Unit - What blower do the GT's have on them from the factory and how much power are they putting to the wheels stock?

Why am I the only person that doesnt like that car . . . .I think its fugly 
You could have an SS, a WS6 , A C5 , a C6 and a couple sweet Vipers for what that thing costs. Or a pimping house and a couple moded vipers
I even like the new Ford GT 10 000 X better for looks.

I would get a Saleen S7 and then get 25 F-bodies. Or perhaps 2x GT40's....
No car is worth that much money to me, especially since they are going for over a million since they are no longer made.

i personally would rather own this than that overpriced Fiat
http://www.spectrum5racing.com/news.htm
i believe it was up for sale a while ago for like $165k
i could be just me, but there is something about 900-1300 hp twin turbo SBC in a car that can handle like a McLaren F1
then with the rest of the money i'd build one wicked *** 60's 1 ton chevy truck with 38's, solid axles, and a full tilt duramax diesel, more acres of land than i can count in northern WI/ da UP of MI to build a rally track on, a squardron of subaru's to pound the ever livin' **** outta, and a box of twinkies

I personally dont think the Enzo is overpriced either. By the time everyone on here is finished building their "Enzo destroying ZO6" you would have just about spent the same amount of money....and probably still fall short of some of the car's capabilities. You might be able to make a ZO6 go as fast as an Enzo, but would it feel planted as if on rails, like the Enzo is at that speed? I dont see too many F1 gearbox's in ZO6's either, not to mention all the other technological wizardry that is going on inside that car. Take a look at an Enzo's dash and everything inside it the next time you are at an exclusive car show. It is as close to F1 as possible right now, probably only to be trumped by Ferrari again in another 8 years.
Besides, what would you rather be rolling in? A 600,000 dollar ZO6, that looks like every other car and no one knows about it's capabilities? or A Ferrari Enzo, that commands respect no matter what circle, or group of people you are around. And everyone WILL know how fast it is. If I drove one of those, I'd only laugh at the guy next to me who spent hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to make his car keep up with mine, and in the end he still drives ZO6.

I don't think it would take hundred of thousands of dollars to make a Z06 run 9's consistently and reliably.....
Or to do better at any race track....
And an Enzo is not 600,000 dollars. They are no longer built and used they are being solded for well over 1 million used. Are you saying it would take 950,000 dollars to make a Z06 faster than an Enzo, or even 50,000 dollars....
Hell, Harlen's car traps 20 mph faster and was not even close to being that much money.
Just look at the C5R.
You are correct about the respect thing though.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I honestly don't think it would be possible to build a car to match the Enzo in every single way. Sure you can build something to outrun it in the quarter, but will it still have the stable 200+mph top speed and still be able to run like crazy on an auto-x course? Anyone who wouldn't take an Enzo over any other car has to be crazy.

)Or, if u want to go extreme, u can have the Y2K Jet bike that smoked the rear tire at 180mph during testing. That's about 150k, but remember, it's a helicopter turbine powered motorcycle.
And, maybe even that Tomahawk v-10 bike, if anyone ever got the ***** at dodge to put it through it's paces.
And Supreme vehicle wise, i want to see a McLaren with a supercharger. It's sad that it took Bugatti a W-16 and 4-Turbos to beat the N/A V-12 of the Mclaren....
I also agree, the Enzo can be beat but....it's an Enzo...it doens't matter what you drive, if someone pulls up your going to do the following:
Because it's a mechanic marvel, and the god of all go karts.If not then your an idiot and don't deserve to drive anything outside of a tricycle with dog-

Unit - What blower do the GT's have on them from the factory and how much power are they putting to the wheels stock?
