Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Ferrari FXX vs. Enzo

[Rick Moseley (ramosel]

I think Dennis makes a valid point.  Having just had the opportunity to
crawl all over an FXX last Friday at Sears Point, the FXX is an still born
as an Enzo but taken to the extreme limit.  It still has a street car soul
but is taken about as far as it could go without being a purpose built
silohuette racer that looks like an Enzo.  Our GT1(TransAM) car is supposed
to be a Mangusta.... But, it's a purpose built chassis (Huffaker).  The ONLY
parts we share with a street Mangusta are the taillights.  

I suppose you could compare a it like a Street vette vs. a world challenge
vette vs. vettes that run at Le Mans.  They all look the same but are
drastically different under the skin (well, the skin is different too).

For me though, the FXX still gets high marks on sound... That shrill wail
will make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up if you are a real car
guy...  Better than sex...

Had you the money for an FXX, you could get a real race car and have one
heck of a race budget left over.  Having an FXX just shows a love of the
Marque or a disregard for money... Or both

The FXX is to the Enzo what the 430/360 Challenge is to the street car.  Is
the FXX a "real" race car?  It might seem like it to most, but it's not in
that it's still a modified street car.  It's also peculiar in that it's not
really intended to be raced, yet it's a race car.  The fit and finish on the
FXX is perhaps the best ever in a "race car".  

Vty,

I'd like to start a discussion on the differences between the FXX and the
Enzo.

I've seen all of the published stats on the web, in print, etc. Has anyone
driven both or have any insider info on the real differences in feel,
performance, scaled weight, etc.

Are there any published performance figures for the FXX?

Does this video make anyone's privates tingle?
