My fave.

This happens to be my favorite Ferrari. I don't know why many people don't like it. Does anybody know someone who has one? Wasn't there only a limited number of them inported to the US?

I do happen to know a guy who owns one. I was at a store and there was a nice 355 there so naturally I went to look at it. A guy came out and I asked if he had any other Ferraris, and he said yes. He named every single Ferrari between 1970 and 2003. He told me he owns a F40 and F50 as well. I asked him what color the F50 was and he said it was yellow. He then said he had a purple lamborghini diablo, a porsche GT2 and a Metallic Orange McLaren F1!! I of course did not believe this but then one day as I was driving down the road I saw his McLaren and I have a picture to prove it. I figure if you can own a McLaren then you definetly have the money to afford an F50. He also said that when it came out he was going to buy the Porsche Carrera GT and the F60 which he told me he was on the waiting list for, and he gets it earlier then the public because he has bought so many Ferraris before. Then he got into his car and started it up. It was the loudest thing I have ever heard, it sounded like a motorbike. I dont know if this is after market or stock exaust. He also had some rims with 6 spokes that were not stock for sure. They were not in the star shape either. Here is the picture of his McLaren at the Pavillions shopping mall in Scottsdale, AZ. Enjoy!

Enzo Ferrari would have a heart attack if he saw it. I'm sure he'd be happy with cars that came after him like the 348, 355 especially, 456 and 550. The F50 was not what it should have been. Yeah, it looks pretty cool, but it's not exactly pleasing. The performance was there, same as the AMAZING F40. But what the fuck?! It came 10 years after the F40 and the performance was the same?. Some say it's not even up to F40 performance. For a 50th Anniversary car, it's pathetic. Enzo Ferrari would not be happy.

I think that the reason to why people hate it is for instance they only look at the design and not at the acceleration, handling and topspeed some people say that it isn't the prettiest thing ever to come from The Pininfarina Styling Studios. I personaly mean it is the prettiest ever. Far prettier then the Enzo (not to hurt some peoples feelings) most people don't know what to look after in a supercar !!! they go out from the design, and it's there they go wrong !!!

I know this is a year old but this statement is BS. My neighbor has been driving Ferraris since he was 16 and he got his Enzo just when everyone else did.

When you say neighbor do you mean that he lives in the house next to you? If thats the case I don't think I would be able to pry myself away from his garage windows.
