Well, essentially he'a a guy with a hard work ethic, which a lot of people do have...yes. He went to business school...food is his passion (he's italian), and he basically started his own food company and made it into something really large and successful. Some people are blessed w/certain intangible traits, and he happens to have a shrewd, aggressive business sense honed at a good business school.

He's my inspiration for why I will force all my children to go to business school...and fore go the focus on athletics.

Wow!

Every time someone posts pics of CGT's, I get flashbacks to the time I was fortunate enough to have a friend give me a ride for a few miles. The car is absolutely amazing! Maybe some day I'll have enough courage to drive the thing.

Thanks for sharing the pics!

Here's a quick snippet of one blasting down the front straight at Tremblant. Crappy video, but the sound is what matters:

When my BIL took me for a ride in it in last year while in Florida....he was squealing tires at 60 and 70 mph getting the thing sideways and all. I thought that was the ultimate experience until he took me for a ride in the Enzo. I don't know what impressed me more about the enzo..the acceleration or the ability to stop that thing on a dime.

The GT was more of a rush in the sense of driving it like a true sportscar. The enzo has so much traction control in it, you could feel it grabbing everytime he punched it. And w/the paddles...everytime i looked over at him it looked like he was playing a video game. He's been getting some good seat time with it and told me he understands the car better now. Maybe he's practicing w/out the traction control...would be interesting to see what it would drive like then.

He says his F40 has more raw power than either of those cars (and w/no traction control)...but i've never ridden in it.

didn't get over there this weekend. They are in Florida for the 3 day weekend, and I was up at lake winnipesaukee. I'll try to get some soon before he starts shipping them to Florida.

Good question, i never asked him. For the love of God, I hope it's the enzo considering how much it cost him!

Then take the enzo and play with it for a few months and when you're done with it, sell it. Then, with the large ransom you collect, you can buy yourself 5 CGTs.

in all honesty, unless you've ridden in the enzo you can't describe it. My money would be on your to keep it. If for no other reason, your bedroom door would be a turnstile of beautiful women who would love to show you their appreciation.

Here are more pics of his garage. The F40 is still getting its engine rebuilt and he sold the F430 scuderia (he didn't like it). Rest of the cars are in Florida.
