One of 400 Enzo's Made Totaled!

The car belonged to the producer(or director) of the film. They spend 20 or 30 million, promoting most films...they spent about 1.2 million to push this one...and very successfully at that. Enzos don't push! Period. That was no mistake or accident, just brilliant advertising. Insurance will cover the loss and Gibby's (an aquaintance) just went up to 1.3. Wayne

So you're saying they planned this? I wouldn't doubt it, but that would be hard to prove, not to mention probably illegal (insurance fraud?). Eddie Griffin does make a nearly perfect scapegoat, doesn't he?

If you watch the footage carefully you will see the front wheels at full lock. once you pass the point of slip angle, then brake hard enough to lock the tires the only way to turn again is to release the brake and straighten the wheel enough to regain grip.

A common beginners error on sticky tires.

This is obviously fake. Kit car for sure. Advertisement for the movie. That is not Ferrari Red on the car.

Yeah, it was planned... watch the slip angle. It's induced, not natural. Brilliant! Did you see the Enzo, the Knucklehead, in So. Cal. blasted into two pieces?? He walked away. Ahhh....good times, good times.

If I spend $1,000,000+ on a car, it had better f***ing go where I point it. Understeer on an '88 Fiero in 6" of snow? OK. Trying like hell (and failing) to slow & turn a million dollar Ferrari flagship with "sticky tires"? B.S.

Oh, it will if you know how to drive it! I think what Hotsauce is describing could occur with any automobile, sticky tires or not, but it's 100 times less forgiving when you've got 660 HP under the hood.

It's sort of like a beginner motorcycle operator hopping on a 5000cc bike and hoping to survive the trip.

Good point... better have the know-how to push any high performance vehicle.
