Keep it up Ferrari! If it takes being dickheads to gearheads with money to generate more awesome rides, go with it! I'm sure someone will forgive you.
And I don't care if they do. More supercars, more passionate little car builders, can't ever be a bad thing. #arash

If you've got the 1 mil+, 'previously
owned' Enzos seem to be readily available, with few-enough miles to insure that the new owner will need to pay for the first brake job. No doubt a lot less money than he's spent on this glorified kit-car project, and he still can't strut around rich-douchebag-style in a Ferrari-brand shirt, jacket, cap, shoes, etc. etc.

Obviously this is the classic case of a brat with too much money a la Nikolay Smolensky. Arash Farboud had already set up a sports car company, commissioned a fine looking sports car, which was promising according to premier Brit magazines, then abandoned it completely for some foolish pursuit of punishing Ferrari.

Personally, I think there's something laudable about his efforts to make an "everyman's Enzo," even though we may differ on the definition of everyman. #arash

@weatherman: I don't know. He seems to get pissy about many things, like when he made this Porsche GT1 knockoff. This seems more like a baby tantrum more than anything.
And it's not like he sticks by his cars anyway. The Farboud GTS was pretty nigh complete and ready to go on sale when he sold the company. I don't expect this to last long either.
If he really wanted the Enzo, he should've bought one used instead of wasting his money on crap projects he's never going to finish. With a pissy head like that, no wonder Ferrari wouldn't sell him an Enzo. #arash

$534,000, and you're giving me plastic windows? Weight savings, my ass! Acrylic windows are used to keep production costs down.
If he'd made this as a one-off because he couldn't get that Enzo for which he pined, I'd be applauding him (because it's a marked step up from a FierEnzo), but instead I will openly mock him for his delusions of "competing" with the company by whom he felt slighted. #arash
