2003 Ferrari Enzo 6.0L V12 660 10.8 135 MT
1969 Chevrolet Corvette ZL1 427 V8 430 10.9 132 PM a car made 34 years ago with 4 less cylinders is only a tenth of a second slower than a half a million dollar ferarri enzo? 2002 Porsche 911 GT2 3.6L H6 T/C 456 11.9 120.6 CD 2001 Porsche 911 Turbo 3.6L H6 T/C 415 11.9 115.6 MT the GT2 is a twin turbo. why would you spend twice as much for the car when it is just as fast as the model below it? |

Re: North America's fastest production cars
There is no comparison between the Enzo and the 69 Vette. The vette was made to go in a straight line with no hope in the heavens if it had to turn at the end of the quarter mile going 130Mph. I give the Vette Full respect for how fast it is in a straight line, but will never ever be in direct comparison with the Enzo.

"2003 Ferrari Enzo 6.0L V12 660 10.8 135 MT
1969 Chevrolet Corvette ZL1 427 V8 430 10.9 132 PM a car made 34 years ago with 4 less cylinders is only a tenth of a second slower than a half a million dollar ferarri enzo?" The corvette was using slicks, and even though it has 4 less cylinders, it has more displacement.

I still give mad props to the Vette. Faster using 30 year old technology vs. some of the best now. I know it can't turn worth shit vs the Enzo but the car was made 30 years ago and back in it's day it wasn't the best handling car but it was far from the worse.

1968 Plymouth S/S Barracuda ** 426 Hemi V8 425 10.5 130 MCR
1968 Dodge S/S Hemi Dart ** 426 Hemi V8 425 10.5 129 MCR no one has mentioned anything about these two machines that happen to be faster than the enzo and the vette. no dlaming on the vette though because it really is amazing for a car that old to go so fast

both the gt2 and the turbo are twin turbo.
the regular turbo makes 415 or so hp. and has awd, and electronic controls. the gt2 is rwd, less electronic controls, and faster, with more hp. it's all about what you're looking for in the car. |

They were also quite expensive compared to other musclecars cars from back then...almost cost 5 times as much in some cases.

not in the least.
there's quite a few of those old cars that were rated low for insurance reasons. there were vettes rated at "400"hp, but put more than that to the wheels... closer to the tune of 500... the same was true for all of the muscle cars of the era... not uncommon, and still praticed today, like the japanese "280hp", which, on some cars, like skylines, is closer to 330whp, as proven with the skyline, and the new evo 8, which, dynoed, makes almost the crank HP at the wheels... |

Well the Dart is like having a Honda Civic with a 500+hp V8, with slicks maybe, but they fail to give you a lot of information. For one what size slicks? Probably damn big ones.

why would they give it slicks? i thought these were factory stock vehicles. and that just shows to show that ferarri is inefficient. 50% more cylinders, less displacement. Quote:
you are paying even more for even less. so you get less cornering capability and less electronic control and are the same speed in a straight line |
