see, that's the thing. the enzo (and ferrari's other street-f1 cars) isn't about looks. it's about functionality, and appreciating the function and design of the car. given that, the enzo is beautiful. i love it. i'm obsessed with the f50, and the enzo is just an extension of that. every car maker tries to make cars that appeal to the eye. the wind tunnel dictated the shape of the enzo, not some designer or marketing survey. the enzo is gorgeous. i'm not sure which i like more, the enzo or the f50. i've always loved the f50, even more so than the mclaren, but the enzo is a more advanced street-ft car. suprisingly, the f40 has a better power to weight ratio than both the f50 and the enzo. now, a 3 liter twin-turbo v8, that's pretty sweet. but a v12 that redlines at 8200 is pretty damned sweet, too. from the f40 to the enzo, it's all about appreciation and love. don't you see? it's just an f1 car with fenders, and since f1 is the greatest race series, the enzo 0wnz j00.

I've never liked Ferrari though, show me a Caddy or a Bentley and I'll be like "OMG SO NICE!!!"

BTW...you guys should check the Auto news section. I posted details and photos of this months ago.
That being said, the F40 is the ultimate performance, but I never liked the way it looked. The F50 cleaned up the F40 some..but lost some performance.
The Enzo is a totally different styling direction, and to a certian extent, another drop in perfomance.
In reality, none of us would ever notice the performance difference between F40, F50 or Enzo should we ever get the chance to grace the seat of one...not to mention do back to back comparo's...so it's a moot point really.
Personally, I like the look of the Enzo best. Performance? Who cares...like you'll ever meet up with an F40 or Porche 959 or McLaren to really test it against. If you are lucky enough to get in one.......enjoy whichever you get the chance to drive.
