    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.

    If I had a Ford GT, I wouldn't park it. I'd just drive it! But if I did park it, it would be protected.

    @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.

    Delicious.

    The original GT40's mission was a gigantic middle finger directed squarely at Ferrari. Here's to carrying on the family motto!

    I can't tell you how excited I am. Like "can't stand up" excited.

    Peter, you made my day. The GT40 is in the top 3 most beautiful cars to me, along with the Ford GT and '37 Bugatti Type 57S.

    However, on this, my last day at KSC, I have to say that the business end of a Saturn V rocket is, possibly, cooler.
