it has nothing to do with one's understanding of cars, its all about bragging rights. If some punk kid beats you in his supra and talks @#$%, all you have to do now is buy this kit and show him up.

Rich people do crazy things. I know if I had an enzo I would buy this kit too...just cause I could

Rich people might do crazy things, but I doubt they are as childish as you suggest. Do you really think that an Enzo owner is worried one bit what some kid in a souped up Supra does, thinks or says? Street racing, especially at the speeds you suggest, can not be condoned in any way, shape or form.

Would you turbocharge a Ferrari 250 GTO? I can think of many, many cars that can outrun that. That would be a very humiliating experience, don't you think?

It doesn't really matter if you lose in an Enzo Ferrari to a Toyota kid, you have a Prancing Horse badge on your car while his car will forever be a Toyota. Prestige my friend, prestige. Not stupidly high horsepower figures.

this statement is culturally too advanced to be understood by people who think in terms of "bragging" rights

That's why Maserati is better than Ferrari. Usually they aren't involved in such "bragging" rights things...

Heffner's Performance, Lingenfelter, Hennessey etc... look em up

Turbo-ing already fast and exotics cars has been around for awhile now, and many many wealthy people have modified their exotics. So why not do an Enzo now. Sure its fast and sure the driver shouldnt care about toyota's beating it on high speed pulls, but now he isn't optionless. This turbo WILL
be bought, regardless of how insane it may be

All I'm saying is this kit can provide an enzo owner with even more thrills. Dangerous and insane it may be, but somebody will try it. There are more people out there modifying already "perfect" cars than you think

there are enough Americans who also do not think in these terms. You might probably more willing to accept some explanation from them then from a suspect European....

I prefer seeing a P4/5 than a stupid turbo charged enzo smoking the tyres off

A women who plays lovely piano is much much more attractive than one with huge boobs running around the beach. It might not make sense in your country.

Standing next to modified Enzo (P4/5) mesmerized by the beauty and passion put into the construction, and the heritage that binds with it, is much much more satisfying than slapping two turbos on another modified enzo, smoking tyres like there's no tomorrow.

Oh ya, here goes my analogy with the pics attached. Oh sorry to say, Aus is always a smaller America.

On a separate note, cars with 6 - 7 liters of displacement ... and the volume of exhaust gas they emit per combustion ... are there any reason that turbo chargers would have any lag? I mean we all know superchargers draws power from the crankshaft, and for cars like these (enzo) wouldn't it make more sense to install turbo chargers instead of superchargers?

no doubt i'd have a P4/5 over a turbo'd rice enzo.

are you on the junk???Why are you sorry, whats wrong with being a smaller US. And considering pamy has Hep C she's simply not an option, but you must have some sort of warped perception comparing a black and white picture of some seventies pianst to a goddamn playboy model. but your right, it doesnt make sense in my country
