[-Akshay-]

& im clueless

thx :D

[Max Power]

some Ferrari, F50, how many Enzo's have crashed?

[RC45]

How many Enzos have been smashed to bits?

Enough to leave only 316 left?

[ZfrkS62]

i believe we are left at 397 on the Enzo front.

I don't suppose the 288GTO is the answer?

[Max Power]

simple arithmetic and....399-316=83
:roll:

[RC45]

simple arithmetic and....399-316=83
:roll:

Yes simple math - but of no use to man or beast if there have not been 83 documented Enzo losses.. :P

[dingo]

I don't suppose the 288GTO is the answer?

There were never that many (316) GTO's made in the first place, I think it was only 272 :wink:

simple arithmetic and....399-316=83
:roll:

doesn't answer the question though does it. :?

[Max Power]

but of no use to man or beast

even beast, that's a shocker

[RC45]

They don't make too many EB110's or Jag XJ220's either?

Of course it could be the 2001 Speedway WHite/Mod REd interior Z06 - the rarest of all Z06's.

Which if I am not mistaken only has 316ish examples. :P

[EDIT} my bad, thats 352 TOTAL Speedway whites - only 137 modred interiors. ;)

I was never big on production numbers :bah:

[-Akshay-]

what about saleen s7?

[RC45]

Nah - Saleen numbers are only about 75 to 100 I think.

Could be the BMW M1 - including all the race cars only about 450 were made.

Possibly 316 road going M1's?

[dingo]

They don't make too many EB110's or Jag XJ220's either?



They made 95 EB110 GT's and 31 EB110 SS's so that rules them out. :?

As for the XJ220 I have a feeling about 350 of those were made so that could be a possibility. :wink:

[RC45]

Hmmm - what about the F50 - only 349 were produced, and it is safe to assume a bunch have been smashed to bits by now.

I mean it has been 10 years already. :P

[ZfrkS62]

how many McLarenF1's were built?

that's my last guess :|

[RC45]

how many McLarenF1's were built?

that's my last guess :|
64 road going cars.

[DeMoN]

When will she tell u the answer?

[ZfrkS62]

how many McLarenF1's were built?

that's my last guess :|

64 road going cars.

D'OH!

Just in case you wondered.. hehe

[gigdy]

how many model t's are left? how about hemi cudas? its a pretty useless clue im sure there are lots of cars that only have about 316 left.

[RC45]

Unless it's a BMW 316 he is after... :P

hahahahha LMAO
that was the first thing i got in my google search

my guess isnt quite it... but somewhat close...
According to the Shelby-American Automobile Club, there were 356 production 427s built

i wonder how many are left...

[dingo]

the guy probably made it up to lead us on a wild goose chase. :P

[-Akshay-]

CGT?

this question turned ot to be extremely hard
wow

[RC45]

CGT?

this question turned ot to be extremely hard
wow

With production rumoured at 2 to 4 cars a day, I woudl guess there are more than 316 Carrera GT's out there.

St Anger?

[dingo]

I think its alot more, somewhere around 1500. :wink:

[T-Bird]

how many S7's are out there?

even if that was true today, tomarrow it wouldnt be... i think this limits us to cars whose' production has ended

think of all the manufacturer's who've gone the way of DMC...

[RC45]

About 100 I would guess - they were supposed to do 25 per year - starting in 2001.

[-Akshay-]

he gave me another hint



the company that made it.. did a research and they found out that there was a market for 350 cars. so they made 349.

You couldn't even think of buying it unless you owned 2 other cars from that company


when the car was ready.. the president/CEO of the company gave a speech where he said "...everything we learned about racing for the past 50 years, we have applied in this vehicle.."

[RC45]

Ferrari F50?

Didn't someone say this earlier?

[-Akshay-]

he gave another hint
& now im completely lost

thinkin abt koenigsegg, but it already has ABS right?



when you bought the car.. you got a pkg with it.. hotel stay/food/etc

you were flown to the country where it was made and it was hand assembled infront of you in 2 weeks.. you could go see how they were sewing your seats..

the employees worked at relaxed hours so they made sure everything was perfect..

you could even have a movie made about it.. in the end, you took pictures with everyone who worked on the car.. got a gold plated certificate with your name on it.. then you spent an extra week learning how to control the beast!

the car has NO ABS/power steering/radio/AC/power windows...

it has no chassis.. everything is attached to the engine!

the company wants you to take the car and drive it hard.. as hard as you can!

[RC45]

This sounds like it is a misrepresentation of either Pagani Zonder or Ferrari purchase but full of urban legend.

Shelby series 1?

[-Akshay-]

hey what about that
Ariel or sumthin
they showed it on top gear

thats one fast thing
could that be?

[-Akshay-]

This sounds like it is a misrepresentation of either Pagani Zonder or Ferrari purchase but full of urban legend.

Shelby series 1?

i thought zonda had ABS system in it

[RC45]

Well he seems to have mixed up all sorts of bits of urban legend about different auto makers:

The "Personal Movie" of the Shelby Series 1, the "must own 2 previous new cars" from Ferrari - the hand made attention to detail of Pagani etc etc.

I say he is full of shit.

[ZfrkS62]

i'm going to go with RC on this one. that description just sounds like one giant pile of crap. Smack your friend a couple f times for sending you on this wild goose chase :?

[-Akshay-]

yup he said it its ferrari f50
finally

it doesnt have ABS?
wow didnt knew that

[RC45]

yup he said it its ferrari f50
finally

it doesnt have ABS?
wow didnt knew that

Well - he cocked up the entire story.

Tell him to stop reading all those "urban legend" web sites... :P

And we said F50 way early on in the story - Max Power said so in the second post.

Where is he getting the info about only 316 F50's left? A chassis list would be good to have. :)

[gottacatchup]

I'm willing to bet all this is on old and outdated information

I remember hearing that to be able to purchase an Enzo you had to have owned 2 other ferraris

And if i remember correctly 399 was not the original production number for the Enzo and that ferrari decided to build additional models after hearing the reaction from potential buyers.

[RC45]

Oh - and the car does have a chassis - he is confusing the fact that the engine was a load bearing component of the entire structure. Your buddy needs to take a class in reading comprehension - he misrepresented just about every fact except the "demand - 350 so we will build 349" - which is such common knowledge... even my 7 year old knows this fact.

[-Akshay-]

haha
thanx RC
im gonna smack him

u r the saviour :D

yeah kinda funny i bet your daughter gets it from you! yeah the V12 is bolted directly to the bulkhead so it becomes an intrical part of the chassis and the rear suspension mounted to the gearbox. it would have helped if he gave some better clues.
