Totally ****** Up
That thing is pretty f*cking epic!! It’s hard to believe they are really going to make that car. It is so much sexier than the 458, which I didn’t think was possible. Hat off to LaFerrari for making a LaFreaking-Monster. I don’t think you can compare the looks with the GT, retro vs spaceship, it’s not apples/apples. It’s like comparing a Monet and a Mozart, they just arn’t the same thing. This will definitely crawl into the very-dated category in a big way, but it may take 100 years for that to happen, in the meantime… wow!
To bad the new McLaren isn’t a center seater. I bet it is the best ‘drivers car’ but I was looking for F1 throwback. That rear wing is off-the-chart, I bet it makes enough downforce to dig a hole in the ground.
Thanks for the pix, laDave.

Well.........................I guess Pockets is the proverbial pair of brown shoes in a tuxedo world...again. :facepalm:
The car does nothing for me. It's okay, I guess, but I much prefer the looks of the 458. :shrug

You aren't kidding! :ack
You have to be both an attorney and engineer possibility understand this crap.
Ford must have more than 50 to 100+ people dedicated to regulation compliance.

I'm with you on this one. There is more than a passing resemblance to the Glickenhaus P4/5, just not enough to make it attractive.

The F40 and Enzo still stun me. This one is nice though. Love those active stability flaps under the car. Can't wait to see what an oil change costs though. The answer is "if you have to ask. ... "

I got a lot more hurt from reading the rules for a GT, GT1 and GT3 class cars. They even give you the instruction book.

Anybody care to make a wager as to the percentage of these cars that will sustain damage to the door mirrors within a 3 year period?
They stick out so far, with so little support, I think an attorney wouldn't have too much of a problem arguing 'Attractive Nuisance'. They have, 'Come Break Me Off' written all over them.

+1. The $1,200 - $1,400 (or whatever it is) that's demanded for a 'change on an Enzo is just a wee bit much IMHO. Oil is oil ('special' blend, 'pixie dust' or not) and a filter is essentially a filter. (And, for you tech types grabbing for your keyboards - yeeees I know their are differences between 'filters "X" and "Y"...but, the point's the same. :wink)
Yeah, I love that! That adage has always irritated me to no end! How is one supposed to make out a check w/o knowing the amount??? Besides, being able to pay "X" amount for something doesn't necessarily mean one should automatically be willing to pay whatever might be demanded.
I'll shuddup now...
Hundreds specifically dedicated to various levels of compliance, thousands of engineers that have to work under compliance guidelines each and every single day.
FVMSS is a very long and complicated set of rules, and unfortunately they are not common with some of the regulations in other countries.
