ENZO or ZONDA F???

Tough call but I would probably take the Zonda. I know it is a blasphemy, considering that I am a Tifosi!!!

F40... I like the sound of that! Good choice

More and more Im becoming a fan of Formula 1 racing, and that lends itself towards the Enzo. I love Ferrari, and I love the high revving engine and the high downforce body. It isn't the prettiest car out there, but I really really like the Enzo.

Im not a fan of the flamboyant styling nor the Mercedes engine. It just isn't how I like my engines. On the other hand, everyone thats ever driven the Zonda loves it, and it beat the Enzo and the MC12 on the Top Gear track. It is a very cool car.

Im gunna go with the Enzo

I like the zondas look better, performane is comparable, at least straight line, i dunno how a zonda does on the track, but thats my choice

Zonda F. It just has more passion than the Ferrari, which is too much of a computer for me... Also prefer a traditional manual, which you can't get in the Enzo...

[Neutrino]

As big of a ferrari fan I am, I'm afraid i might say Zonda F. I could forgive the controversial styling of the Enzo by atributing it to the "function over form" logic; however: Give us a freakin manual, Ferrari!!!!

I find myself more and more frustrated to see the fastest Ferraris with "flappy padle gearboxes" if you would forgive my Clarksonism. When you make a cars for enthusiats such as the Stradale or the Enzo, how can you withold the manual option. Its like offering us the option of marrying a supermodel but denying us sex with her. Its an ourage!!!

[Jimster]

Where's the Carrera GT? Yeah, I'll still take the Zonda F, it's too damn hard to resist, even if it looks like I designed it when I was 10.

Come on now Jimmy, cars didnt exist when you were 10.

No no, you're right but I always envisioned that something like the Zonda would replace our donkey, when they found a way to make Robotised mules

Yeah, but the Zonda has more than a few trite styling features and some that are just plain odd: the rocketboy tailpipe cluster, the sea worm HVAC pipes...

Spending my money (on the odd presumption that I'd ever have that much), I'd go with the Ferrari. The Zonda has an "outsourced" engine while the Ferrari is wholly a Ferrari. And although I've not driven the Enzo, I'll take paddle shifting in a car where things happen as fast as they most probably do in the Enzo.

There are some cars I'd rather use a traditional manual shifter in, but they're mostly lower powered cars. I loved the paddle shifting in the Ferrari 360, it's great in the M3. I can't remember anything about shifting the Zonda.
