Enzo Ferrari, worth the purchase ?

[ghd765]

If you have some money to spare, or are trying to collect all the cars, then I wouldn't hesitate.

However, I find the handling to be inferior to many other cheaper cars (e.g. Italia, MP4-12C, etc), stock it doesn't turn very well, and tuned it's even worse.

If you reckon you will be able to set up the car well, then its probably worth a punt. But if you haven't got many supercars, I would buy them first, as most premium ones are better, and often only 25% of the price.

I like the Enzo. I think it drives fine and I have no problem with the brakes.

The cost in credits is the equivalent of winning a Seasonal 3 times, or about 15-20 minutes, so go for it.

 

[iirai]

Yes!

 

[jaycee_xr3]

In the current climate were you can win loads of credits in seasonalls I would say all cars are worth buying at the moment and definately the enzo.

👍 I has purchased lots of cars because this... In fact yesterday I grind like a maniac to has many millions when the UCD updates tomorrow just in case it still feature crazy-cheap prices for unique fast cars

On topic: The Enzo is bad braking. Very bad.

 

[uncle_hayley_j]

It's a good car, look at the lap times you come out with, adapt to the braking, you won't be disappointed.

Enzo Ferrari worth it?? OF COURSE

 

[uncle_hayley_j]

Enzo is quicker than my 458 Italia round Sarthe by 4 seconds with my driving, so seems decent

👍:tup:You guys, the Enzo is incredible actually. I drove around the nurburgring GP/D track with all the aids off apart from abs which I set to 1. Only the brakes fell a bit meh but everything else is fantastic and spot on. Especially that sheer power from that 6.0L V12. BTW I keep all my cars in stock, tuning them up ruins them IMO. And the Enzo @ stock is awesome.

I would buy it. In my opinion it is not such a bad car to drive like many people say, it is quite underrated.

 

[MM1000]

I heard that many people say in these Forums that Enzo Ferrari isn't really that good and that it's only good at straights. Is this true, what do you guys/gals think, is the Enzo Ferrari worth the purchase?

It is a difficult car to master. I agree with those who had trouble slowing it down. If you can set it up well, it's extremely fast, but you have to know the track and plan your braking points and turns. If you're the kind of driver who does that, you will have faster times with the Enzo than with comparable cars.

The problem is that people often buy the Enzo, and slam into the wall behind the first turn they tried to drive it hard through. It's so quick, and they didn't estimate how fast they were going until it was too late.

Compared to the other Ferraris, it's just not as user friendly, so they reject it and move on. And hell, it's not like the 458 is slow anyway.

Anyway, if I were married to a billionaire and wanted to murder them, I'd buy them an Enzo with old tires.

 

[zippy_the_cat]

I'll amend my earlier "brick" comment to say the car doesn't want to turn on Sports tires; it's fast on the straights but loses all it gains there in the turns. It's much better on RHs, but that's where the brake issue others mention comes to the fore. The brake points from speed -- e.g. in on Indy Road in the new Ferrari seasonal -- come much earlier than they do with the 430, 599 or 458. On Indy, using a 599 tuned for the 690hp Time Trial 15, I drop anchor for Turn 1 at the signal head that juts out from the wall just before the 150 board. With an Enzo, that's way too late. Once you get it slowed down it handles OK enough, again assuming the use of slicks. The brake issue is perplexing because one would assume Ferrari would have equipped its flagship car with binders matching its top-end speed. My Indy Road Turn 1 brake point for the F2007, by contrast, is the 100 board and I'm probably being a bit of a wimp in hitting the pedal that early. Have to think PD got the Enzo's brake modeling wrong.

 

[onewayroll]

I have spent almost 2 days trying to sort out the suspension, major under-steer at first but it's well worth it if you know how to tune.

 

[McZachenF1138]

It's not that the Enzo has loads of understeer, it's that for whatever reason you can't turn very sharp with it. I bet the steering wheel moves less than 45 degrees in both directions.

 

[stormbringer]

buy it. you can earn the money back grinding 2 races in the new seasonals.

its a good car, has its own personality. wont beat the scuderia or italia (unless youre on sarthe) but its a joy to drive because it has soul and it takes some finesse to drive her. The enzo should be more nimble around the corners. With a stripped down weight of just 1044kg and the ferrari heritage, it shouldve atleast been competitive with the mclaren F1.

