They're both ugly IMO, so I'll have to base this on performance and feel...
And there, I guess the Enzo wins. The F40 might give you the little extra excitement when the twin turbos kick in, but IMO this is not enough to take the throne from the Enzo.

this is a really tough one actually. Hmmm. I'm all for the old sk00l, and i dont like all the crap that comes with the enzo. I dont want padle shifting or anything like that. I want a clutch, a steering wheel, a brake pedal and a gas pedal that can unleash hell on my command. So, my vote goes for the one, the only true ferrari supercar. The glorious F40. But only in black.

The F40 is without doubt, one of Ferrari's best Supercars.. but i'll have to go with the Enzo, it's simply the car that deserves the name of Ferrari's maker.
HAHA.. does the "balls" thing about the F40 have to do with the fact that it has 2 Huge .... :twisted:

The F40 is old and quite ugly and there is no warranty on it .
If I am gone bay a super sportcar I buy a new one with warranty it can be quite expensive to repair an old F40 :-)

I'm sorry, I disagree with those that choose the F4o over the Enzo. It makes no sense to me. Just becuase the F40 was "first" doesnt mean it is better. To the contrary, the Enzo made improvements over the F40 and evolved quite a bit. It's performance number are better too.
I think you F40 fans are just being nastalgic ( spelling).
I vote for the Enzo.

I think your head is just too far up your [butt].
The F40 is much better car. The Enzo extremely overrated. There are some positive aspects about it, but the negatives out weigh the positives. I would rather not have a wannabe supercar that was shown up by a $80,000 four banger. I would rather have a pure bred super car with nothing but endless amounts of power.

So what if it doesn't match the lap times of the enzo? The enzo BETTER be faster. But it's just not as fun. And i agree with clarkson. I'm all for fun.

Mr Moderator...when people disagree with you, why do you feel the need to hurl personal insults " your head is too far up your butt". Perhaps you could earn more credibility if you could actually debate the issue.
The Enzo is literally better in every performance category. So saying the F40 is more of a pure sports car is wrong. And saying the enzo is not fun to drive is probably the sillieat comment ever posted on here. Again, I think the F40 paved the way for the Enzo, but now the Enzo is the new king. If the Enzo where built 20 yrs ago and the F40 were the new car...you guys would be calling the enzo the best.

Ok, first off, I personally respect Attaus alot, as a mod on these boards he's insightful, smart and mature for someone his age. You can't tell us we're wrong, this is an opinion based arguement. I suggest you watch the most recent Top Gear episode, most of us have and it basically explains why we like the F40 more so than the Enzo.
But since you likely won't, here's why:
F40, it's lighter, by alot, as such, it's "puny" engine with those twin turbo's can blast you forward almost as fast as an Enzo, and it only starts to lose at about 140 mph. At which time you'll wanna slow down. Now the Enzo will win a race, none of us are saying the F40 could beat an Enzo on a track, that'd be absurd. We're saying, given the choice of driving one, which would likely be more fun.
You're a very opinionated, and quick to "Fire" individual, I've had to rewrite this twice to keep my personal comments out of it.

If the F40 wa never made then the Enzo just would not be here today. The F40 is stick. Hell its soraw and pure it doesn't even have door handles, just a piece of string. This is what a real supercar should be about. FUN. Not all this tracion control. Just a big V8 and it does what ever you tel it to do, when you tell it to do

I guess we have different opinions as to what a super car should be. No door handles, bare bones interior, slower, worse brakes and less build quality are all things the F40 can lay claim to.
The Enzo is a better machine in my opinion.

I made that comment because you have this "im better than you" attitude that I don't appreciate. You have been here less than a month and think that you know what should a should not be done on a Forum. I also replied on which car shoud win. What more do you want? I wouldn't have said that had you not said "I think you F40 fans are just too nastalgic". But you said it, so did I.
The F40 IS a purebread sports car. Having a bare bone interior MAKES it a sports car. Having $20,000 dollar racing buckets makes it overpriced. In my supercar I want two seats, a steering wheel, and three pedals. I dont need anything more. Attention should be focused on performance and styling for maximum efficiency. Ok, so the Enzo is faster. It SHOULD be faster. After 15 years of engineering, Ferrari should have a better car.

