What do you suggest we discuss about the enzo? None of us own one, and we have already worn out the topic of its greatness. Are you suggesting we delete this forum, or do you want more meaningless positive comments from people that have never driven the car?

The enzo is not really the winner of all time, but the enzo may be the fastest road/track car that is not very suitable for either the road or the track. For less money you can buy a dedicated track car that will preform better on the track, and my truck would be faster for daily driving becouse I can go over potholes and speed bumps at 65 mph without destroying my vehicle. There is a reason that so few of the rich people who coud easily afford enzos chose instead to drive $50,000 to $100,000 cars (or less)?

At the supercar level, it is no longer about numbers becouse the cars are not meant to be pratical. They are intended to be toys or show off material. So none of us know anything about the important factor, how the car feels to the driver. And many people who have driven it have preferred other cars or slightly older ferrari models.

Please read this thread http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...6&page=2&pp=15

They say the porsche is faster (on a specific track), better looking, better quality, more fun to drive, feels better etc.

I am not trying to say the enzo is slower. I am asking, why do you care so much and have such definite opionions about a vehicle you have never and will never drive? We have 5 people that think the enzo is the best and 5 that think the porsche is better (both groups use the same magizine as evidence ,which I have not read). Clearly the subjectivity of your assesments is lacking.

Re: Enzo vs. carrera gt on a track

First of all the enzo is 1 of the best track cars of all TIME. In a simple desciption.Second of all the enzo HAS adjustable shocks and springs.

The ENZO is a track car because it was designed to be as close to an F1 car as possible and where do F1 cars race?? The track they are the fastest machines around a track and anything engineered in copy or basis of an f1 car (ferrari ENZO) was obviously making it as a usable and complete track car as possible. Heres a tip its a track car it was meant to be a drivers car it was designed by MICHAEL SCHMACHER to meet his driving standards. Another thing that proves the enzo is an excellent track car is that M . Schumacher ran the SAME lap times WITH STABILITY CONTROL ON AS HE DID OFF!! That is all I really have to say about the enzo's supposed (not a track car performance)

0-200: 10,3 s 10,7 s
0-300: 26,1 s 34,2 s

Topspeed: 355 334
(it was a windy
day in Nardo)

Re: Enzo vs. carrera gt on a track

How about this they are all Fast and Bad ass cars. I like all of them and will respect them. Put it this way who really wants to go that fast if you had the car you wouldn't get it out of 3rd gear on the streets. All i am saying is they are all great cars.

Re: Enzo vs. carrera gt on a track

Lets get both Porsche and Ferrari to get race models out (which I think Ferrari is already doing and is a logical next step for Porsche) and see who wins in LeMans series!

I like the Porsche, but thats cuz' I'm German. Natural bias.

Re: Enzo vs. carrera gt on a track

Actually, these two cars (along with the Gallardo) have been tested against each other on German TV.

You can download the video here: http://racingflix.com/getvideo.asp?v=515&p=6

Unfortunately (for me anyway), the commentary is in German. I noticed that you said that you are German. If you know how to speak the language, perhaps you can decipher the final verdict for the rest of us.