I think PD messed up a little with the enzo here. The lack of downforce is also appalling.

 

[stig's helmet]

I actually think it's better than the Mclaren F1, more stable (not by lots) but enough to notice.

 

[red ice]

I'd rather buy another Ferrari car as I have already gotten used to the Enzo in GTPSP. But still its a good car in the line-up

I would like it to be as good, but imo, it isnt. The Mclaren is just amazing for a road car. Much more nimble and responsive.

Let's agree to disagree

[Exorcet]

It's a car worth having. It drives fine, straight line or corners, no need to modify it. I see some people complaining about the brakes, but really, all the cars in GT brake the same. The Enzo is just a little faster than average so it seems to brake worse.

 

[JohnBM01]

I bought one specifically to challenge the new La Festa Cavallino(?) Seasonal Events after I finished 4th in the Rome Circuit round. I even intend on buying a Ferrari F40 in case the Enzo ends up being a fail. I've never really liked the Enzo anyways, so I'm about to find out if this car is any good besides my kiosk demo experience with the Enzo.

 

[JDM_Import]

For the new seasonal event is is worth the buy, it pays itself off in 2 races of La Sarthe in the new seasnonal event.
I got a 3:19:004 lap time.

 

[XDesperado67]

I just bought mine for the new seasonal. My recommendation is after modifying it fully take it straight to the Toscana track. The first time you come down the start/finish straight and launch that million credit gem into the air at 200mph you'll know it was worth it.

Note: You'll need to install the wing from GT Auto for another 50,000 credits and have it set to 25 for maximum lift off of the car.

 

[FilletOfSpam]

I have one and and while a handful I've won a lot of races with it but I notice my step-son couldn't even keep it on the road. The Ferrari California on the other hand isn't as fast but drives so nice.
I've won more races with Audi R8's than any other car. Even though it doesn't tune to as many PP as the other R8's the Le Mans Quattro seems to be the best but every R8 in the game seems to be pretty good. Not too expensive, fast, and easy to drive. I'd choose the Lambo Gallardo as your first supercar though. It is a great car and you will need one anyway for the Gallardo Trophy and you won't win one anywhere unless you luck into a random one with a level 12 gift car ticket.
You can get the Enzo later when you have more money.

 

[sesselpupser]

Get one, paint it Mod Blue, Bianco Avus or WB Nero Daytona and just stare at it if nothing else. Personally I love that it drives like a dog (it's the exact opposite of a Q-car/sleeper), but that does mean I never try to win races with it.

 

[XDesperado67]

I bought mine in the Rubino Micalizzato color, put the GT Auto wing in body color on it along with a set of Rays GT racing wheels. I then used my gold Chrome paint chip to paint the wheels...its a total work of art. Like neema says just look at it its so beautiful...and I'm not a Ferrari fanboy!

 

[ZR1fan]

I have three, (two stock, one fully tuned, i buy my stock modern Ferraris in matching sets, so i have two Scuderias, two Enzos, two F430s, two 458 Italias, two 599s and two Californias, the older set is in Rosso Scuderia, the new cars are Gialio Modena, and with this new seasonal event i will grind up the cash for set #3 in Rosso Corsa, the standalone tuned Enzo is Matte Black).. I must say, the Enzos are fine on Sport Softs, like my two stockers, they just need careful smooth hands, stock Enzos do not tolerate hacks, rough inputs, or over driving, but if the car has a confident driver on the right track, it will behave.. Enzos are happiest on tracks where they can run, as in run at high speeds with not many tight bends, tracks like Monza, the two speedways, and High Speed Ring for example, you take one on Trial Mountain it will hate you for all eternity until you get it off the track, heck ive outrun my Enzo time on Trial Mountain with a 2006 Z06, a car that is not even one tenth the price.

 

[brennonyo]

Yeh bro its an awesome looking and peforming car.

 

[Machate-man]

The understeer is meant to save you from wacky oversteer usually prevalent in MR cars, unless you like oversteer. The enzos understeer is easily cured by light braking, and if that doesn't work, then try something else. The understeer is what makes the Enzo so stable:tup:

 

[goant12]

It looks cool to have but deff not worth the money trust me
