The Miami Herald has an interesting look at the ultra-elite world of Ferrari FXX ownership. “There’s absolutely nothing street-legal about the FXX,” says Michael Fux who owns one of the $1.8 million cars. That’s a lot of money for a track-only car, though it’s anyone guess how strictly such rules are enforced. “Once the FXX is legally in the U.S., it’s up to state and local law enforcement to ensure the vehicle is driven only on a racetrack,” says Dave Ryan, spokesman for the EPA’s enforcement division. As for who’s doing the driving, “we don’t reveal names,” says M. Toscan Bennett, public relations director of Ferrari North America. Of course, keeping the FXX on a track wouldn’t be such a bad idea. “One hundred and sixty miles per hour is slow in this car,” says Fux.

With that kind of dough, I’d rather buy a plane, boat or helicopter… or maybe even a few homes.

It wouldn’t take much to federalize the FXX because it is essentially the Enzo. And then you have the baddest and meanest Enzo on the street.

Since most police forces in the U.S. dont have anything capable of catching a 200+MPH car, exactly how would they keep one off thier streets? They would never catch up to the car, so the owner could drive it wherever he wanted!
