not sure if i've heard of any unstable Ferraris due to lack of rear wing latley. The Enzo seems to perform adequatly without one. The cause of a car going 'airbourne' is usually due to lack of downforce at the front.... (like them Le Mans Porsches of a few years ago)....

i've heard of 3 Enzo going airbourne, occuring from travelling at high speeds , hitting a big bump. car becomes unstable and under car aerodynamic fails and car takes off , now not 20 feet off the air
