I have a couple of friends who have run the Targa. Here is a direct quote from one of them: "It was the most dangerous thing I've ever done in my life."

When you enter an event like this, you are already mentally prepared to total the car. You don't run it in a car you aren't prepared to walk away from.

He's awfully calm for just tossing a Ferrari Enzo into a lake.

He actually tossed it into the Atlantic. Agreed good attitude, though.

I was talking to someone at work today and apparently there was a guy (probably the one on camera) that owns an exotic car dealership in Alberta that brought these cars in for targa as well as a few drivers. So he probably has a lot of money kicking about and got a deal on it anyway.

Thats the guy, Zahir Rana, He owns ZR auto in Calgary. They are an exotic car dealership. There is alot of oil money in Calgary, so there is a pretty good market for exotic cars. He organized an event at an airforce base where you could run your car flat out on the runway, He even raced that enzo against a CF-18.

probably not his personal car (bill). as long as it doesnt come out of hip paycheck, why not be cool about it......

That Enzo is his personal car. He brought it into his dealership probably 5 years ago and tried to re-sell it. As I remember he wanted over a million for it at the time and there were no takers so he decided to keep it for himself. Sound like he sent the car to germany to have the Edo XX conversion done it.

That's Zahir of ZR Auto in Calgary. His company is pretty well known around here for the cars they keep around, his Edo Evo Enzo is ridiculous. Some people like him, some don't, but regardless of your opinion you've gotta respect the fact that he made all of his money himself rags to riches style.

Well when you have enough money for a car like that, getting it stripped down and rebuilt is not really a problem.

Just shows the level that he's operating at.

Most of us would be sick to ball-up a $5k E30.

He thinks nothing of $1+ million

Quote of the video, "It's just a car".

I just saw more pics on facebook posted by a local photographer that is also into tracking/auto-x/stage rally.

Apparently he was in the class that races the track without times but also without limits (except for relative safety). Car was customized to be a road going FXX.
