Default Saw an Enzo today

I saw an Enzo today right here in MA. I took 100+ pictures, but I think the video I took sums it up pretty well.

How many people in NH can own an Enzo anyways. Even with the vanity plate "PASTA" it shouldn't be hard to find the owner lol

Nice.

At least you have the decency of stopping and getting out of the car to do this, some jackass a few months ago almost made my GF get into a car accident with him because he was too amazed at seeing a Ferrari. It wasn't an Enzo, it was just a typical F430.

Just up the street was a mechanic specializing in exotics, there were a bunch of em there to take pics of!

I've never seen one in person yet, but black is my favorite color for the Enzo ...

I find the rim design to be rather pedestrian for the likes of a hypercar like an Enzo.

What an amazing machine. This car is the only car to ever bare the name of the creator of ferrari. Also at less than 2800 lbs and 660 hp I think its still one of the baddest cars ever created in automotive history. A car like this increase in value over time

I sat in one about 6 years ago.What a car!
A guy I know buys Ferraris and bought a red '03(I think) Enzo.He buys Ferraris and keeps them for a year and then sells them.Rarely uses them to keep the mileage under the 1000 number.
He sold the Enzo for twice the amount he paid so he says.Nice $$$ due to it's limited production number..

You don't lower an Enzo...those are cars are set up from the factory that way for a reason!! Like people who lower and extend crotch rockets!!! Makes no sense

Beautiful car but do people actually enjoy the car itself instead a trailer queen or only took out one in a blue moon?

Try silver. Got to sit in it and everything. The sales person only said "do not scratch" and winked at us

Wow! That's nice! The coolest car I've seen has been a Ferrari F50. I would love to see the Enzo some day

At the rate that Enzos (and Lambos) are getting wrecked at insane speeds by crazy drivers, the chances of seeing one on the street get less and less all the time.