Its has a H-Gate Stick, the only thing that would detract me form the F40 would be the fears of twon driving and the heavy clutch which came with all old supercars (except the XJ220). I would rather have a Enzo for its sex appeal, but I would rather drive a F40. But, in fairness, I've never been a HUGE Ferrari fan (I like Ford remember? Ford V Ferrari? Le-mas? Ring any bells?), so if I wanted a supercar, I'd go and have a Lamborghini Murcielago or a Jaguar XJ220. I'll have a Ford GT too!

good god, how many people from austin texas are going to join this forum.
I agree with you though. The F40 has power nothing. It doesn't even have power steering. So, if you dont want to deal with that, then yeah, i'd go with the enzo. But i think that adds character to a car and keeps you awake while you drive. No power steering also makes your forearms bigger.

The F40 is not more wild than the Enzo. You may be confusing less refined and less stable with wildness. The Enzo wins in every performance category and is much more refined. I pick the Enzo any day.
Mopar68
Nov 09, 2004, 12:50 PM
This is the definition of wild:
Wild- going beyond normal or conventional bounds.
Thats just one of the many definitions, but it sums up this argument. Being unrefined and untamed is exactly what makes a car wild. The F40 is as raw as it comes. It's so pure. Nothing can hold the F40 back. There are no electronic devices to prevent the driver from doing something stupid. It takes a level of insanity to drive an F40.
Like i said before, ok, the F40 would get creamed by the Enzo around the track. No doubt about that. But the driver of the F40 is going to have alot more fun because he'll be driving the car. A car as advanced as the Enzo can almost drive itself. Where is the fun in that?
So no, your wrong in saying the F40 is less wild than the Enzo. Saying that it is isn't an opinion, it's a fact. And i can prove facts wrong.

I think you are the one that is confusing wild with less refined and less stable.
For example, you're going in a turn, going full speed. You brake, shift down, steer, etc. An Enzo will do this smooth, and very neat. Well, it's supposed to do that. A F40 will be harder to control in the corner, because it hasn't got these electronic systems.
If it's hard to control, i'd call that a wild car.
And I prefer that, because if you can control the car through the corner you can say: I did that!. If you control an Enzo through a corner, it's probably all these electronic systems who took the corner, not you.

Thats a fair point. But deciding which car you would rather own should take into account far more than pre-cornering logistics.
How about rifinement? Which car would you rather own if you had to bet your house on winning a track race ( or any race for that matter)? Which car looks more like a piece of artwork? Which car has the technology worthy of such a car?
Again, I think the Enzo is in a different league than the F40. Frankly, its a bit of a stretch to even compare them.

I havent read all 7 pages of info, but my vote goes to the F40, it looks the best (looks one of the best Ferraris), has a turbo, despite lag, this makes it cool in my books, has huge holes in the rear winow, looks like a mean beast, enzo looks like a little cat against the beast of the F40! and tyres so wide.... i dont know, just very wide rear tread... oh and its the same age as me! :cool:

In a race where i could win something i would always take the Enzo over the F40, but that's not the point here. But if it's only a trackday, it'll be the F40 hands down!
And the corner was an example for the fun-factor we're talking about.
I think their both a wonderfull piece of art, but because when they made the F40 they didn't had the technology that they have now. So you can't compare that really.
I still say: F40 for me

Nov 09, 2004, 4:35 PM
CarRocker, with all due respect, your last paragraph makes no sense at all.
You said because when the F40 was built, they didnt have the technology they have now so we cant compare it against the Enzo. THATS EXACTLY MY POINT!
The enzo is a more technically advanced, refined, higher performing automobile. This comparo is getting bizarre when everybody agrees the Enzo is faster, more refined, more of a piece of artwork, and utilizes higher technology; then F40 fans discount all of that and say its not fair because the F40 was built 20yrs ago. Then the answer is the F40 loses the comparo.
I didnt know we were weighing production dates and $$ in the equation. I thought we were just comparing the two machines and voting for which one was better. You guys sound more and more like Corvette fans as this thread grows.

Nov 09, 2004, 6:33 PM
Can't compare them...Ok...Ferrari every few years comes out with a car that expresses everything they've learned on the track, and transferred to the road. In the late eighties Grand Prix cars generally used Twin Turbo V8's, as such that's what the F40 used.
The F50 had a V12 similar to the early 90's Ferrari grand prix cars, suspension tech. Both the F40 and F50 were light as heck, and got rid of everything on the inside.
The Enzo is simply the newest version of Ferrari's "Super Ferrari's", it has all the technolody a Grand Prix car has nowadays, paddle shifters, electronic stuff up the wazoo...etc...
So, this is simply "Old versus New", nothing more. And it boils down to, Do you want something to beat everyone on the track in, or something that is a bigger adrenaline rush? The F40 wins in my "fun" book...
Mopar68
Nov 09, 2004, 7:00 PM
Tuna, you dont get it. It's just not getting through to you.
So lets go through this agian:
The enzo is faster, handles better and easier, more refined and no doubt would be faser around the track. However, it wouldn't be as much fun. Why? Cause the enzo has electronic aids. If you go too fast, it'll slow you down. It makes it easier for you to brake and turn and shift.
Now, every single last member in this forum is a car lover. They love cars for speed, not for image or how fast they are. They want fun. Agreed? Fun is heal-toe shifting and drift braking and actually turning the wheel. Having fun is letting the back end a little lose around the corner and compensating for turbo lag. It's a rush, and it's what all of us here live on.
This is the end of the argument right here: I'd rather go slower around a track and come out with all my muscles aching and sweating buckets than whisk myself around the same track faster and with less effort. Less effort equals less fun. Get it? And no, the enzo is no piece of art. It's form following function. Its not beautiful at all. It's a race car made to go as fast as possible. The F40 is way better looking.

