I love when you get the modded car answers. Always a good chuckle.

He also forgot some major things, like carbon-ceramic brakes. Very very expensive.

Edmunds:
"Juechter says, "The only vehicle I know of that has these brakes as standard equipment is the 1,000-hp Bugatti Veyron." Then he adds with a grin, "Although I think you can get them as a $20,000 option on the Ferrari 599."
If you can buy an Ferrari 599, $20K add-on is a drop in the bucket.

The crazy thing is. The ZR-1 has a better brake setup than a $1 million Enzo. The rear 15-inch Brembo carbon-ceramic rotors fitted to the ZR1's, are the brakes originally designed for the front of the Enzo supercar. The ZR-1 front brakes are even bigger 15.5-inch carbon-ceramic inch rotors.

This is carazy...but i dunno maybe it's just me but i feel it's still to american-ish for my taste...i dunno i might change my opinion if i ever ride in one of those (ZO6 at least) but...untill then i care less about 0-60, 0-100...i care more for 8500 rpm. I am too used to the torquey engines with low rpms...i now desire smth totally different

Ok I see the point you guys have on the "modded" issue. Its still overpriced considering the 1st one sold for 3 million dollars not too long ago.

Actually the very first production ZR-1 sold for 1 million dollars at Barrett-Jackson, not 3 million.

The only reason it went that high was because anything over the the $99,999 msrp went towards the United Way.

The man who bought the car Dave Ressler, actually bid against himself at one point. It was all for charity. Anything over the $99,999 was tax deductible.

Do you think the Enzo is overpriced at 1 million?

No cause they're a limited number handmade race car. Not a mass produced assembly lined made car. You dont have to have owned a Vette to buy the newest Vette. Its a Ferrari!

lets just say i own a c6 vette convertible with 625hp. you can basiclly add a few more mods and have as much horse as a zr-1 for about half the cost. i have full widebody z06 conversion on mine also. so it looks like a z06 but its a convertible and i have more power than a z06
