@geschmidtt: A company that spends most of its time grinding out Focuses, versus a company that spends most of its time grinding out supercars and racecars. I'll take the GT.Reply
I've yet to see an Enzo in the flesh, much less with engine bay opened up like a prom date. I have seen a GT in such a state of undress, at a track day, and it was beautiful. Sinful. I wanted to shank the douchebag who got to drive it and take it from him.Reply
@Turboner: I saw an Enzo once at a car show. A car show at GA Tech's parking lot. A car show without rope around the cars or anyone really watching over the vehicles. At least it seemed no one was watching over them. That's what I thought until I was asked, not so pleasantly, to move along. I did snap a few pictures though before they got me...Reply
I love it. But it has been eternally scarred for me by being the car that made Clarkson cry. And those weren't tears of joy: [www.timesonline.co.uk]Reply
Do yer research, buddy. Ford wanted to have a Ford at Le Mans for a long time. He was going to buy a bunch of Ferrari factory "assets", but Enzo Ferrari shut him down because Ferrari wouldn't be able to race in the Indy 500. Henry Ford II got pissed, and built the Ford GT40 to race at Le Mans. The Ford GT40 wound up beating Ferrari, which had won six years in a row, prior to that race. Basically, the whole dang car was an "eff you, Enzo".Reply
So... what does it have to do with this car? Is this the car that beat Ferrari 40 years ago? No. Is this guy a descendant of Henry Ford II and still have beef with the dead Enzo Ferrari? Doubt it!
By telling a pushy, egocentric, stuck-up Italian auto-maker to f- off. I don't see why you're so up in arms about this. You're Enzo's grandchild, or something?Reply
@gtuned: Who is going to be able to read it? Any Ford GT I've encountered in the wild is only at a passing glance, and usually the only thing I could really make out was the exhaust note.Reply
@skaycog was here: That device reminds me of the terrible smell you get when you open up some toy made in a "low-cost-country" with lower-cost plastic.. how it makes you want to retch a little when you let the air out of a beach ball, for example. That beautiful car enveloped by those VOC's .. makes me shudder .. how will they ever get the smell out of the car.Reply
@blueplate: Thanks for the info but no thanks.....what you said made a lot of sense. I only posted that photo because I'm so nutty about the Ford GT. I didn't know that bubble was an actual product.Reply