Mopar has a good point, as does Ghalos. You really don't get what we're saying. The car enthusiasts (all of us I hope) have a passion for cars. We dont love cars because of how fast they can get around a track. We love cars because of how much fun we have driving around that track. The Enzo is just so controlling and lifeless, the only reason you would buy one is because of its design, slightly better track times, and interior quality. Ok, this is true. The point is, you could have the fastest car in the world, and you would have absolutely no fun if the car told you what you can and cannot do. I would rather have a power nothing, bare bone, nothing but a steering wheel and seat supercar, than a controlling, overpriced, too "sheek" art car. We DONT CARE that the Enzo is faster or more refined, so PLEASE stop bringing it up.

Frankly, I'm guessing this is a chat room with 2-3 people using different nicknames but thats besides the point.
To paint the Enzo as some sort of numb, lifeless, boring Honda Accord shows just how out of touch you people are. To say the Enzo looks ugly is equally ridiculous. The F40 was a great car. It had its day in the sun. The Enzo is king now with its excitement & performance.

Tuna, only a few people in this thread agree with what you are saying. You don't seem understand the comparison. We are NOT comparing speed. We ARE comparing the characters of the cars and which would be best to drive. IMO the enzo seems a little bit bland. It has character, but it is wrapped in electronics and computers that restric this. It seems to have,lets say a protective casing, not allowing you to unleash the true character. The F40 has it in bucket fulls and is not restricted in any way. Therefore would be, Not the best, but the most fun to drive. Its raw and pure. These characteristics are raley found in cars these days no matter how fast they are.

Tuna, only a few people in this thread agree with what you are saying. You don't seem understand the comparison. We are NOT comparing speed. We ARE comparing the characters of the cars and which would be best to drive. IMO the enzo seems a little bit bland. It has character, but it is wrapped in electronics and computers that restric this. It seems to have,lets say a protective casing, not allowing you to unleash the true character.

Your wasting your breath... he doesn't know how to read.
BTW: Even tho I would choose the Enzo, I see what your saying. I too like how some cars just look like the purist form of sport car. It's just a matter of image for me. As shown in my wish list garage all mine did have all the computers , and did look futuristic. I only bring that up to show how these threads SHOULD be , so that our trolling friend may eventually get the picture.....
Also , good coments from stunt cars and car rocker......

Good point car rocker, i should read my posts before i enter them.
What i meant to say was this:
Now, every single member of this forum is a car lover. They love cars for the thrill, not for image or how fast they are....
Make more sense?
I think i should end this argument soon, because i think it's just going to get out of hand. Tuna, you dont supposrt your opnions with facts. They're just facts. So this is the last time i'm going to say this. The Enzo is an amazing machine. It's the height of automotive technology. But thats exactly why i dont like it. Too much technology. I like the F40 for what it doesn't have, not for what it does have. It doesn't have any power devices. It's pure car. Engine, chassis, wheels, seat and thats basically it. You sit down in the car, and there is nothing in it except the gas pedal, the clutch, the brake, the steering wheel and the shift lever. To me, that spells fun. When you get into the enzo, you see lots of buttons. I dont like buttons. So, case in point:
The F40 is a race car. It's made just for driving, and it takes skill and courage to drive. The Enzo is a computer with wheels. It's fast, but not dangerous. Whats the point in drivng fast if it's not dangerous?

Mopar, thats just silly. The Enzo will give you more of an adrenelin rush than you could handle. More excitement than i night on the town with Teresa Heinz.
You say this is not about image...yet Incutl"ass" says he chooses the Enzo more for "image". I guess you two should debate on your own. I cant keep up with your contradictions.
( and the UN did authorize the use of force...they just didnt have the grapes to back up what they said. It took GWB to put an end to the 11 yrs of empty UN threats )

Once again.... he doesn't read... I never said I liked the F40 more than the enzo, so where is the contradiction....?
They say fish have small brains. Our trolling friend has just proved it. Thanks for letting me ( and everyone else) beat on you.
Not sure how you got such a big mouth, I would only guess you have dirty knees as well.
Later MORON.

