its less than that, unless you are talking about pads and rotors. Pads alone are about $6000, and rotors each are about $12,000. These cars really arent made for daily drivers cause the cost to maintain them is so expensive.

I just saw 5 of them today and a couple yesterday... This weekend is the Concorso d' Elegante in Monterey/Pebble Beach, Cali.

Also so tons of Ferraris, Porsche's, Bentleys and lots of old school cars.

They are awesome in person. I know a guy(friend of a friend) that bought one for $1 mil, sold it two months later for 1.25 mil. They're freaking awesome. Sidenote* Also, the reason, at least for engine service, that serviceing them is so high is because they basically have to take the car apart to do the service. Went to drop off one with said friend (yellow 360 modena spider his boss just bought and wanted it serviced right away)for service. There was a guy there that's there almost every time we take a car to drop off for service, that was having his 67' serviced. It had been there for 2 months. They bring him his bill, it's $30K. He looks at is, then at the service rep, then back at the bill, and I swear these are his words "That's all? I'd have thought it'd be around a hundred grand or so." I sure am glad it's only a couple of hundred bucks to service my civic, at most. The things I could do with the money they spend servicing their cars.

Well I am assuming if you can fork out a million for a car, then 30k should be nothing for service.

it wasnt engineered to look good. its basically a just a street legal formula car. The interior on the enzo is very very rustic its just a f1 with closed wheels and a roof. As far as my understanding, you had to own at least two other ferrari's to even be eligible to purchase the enzo. with that in mind, the enzo filled its waiting list before ferrari even released information on it. basically everyone who was on the waiting list for the enzo didnt even know what the car looked like, they just wanted to buy it.

 eligible to buy a enzo. wow yes, that makes sense. "YOU HAVE THE MONEY, BUT... SEE... WE DONT WANT IT TIL YOU PROVE YOU HAVE BOUGHT TWO FERRARI'S PREVIOUSLY. that just doesen't sound right... i know it's not right. I've seen the enzo's, but im just gonna brag a bit more about the challenge stradale since i got to drive it. it kicks ***...

by the way, lets say for a second that it did have cupholders, would you use them? lets see how fast your drink would end up all over your car, the cup flies to the back of the car (since the back is technically the middle, damn big engines) too much horsepower to deal with petty things like cupholders.. screw that. its not a damn leisure car. its a rocket with wheels.

I remember seeing a special on the BBC about the F-50 (was the fastest ferrari, now the little brother to the enzo) and even the guy who pushes cars to their limits for a living said driving it was too much. He said something like if i have to choose between driving the F50 every day and another car I would choose life. This was after he said the car corners TOO well. He was taking turns really fast with no body roll, almost a little lean in, and he said it scared him.

All i know is from seeing an F-50 in person, a V12 made by Ferrari is way too much to handle as a daily driver. I know there are VERY few people who would be responsible enough behind the wheel of one; either most of us would crash or get arrested for speeding.

That was the TOP SPEED British guy, and he said he would take A Fully Loaded F355 Over the F50

Wait just a minute here. I thought Ferrari had a contract that you were not suppose to sell the car for a year. Did your friend buy it used or new???

Other requirements are to have own previous ferrari's and none of them could have been in an accident.

Some people don't seem to realize that a Enzo was never intented to be pretty. Its form following function in its purist form. Everything on that car serves a purpose....and that is what makes it beutiful.

(i love ferraris if you can't tell.)

^^ i agree!

i saw one around hartford, even from the other side of the highway, passing eachother at high speed, i thought the car was incredibly gorgeous!

i think the reason they dont allow just anyone w/ money to get one is because its like riding motorcycles...you have to be ready to upgrade to something more powerful. in europe they have laws that a beginner has to start w/ a 250cc bike or something like that, and then he can move up to 600cc and then to higher displacements. its the same thing ferrari is doing i think. it takes them a month to build one, and theyre not building a lot of them, i would think theyd want more of their cars on the road than in piles of wreckage.

great video! definitely a place to visit.
