since when is a mercedes even a supercar, let alone to be ranked with the enzo and carerra GT? sorry, but merc doesn't know how to build a proper handling street car since they can't seem to keep the weight under 2 tons, Come back once the SLR's proven itself.

FYI the SLR was said to hold its own against the Carrera GT when both cars were testing on the Nurburgring. No mean feat, im sure you’ll agree. Yes, it is substantially heavier but with its electric gizmos the SLR is obviously still mega-fast. It’s a different means to an end but people have subtle differences in what they’re looking for in a hypercar, and so might be attracted to the ownership proposition of an SLR over that of an Enzo. These three cars can easily be compared. Come back once you’ve lost the attitude.

I fell in love when I saw the Carrera GT for the first time...I was like...wow...V10 and 2800 lbs...amazing

The Enzo is just ugly to me and the SLR is automatic (right?)...so the choice is easy

True. The Carrera GT won my heart over in a flash, something the Enzo hasnt done. Even under the skin, if you've seen the pics, the Carrera GT's chassis looks out of this world. I never thought i could think that about any car

Enzo= I'll take it Simply a more "exotic-erotic" experience than the other two

Plenty of things have been *Said*, it doesnt mean that anythings going to go the way they talked. Electronic gizmos can make up for hundreds of lbs of static weight and god knows how much extra inertia? I never nkew that star treks inertial dampeners were real. . .

I'll take the carerra, Porsche can actually build a reliable supercar and I'd rather not break down every few days.

As can Ferrari- especially in thier 1990+ models- after Enzo (Who only gave a shit about Ferrari's Racing division) was out of the way

Hint clearly not taken. I also didn’t think I’d have to explain the merits of traction control to someone who purportedly knows something about cars. Your Star Trek comment is lost on me, I was never sad enough to be a trekkie.
