Wow, quite the spot. Congratulations, you put actual work into spotting, and it shows. I wouldn't consider this as special as the Veyron spot, which was as candid as they get - on the road, driving, but it's still great.
As far as the sound goes, I have spent a good part of a day in the presence of several FXX Enzos, a good half-dozen Formula 1 races, as well as the chance to hear both Enzo and 2002 Ferrari F1 car pretty much back to back. Although the Enzo sounds ridiculously more "real" than any other street car I've ever heard, there is still a vast difference between full flight V10 race engine. There is no mistaking the difference between the two. They have very similar tone and travel through powerband in similar fashions, but the Enzo is less intense, less crazy, less explosive. F1 cars hurt your head at idle.
It doesn't take away at all from your spot though, which is very impressive. Last I heard, there were two in this city, so I hope I'm hot on your heels

Excellent spot my friend!
Seeing two on the floor at auto shows is one thing, but seeing it on the street is completely different. A very nice spot indeed!
I'm still not sure if I have seen the car to "make my day" or not yet... I'll think of it sometime. I think seeing two Carrera GTs next to each other in Miami has ruined me for life.
EDIT:
When they finally come out, or if I ever spot a prototype, my guess is that the Camaro will likely be the death of me. High hopes I have, indeed...

Great spot Doug, I could only hope to spot 1/2 the cars you've snapped.
I'm suprised it's taken you 3 years to spot an Enzo when you've probably "spotted" every other hypercar worth seeing.
I love the side on rolling shots, very nice style. The sort of pictures you'd see when you open up the pages of a Evo mag.

Good spot!
I remember seeing my first Sierra RS500 (no where near as cool as your spot) when I was about 7 years old and going mad over it, then realized the owner was in the car.
I think he was probably past the stage of being smug and was probably embarrassed about the excited kid who looked like he'd eaten too much sugar hopping around his car pointing!
I still do that now, to be honest.

Fantastic spot, Doug! I'm glad after all your hard pounding of the streets you managed to turn up the elusive negro Enzo!
Today I'll be in Buckhead around 2ish. I doubt I'll see anything worthy of posting, being it Wednesday and all. Plus, weather has been bad recently. Maybe I'll get lucky though. You seemed to be anyway. 👍

I don't think they would look good in high-res
I could only dream of ever seeing it.
