  • Shell Helix 10W-60 synthetic oil..... $60/quart!!!!

    Was looking through the July 2003 issue of Car & Driver.... has the Ferrari Enzo on the cover. The Enzo 650HP/485lb-ft V12 comes with the Shell Helix 10W-60 synthetic from the factory. The Warranty requires that you use ONLY that oil, and is takes 12Qt for a change.... = $720 just for the oil. If you fail to use it, the warranty is void, and you would have to replace the engine at your own cost.... and that's ~$200,000.

    Also an interesting teaser on the Bugatti EB16.4 Veyron..... QUAD turbo-charged and intercooled DOHC 64-valve 8.0Liter W-16, 7-speed sequential manual tranny, 4-wheel drive, variable valve timing, direct injection, 987HP/922lb-ft.

    What's so amazing about $60 oil? It had better tap dance and open my beer for me.

      well, if you can afford a Enzo, I'm sure the oil won't be a problem. Geez 60 bucks! That's some serious oil my friend...

        For $60 a quart? For that much dough it should also cure the common cold.

          You forgot to mention that the Bugatti is supposed to sell for a cool million.
