hahahaha :D I don't know him too well, but I don't think that's the case. His dad used to be a bishop, IIRC.
How does one become a bishop and have kids?

LDS bishop ;)

Actually since regular actors get involved with drugs too it just seems like good business. Make money off the same person twice.

a lot of big screen actors actually go to his center.

so he gives rides to special needs kids in that machine? Good to know this beast won't be sitting in an air-conditioned, humidity-controlled garage all day.

BTW I'm a "special needs" kid...gotta need for speed!! :D Can I have a ride?

I'm not surprised. This thing isn't set up for drag racing, and ferrari's aren't exactly torque monsters. If you want torque, get a viper, or even an S7 if you want to be in the same price range. Personally i think the Enzo is fugly, but it must be nice to have such a machine :) At least when you're sitting in it you don't have to look at it ;)

It's been 30 years since the Daytona Spyder, and driving a front-engine V-12 roadster on Utah's great roads is as good as it gets for me.

One of my more passionate projects here in Utah is a country music radio dedication program where complimentary 24-karat gold-plated roses are hand-delivered to the recipients. A few years ago on a particularly freezing New Year's Eve and with the top off, I drove the Barchetta up to our front door and presented one such rose to my wife. Chivalry may be dead, but she loved it!


Damn...this dude is crazy. You have an awesoem cousin.

Why is everyone looking at the drag times... look at the car... look at that ugly nose... and the monstrous diffuser at the back... it was meant to go fast left and right... :p

It's not built to drag race. It's a high-speed touring/track car with a top speed of 218 mph -- edit: and a lateral skidpad of 1.01g :Q . And it did do 11.1 @ 133 mph -- that's not exactly shabby.

If you don't jump at this chance to drive his Enzo, I will personally come beat the crap out of you!

I doubt he'll let me drive it, but I'll at least get a chance to sit, and maybe ride in one :D

So I called him up, and sure enough, it was his :Q. Gonna go pay him and the salt flats a visit this weekend :D

Here's the article with his enzo


Other cars he owns:

THE Aston Martin DB5 from Goldfinger driving one (actually owned, sold it in '86 to a floridian, where it was stolen from his hangar in 1997)
Ferrari 288 GTO
1972 Lamborghini Miura SV
1973 Ferrari 365 Daytona Spyder (not his, but similar)

im sorry but Fedorov already has 2 enzos and crashed one already a couple months ago. That is not the first ENZO in US

He's owned it for a while. Maybe he was blowing it out of his ass, but it's what I was told.

Ultimately I am more impressed by his GTO than the Enzo - to me the 288GTO is the most desirable of the modern super-Ferraris. I have to admit, if he were my cousin, I would HAVE to pay him a (perhaps unwelcome) visit and gratuitously demand test drives.
