one of the reasons ferrari has always been successful is their philosophy. enzo always built road cars to support the racing team...selling street cars was a necessary evil whereas many other companies (jaguar) race in hopes of improving their sales of street cars. this may not hold 100% true at ferrari today, but the company philosophy is still alive.