To all those who keep saying that the F40 is more 'raw' and fun...
Have you actually driven both so you can choose?
I do believe that the Enzo will offer greater thrills than any car today. And there is no "computer stuff", everything can be deactivated...
We're talking about the FLAGSHIP of Ferrari, I'm sure they've put amazing effort into it.
And I would advise all of you (both Tuna and the other side) to be more polite.

Then said " I never said I like the Enzo better..." . Wow, this is too weird for me.
That is what you wrote. So why are you saying you never said that and I dont read? You are now in a great debate with yourself. You are a great debater...some would say a "mastur-debator". LOL!
I agree with the previous poster. We need to remain civil and agree to disagree on this comparison.

Your right jim, i most definetly do not know if the Enzo or F40 is more fun. But from everything i've heard, the F40 seems more fun than the Enzo, so i'll go with that. Also, the electronic aids can be turned off, but i imagine it would be next to impossible to drive since it we designed with the electronic aids on (just a guess, i dont have any real info to back that up). Plus, the enzo, even with electronic stuff turned off, has power everything. Brakes, steering, etc. The F40 has power nothing, which is more fun in my opnion. A better connection between driver and car. I know for a fact that it's much easier to drive a car without power steering, but there is a sense of a direct connection between you and a car and i like that.
I should've also pointed out i'm extremely biased towards cars with real transmissions, not the paddle shift sequential kind. I like the regular manual for the same reason i like no power steering.

Trust me, I know what you're talking about.
I just think that the Enzo might be as fun as the F40, if not more.
And FYI, all Ferraris are built and designed without the electronic systems. Those are just additional safety elements.

It looks like there are 6 other people that agree with me so far in this poll. I'm guessing that number will keep climbing.Woohoo! Now its only 19 to 7 in favor of the F40! You're on your way back! =D>
Look at the polls. I know that there are not 100% accurate, but if we are in favor of the F40 by a margin of 50%, there must be a reason.
Btw, we aren't just three people. That would be pointless and stupid, just like your posts. I dont normally feel this way towards members, but you are on the end of a long string of crappy members that just like to stir up trouble. Thats right, jump on the bandwagon. Piss us off while you're at it. You stated the SAME ideas atleast 10 times. I don't even care what you have to say, im sick of it. We are entitled to our opinions, and so are you. We dont call you an idiot when you say you prefer the Enzo. I respect that. What I dont respect is when you call US idiots for picking a car for different reasons. We're trying to save this forum by putting up quality posts and keeping good solid opinions coming in that are open to ideas. You are just trying to tear it down. Yeah, go ahead, whine about it to the other mods because "im treating you unfairly", but frankly, I think you had it coming.

it seems like in these topics everyone has their opinion, but feels the need to state it 400 times,
you say your opinion, someone disagrees with you, you end up getting in a big fight with them...this is how its been working, and i dont think that its a good thing....people need to value other people opinions, just because you don't agree, doesn't mean you need to get in a large arguement on the boards with them :cool:

Do you remember when I claimed you put words in peoples mouths. Here is the proof.
CAN ANYONE FIND IN THE 9 PAGES OF THIS TOPIC FIND WHERE I SAID" I NEVER SAID I LIKE THE ENZO BETTER" AS IN TUNAS CLAIM.
LOOK NOW PLEASE.
"Too weird"...you bet ya. I never said what you claim.lying comes easily to you or what? What I did say was that you can't read, which you have just proven.
What I said was " I never said I liked the F40 more than the enzo" Refer to page 8. I said that because you claimed "you are being too nostalic in choosing the F40." I talked about the image of the Enzo, and how because of it's futuristic look, it would also be in my futuristic garage.

Aint copy and past a great thing. You really should learn how to use it if your going to quote someone. I can't tell if you are an idiot by choice or if you are sincerely retarded. In any event , you are an embarrassment to mankind, and the general IQ average for the world would bump up 10 points if you were living on the moon.
You have not been able to win any argument, post any facts, or sway any opinions with your incoherent dribble. One word sir "obtuse" look it up.
Anyway I am done abusing you for the evening. I think I have been able to prove you don't have 2 firing neurons in your head, and I also am willing to bet the moderator has been letting me be so abusive to you because we all agree on you, and I am typing what everyone is thinking. Gooday punk.
