    I was flippin through the channels tonight before I hit the hay .....and I stopped on MTV when I noticed a very familiar black car. The rapper Pharrel pulled up in front of the MTV building in downtown NYC in his black Enzo. Looked perfect as ever. The host asked him, what's the fastest you've gone in this car? His response was "150"...I was sadly disappointed :(
    I was surprised that MTV even acknowledged the Enzo....but I guess it has that affect on everyone!
    Just thought I'd share.

    I know everyone's already aware he has an Enzo...and this wasn't the music video.

    I don't know who the host was, seeing as how I don't watch much MTV....but the show was TRL and I think it may have been their host.

    150 isn't bad, especially if it was in a 65 ;)

    Yeah, just ask the guy in Europe how cool it is to go beyond the limit on a local road, you got a shovel?... stupid post. Now if he said he smoked his fellow rap/producer/music/record community notables on a local track in their rides, with a fun wager going to a charity, then that would merit some respect.

    What he said was, "It wouldn't really be responsible for me to say, but I've done at least 150". He said it was in Virginia, his home town. I bet he was being pretty conservative by saying 150.;)

    Ahhh when I was watching I didn't catch the "atleast".....all I cared about was the number :)
    At the time I found it hard to believe an Enzo owner had only done 150...But yes like you said, he was probably being conservative.

    After owning a Ferrari, I'll be the first to admit that going beyond the limit is always on your mind and itching your right foot. But common sense fortunately fights a little stronger. I questioned multiple times on Fchat: how do people feel there is anything to be gained to drive in a reckless manner on the same roads that soccer Mom's travel on? I have not seen the show, but I doubt he mentions how responsible he in the sense that speed can kill. His boast gives off a bad image, living life one quarter mile at a time, wow, he's a bad ass and let me see if I can get Mom and Dad's Caravan up to that speed think the 15 year olds watching. There are multiple Enzo owners on this site correct? I haven't done a search but when I come across their posts related to their supercars, it has not once mentioned their triple digit outings in their hometown streets...

    There have been a number of high profile Ferrari accidents in the past month. I think out of respect for one another the love for speed and pursuit of dangerous driving should definitely take a back seat. For those that argue this, well Im sure your 1:18 collection of cars looks like its in great shape and you can dream of the day you pass RocketBoy in your real car. Keep in mind, the man who made it all himself was so distraught over the passing of his drivers that he refrained from attending the pinnacle of speed, any Grand Prix, pretty much for the bulk of his most noted time in life and company. "Yeah, Luigi, 160 on your way to the factory? " Naw, even Enzo was too busy mourning and felt the manipulation of the business world a more entertaining pursuit, ( as quoted from the The Piranha Club. ) After watching a bunch of his drivers and car go, the rumors of Enzo buzzing the Maserati brothers factory in his car pretty much went the way of the dinosaur and the Macarena. What would he know anyway, his name was only Ferrari. Come on man, lets see what this TR can do!

    Get off your high horse.
    The stupid host asked the question and you could tell that he didn't even want to answer it.

    He obviously set it up with MTV because they announced that he would arrive in the same rare car that was featured in his new video and then they went down on the street and showed him arriving. After he got out of the car, his passenger got into the drivers seat and body guards surrounded the car on three sides. Then they did a short interview in front of the Enzo.

    The extra body guard were obviously because of Carbon. :D

    Hmmm... Any thoughts of attempting to jack the car after Pharrell exited were thoroughly thwarted... Back to the drawing board...
