What do those other two cost? How many Ford GT's could ya buy for the price of either one of the others? I understand that an Enzo is an Enzo and that the Carrera GT also fits in this category but come on..... oke:

Carrera= $440,000
Enzos on the aftermarket go from $1 to $2 MILLION.
Vic said:The Enzo does not have classic lines, and the traditional elements of artistic automotive proportion. If it did, that would put it in a category where there is little room for debate as to its beauty. Examples of such cars are the 30's Mercedes 500K, Cord, etc, and more modern cars are represented by the 60s XKE Jags, and the current BMW Z8. With these cars, their beauty is universally accepted and recognized, albeit with some room for debate according to personal taste. But the Enzo represents a departure from classic design, and in that regard we could consider it avant garde. But in my humble opinion, it looks like an anteater. It did not strike me as good looking when I first saw it, rather, its a shape that you have to get used to before it can be appreciated, like a bitter drink. This type of visual excrement can also fade away from style very quickly, as the public's taste goes from edge styling to aero, then back again, depending on the auto trend du jour. Its day in the limelight is limited. If you take off your Ferrari-colored sunglasses, the truth of the "emperor's new clothes" becomes evident, its actually quite fugly! If it was a nasty critter you found under a rock, you'd beat it with a stick until it was dead. It has no user-friendly visual beauty, rather, its a lurid sideshow of crudely fashioned, unrelated shapes, morphed together in a lab, and the result is peculiar and inhuman, like Frankenstein. Most of its visual impact stems from its garishness.
In contrast, the Ford GT has timeless lines, and beauty that grabs you right away. Thats why it was worth doing over, almost 40 years later. The classics never die!
just my 2 cents!

ABSOLUTELY!!!!!CharlieCobra03 said:It'd sure as hell be fun to find out though ^^^^
Why does building for all out speed connote extra weight? The Chrysler ME 4-12 weighs 2888 lbs/1310KG. The Enzo weighs 3009 lbs/1365KG. You can find this info with a 2 minute Yahoo search. There may be some differences depending on which site you find data on, but thats close enough to at least show that the ME 4-12 is not "insanely heavy", as you assert.They built it for all out speed, which means its insanely heavy.
Sure there is, the Enzo, the McClaren F1, just to name a couple. Oh, I see, you mean nothing "beats it" in a subjective way.Nothing beats the 360/430 though.

The Ford GT looks way better than that Enzo!
Yep, I agree 100%!!!! I haven't seen any pics of any other car in ANY price range that looks as good as the Ford GT. And I am NOT a Ford Loyalist by any means. The car just doesn't seem to have a bad angle on it. And I would not say that about very many other cars at all. Definately NOT the Enzo, nor any Lambo. I don't care how much they cost!! If you gave me a Lambo, or an Enzo, I'd take it only to put it up for sale, and buy a Ford GT.Captain Beyond said:I think the Ford GT is the most beautiful car I have ever seen. It is a true work of art. :bowdown:
