One of the worlds top sports car manufacturers is Ferrari, whose symbol of a black prancing horse on a yellow shield-shaped background is perhaps one of the most easily recognizable car logos in the world. Based in Maranello, Italy, this Italian sports car manufacturer is responsible for the existence of some of the most powerful and at the same time most elegant sports cars the world has ever seen.

Every single Ferrari ever manufactured, from the 250 GTO to the 206/246 Dino, is a feat of engineering and design. One such Ferrari is the Enzo Ferrari Supercar, which was named one of the top sports cars of the new millennium by Sports Car International magazine in 2004. Named in honor of Enzo Ferrari, who founded the company in 1929, the Enzo Ferrari supercar is indeed super in many respects.

Built in 2003, the Enzo Ferrari supercar was designed using Formula One technology. Its body is made of carbon-fiber, its brake discs are carbon-ceramic, and it has an F1-style sequential shift transmission. It has 6.0-liter, 660-horsepower V-12 engine, the first Ferrari motor to have continuously variable exhaust valve timing. The Enzo engine has four valves per cylinder and a variable-length induction system.

As befitting the supercar tag, the Enzo Ferrari boasts of extremely quick acceleration. The Enzo Ferrari is capable of reaching 62.5 mph in 3.30 seconds and can accelerate to 100 mph in 6.60 seconds. This particular breed of Ferrari can also complete the quarter mile from a stop in approximately 11.1 seconds at 133 mph. Its estimated top speed of 217 mph is further proof of its Formula 1 heritage. So unless youre an active driver in the Formula 1 circuit, theres no way you can hit the top speed on a regular road and get away with it.

So far, the Enzo has proven to be stable when cornering. Its powerful engine, however, sometimes makes the car a bit difficult to control. Fortunately, it has rack-and-pinion power steering, pushrod actuated coil-shock units, a four-wheel independent suspension stabilized by front and rear anti-roll bars, and four Bridgestone Scuderia tires, which have been designed and tuned specifically for the Enzo Ferrari supercar.

So far, Ferrari has only produced 400 of these supercars, and only a select few have managed to acquire one. As a matter of fact, just being able to afford its US$643,330 price tag is not enough to get your hands on one. Propsective owners still have to send applications to Ferrari for the privilege of purchasing one of these supercars.

A number of famous people are or have been proud owners of an Enzo Ferarri supercar, including Nicolas Cage, Eric Clapton, Tommy Hilfiger, Rod Stewart, and of course, Michael Schumacher, the man responsible for bringing virtually countless honor for the company as the most famous Formula 1 driver for Scuderia Ferrari, Ferraris racing division.

Ensuring That You Are Getting The Right Spring Break Package

There are few things in this world more rabid than the spring break salesman. These individuals taunt you with deals that seem wonderful on paper, and people who book with them often get less than what they expected. In this article, we'll talk about some of the tactics that salesman for spring break agencies often use to trick people into deals that are not as beneficial as they may seem.

Whenever you're looking over a spring break deal offered by a company, be sure to check into all the details - the low rates that they tend to offer on their advertisements usually result in room-sharing amongst you and your fellow breakers, causing cramped conditions that can really hamper a spring break experience. Also, be wary of any spring break travel agents who offer you an offer in which you have to act now' or lose the deal. This sales tactic is commonly employed to trick consumers into believing that they are getting the best possible thing for their money when it is often not the case.

If a representative for a spring break travel agency is offering you a deal that you would like to consider, there are a few steps that you can take to help ensure that the person you are dealing with is refutable and actually offering a sound deal. When they tell you of the accommodations associated with your package, give the hotel where you will be staying a call. Ask them about the tour package director and whether or not they are running a legitimate business. This can help you to weed out anybody who is trying to take your hard-earned money. It's also important to ask for cancellation policies and refund policies before signing any paperwork associated with a spring break package. While you may be sure that you're going on spring break, complications can arise that may cause you to cancel the trip, and many agencies stick you with a huge cancellation fee should you need to. One thing to look for when searching out a refutable travel agent is if the agent you are speaking with is a member of the American Society of Travel Agents. This group upholds rigorous standards regarding the practices of their members, and it gives you a good bit of relief to know that your agent is not simply a scamster out for your money. Follow these tips, and you're sure to pick a spring break opportunity that is right for you.
