But if I owned an Enzo, I'd be upset about people recording my S/N and putting my name on the internet.

Unfortuantely, this is why Ferrari can never build a true street legal race car, because people will miss the power windows

This one was red.
A Los Angeles County sheriff inspects the wreckage of a rare Ferrari Enzo that crashed on the Pacific Coast Highway Tuesday, Feb. 21, 2006, in Malibu, Calif. The red Ferrari, estimated to be worth more than $1 million, was going at least 100 mph when the driver lost control and struck a power pole, investigators said. Sheriff's investigators identified the owner as Stefan Ericksson, 44, of Bel Air, who escaped the wreck with only a cut lip. (AP Photo/Hanz Laetz)

And although people attribute it to weight it isn't, it is the shape of the door and windows that requires it. Motors are actually usually lighter than manual systems, a classic example is the Lotus Elise, the power windows weigh a few ounces less than the manual crank version.
The F40 was pretty close to a race car for the street, its windows were raised and lowered with a strap.

Funny thing is if he won't be able to get on any of the future Ferrari supercar lists since a little known fact for inclusion on the lists is you can not have crashed any of your previous Ferrari's, now I am not sure the exact criteria but I think this is exactly what Ferrari had in mind for nixing someone from the list.
This is another example of why Enzo insurance rates are roughly 25K a year, leading to many of them simply being used for display and investment.
