    I have an Elite 1:18 Enzo and all is well. taken it apart and reassembled 10+ times.

    I started to do the long awaited conversion to the Enzo GT (the Maserati/Ferrari test mule that everyone thought was an Enzo GT) when I realized something awkward... The passenger side mirror is almost half the width of the driverside.

    After some examining of photos, I'm still confused. I have not been able to find a picture that proves this, however a lot of the photo's I have view indicate this.

    Anyone know the real deal? any Enzo owners that can tell me why I'm feeling crazy for missing this detail for so long?

    After a few more pictures, I believe I have confirmed this is true. But why? wouldn't it make more sense to have the driverside just as short? Doesn't this hurt the aerodynamics? Something like a windshield wiper being upright on the FXX makes sense to me, for aerodynamics, but isn't that a minor issure, when compared to the size of the driversideview mirror?

    The mirrors on the original car are asymmetrical and it does not hurt the aero on the car.About the wiper-the only reason why it is upright is because if it is laying flat (horizontal) at 200mph it will fly off like a ribbon.If you look at pictures you can see a lot of people who take their wipers off on track days.
