    I just camed back from Sweden, where i experienced the most thrilling thing in my life ever! I sat on an Italien pizza restaurant, as i was waiting to get my pizza capricosia i saw something red. I couldn't belive it at first, but it was a Ferrari F50!!! I ran after it, and followed the F50 all the way untill it parked. It was the most beutifull car i have ever seen. When the owner came back, and started the V12! engine, i ran after it as it was slowly driving towards the exit of the store. He revved the engine, to what i think most have been around 5000+ rpm, i thought i was going too faint, that sound was just so incredible...
    I will never forget it...

    Glad to hear you had such a good experience. I had one similar a few months back when i was coming out of a movie theater. It is something one will never forget. Its truly amazing to see a Ferrari unleashed out in the wild. Its a rare sight in some parts of the world, i personally have never been anywhere with a Ferrari supercar such as the Enzo, F50, F40, 288 GTO. Numerous other Ferrari's, but not the supercars. Thanks for sharing your experience, it was felt through the heart! Maybe someday i shall be in the presence of one...i hope.

    Last week I was at a Ferrari Dealership where an Enzo was being serviced, what a sound!!! The mechanics where revving it and I think that I may have soiled myself!

    Indeed. An F50-engine needs to be revved to reveil it's true nature. When it's not, it's just hums away like a sowingmachine.

    I can't imagine what it must feel like to owne a Ferrari F50.
    Every time you go out and in to your garage the red beuty stands there, ready to be driven and revved up too the rev limiter... But if i owned one i don't think i would take it to the limiter very often though...
    But i have never seen a more beutifull car, but someday i am going too see an Enzo!
    At the Ferrari museum, (Galleria Ferrari) anyone know if it's possible too see the Enzo there?

    I'd enjoy every moment with the car if I had one. I'd probaby wake up at least once an hour during the night just to admire the beauty of it sitting in my garage. I'd definately take it up to my workplace and show my boss. He is a car nut and would love to see it. Hell I'd probably even let him drive it after I got used to driving it. It is, in my opinion, the best looking car ever built, and I would love to have one in my garage.

    I saw an Enzo in the shop a week or two ago. It was at Continental Ferrari in Chicago. They didn't turn the volume up though.
