eh...its really not.
The FXX is more of a program than it is a car. Not street legal, not even fully released to the owners AFAIK, 150 more HP, and 4x as much as the Enzo (MSRP, yes they are traded for almost 2x that now)....just to be in this program.
Sure it was based on the Enzo, and they used it as a test bed for future technologies and 9/10 ppl would look at the 2 side by side and say they are the same. Ferrari fanatics would cringe at that as much as we would to people saying "nice Miata!"

The FXX is a heavily modified enzo. Why they did, how they did it, and the specifics related to how it is owned, leased, etc. don't change that.
if Porsche stopped letting you purchase outright the 911gt3RSR racecar would that mean that it stops being a 911?
see what I mean?
don't get me wrong, I agree that it is silly for them to list that car as if it is in the same league as the vast majority of the other cars on there but it's still an enzo.
