Cuz 80% of Enzos are sitting unused in nitrogen-filled plastic bags like a 1910 Honus Wagner
19% of Enzos are already wrecked
1 % of Enzos are daily driven, but the owners are too busy with hookers and coke parties to care about anything else

Some of those guys can just get girls by asking nicely and are really into X.

I'm not surprised. I watched a video review of the Scuderia a while back and the guy ran identical lap times as the Enzo.

The Enzo has a better power to weight ratio but the Scuderia outdoes it by:

Shorter gearing
4 times faster shifts
Better brakes
Stickier tires
You're missing the biggest improvement. The active e-diff. In the same review as it posted the same lap time as the Enzo, the driver turned off the e-diff assist and the cars handling went down the shitter performance wise.

Braking: 60-0 in 93 ft! That's the first time I've seen a car beat 100 ft in that test. Amazing!

I have a friend w/ an Enzo, and having ridden in it, I can't even describe how badass it is. Just the looks of the thing, inside and out, put non-supercar Ferraris to shame.

He never picks his rides based on bang for the buck, so I doubt he's kicking himself over the prospect that he could have bought a similarly performing car for a fraction of the price. Fact is that his car "portfolio" is likely performing quite well as an investment!

Although I love the 430 to death and hope to get one in the future, I must say the Enzo is an Enzo and I'd take one before a 430 Scuderia just for its rarity and what it means.....

An Enzo is an ugly car. The 430 is a looker...not as pretty as the 360 Modena, but a looker anyway.

I agree with the 360 part. It's clearly related but they are working to make the basic 360 look worse and worse each year while making the performance numbers and reportedly handling better. Too bad they can't put all that under the original 360 shell.

That car is Awesome but for some reason I like the Porsche GT2 better.
Along with its MPG it is just as fast if not faster and I think would make a better DD.
