All you Ferrari fans...

...You HAVE to get the October '02 issue of Road & Track. It has a beautiful spread on the new Ferrari Enzo, a detailed--and just as beautiful--technical analysis and cutaway of the '03 Viper, and lots of info on all upcoming releases for 2003 and beyond...even the Hawaiian Tropic girls make an appearance on page 137![IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

This issue is definitely one to keep.

I have a passion for Ferrari's
But IMO the Enzo isnt as graceful as the others. and the lines arent as clean as they should be..
To name the car after Enzo Ferrari...I would expect more

I really don't like it... It needs a wing on the back (F50-like). It just looks wierd with such a flat back end. But the underbody is insane. Carbon fiber air foils that are computer adjustable to maintain maximum downforce and keep the car's COG in the optimum position. Just don't hit any rocks! I'm sure 0-60 in under 4 sec and a 220 MPH top end will be enough to sell all 349 of them.

Usually when I think of ferrari, I think of a union of form and function or speed and grace...to me, it looks like they forgot one part of the equation

i kinda like the Enzo, it sure is unique looking, it look very Ferrari to me, granted in an unusal way for Ferrari, but still.

I like all their other models more, but I still wouldn't turn down an Enzo. I just read this issue when I got home from school.

Hey, I have an idea:

1: let's all sell our civics
2: buy one enzo
3: put a honda logo on it
4: send a picture to ferrari and watch them cry.

Ya know, I agree with you guys. If someone came up and handed me the keys and said, "it's yours", I would have to turn it down because it's not "graceful" enough.
