My point is that as long a the minimum spec's are followed in terms of maintenance, most cars will be just fine for a good long time.
Regarding the Enzo, they recommend a specific synthetic oil, so do many many other cars and thus, those requirements of course need to be followed.

Watch for a possible class action re: Chrysler 2.7 sludge build up from cooked oil in too small internal oil passages, synthetic does'nt cook without a blow torch. I agree, most situations non synthetic is ok , most of us know someone with 200K+ on thier car on regular oil. I use synthetic for that extra margin, is it absolutely necessary- no, neither was it absolutely necessary for me to get the Hemi, the 3.5 would have been adequate just as regular oil is adequate. For most enthusiasts, adequate is simply not good enough.
