if i had the money i would enter it even though i know they guy in the enzo ferrari would win. but its still fun.... another question what car would you do the gumball in and why, the cheapest car ive ever seen in the gumball have had to been johnny knoxville's jaguar(89 jag with 90000 miles on it.worth $10000) and the dodge caravan steve-o took and the most expensive was the enzo ferrari.

I`d do it in my car, having just spent $10000 to enter I`d also have to eat, sleep and live in my car after selling everything else I own to fund it.

But seriously you can run it in whatever you can, last year saw a VW beetle, an old Mini etc. Even if I could afford to fund it without selling everything I own I`d still use my GT4.

It would be a sweet race to go into but $10000 to race? ill get together a bunch of my friends and just say "OK lets go all around the us and end up here. ok? ok, GO!" btw there was a show on MTV like that. I think it was like True Life : I am a rally racer. It was pretty cool to watch it. I have also wanted to put one of those races together.

There's a much better, cheaper, funner "race" known as the "Double 500" you buy a car for $500 or less, and then attempt to race 500Km in it. It was actually created by somebody involved in the rediculously overpriced rallies like the California Mille and gumball 3000, because he wanted a rally where people could actually afford to have fun.
Needless to says cars like Fiats, Ford Pintos, and Renault Le Cars are common, and driven until (sometimes) they don't run anymore.
My friend and I are thinking about entering his '83 VW GTI for next years event.

its not the guy with the fastest car that wins in this race, its the guy with the biggest cajunes, or however you spell that.

Very true. And anyways, the Enzo can go fast but for how long? Its the Porsches, BMW M5's, and Mercedes that win.

[Drifty]

true and it's cojones.

the thing is the guy with the enzo was in last year's run and the guy is an ex- f-1 driver but im still guessing the dude has horrid gas mileage

[2.5gtv6]

Which former F1 driver? And it's not so much the gas mileage (most cars that go 200mph get shitty mileage) it's the reliability.

[Igovert500]

Well the fact of the matter is that it doesn't matter...if you guys go rent mischief 3000 at your local blockbuster, you will realize that this whole thing is about having fun and comradary...not about who wins. If it were a serious race, they wouldn't be laughing about getting drunk and partying all night, or about who got arrested the most that day. They are all just in it to have fun and drive fast.

[Drifty]

true igovert, i dunno which ex f-1 driver it is but i was watching a clip of the last one on their website and they stated that but they wouldn't release his name, could it be false info?

i guess this would be the actual serious race with skidpad attacks and other events to find out the winners
