It will never have the track potential the enzo has. It might have the accel and the topspeed but the enzo will still top that toy anyday. over 20 years of F1 experience have been put into the enzo. Jus dosent happen.

I wouldn't make a blanket statement like that before I had seen it run at the track. That thing looks like a real performer and it costs (retail) a whole lot more than an Enzo (I think). Should be a good one, but its still a chrysler so I won't be buying one

it looks awfully a lot like the enzo. how much is it? v12? can we get some stats in here? I clicked on the link, but refuses to connect.

I has to, I think that the squashed look is probably the most aerodynamic

850 hp quad-turbo V12 ME Four-Twelve 6.0L amg built v12.

ME412
V12 Quad Turbo 850HP/850 Torque
0-60mph: 2.9 seconds
0-100mph: 6.2 seconds
1/4 mile: 10.6@136mph

and a quoted top speed of 248mph

Sounds like a straight line rocket to me. But the question is can it handle? Cause otherwise, I can get better quarter mile times by spending a lot less. Not necessarily safe or reliable or consistent, but 10.6s is hardly legendary. The only thing you'd be paying for is the top speed then and what's the point? How often can you fly yourself and your car down to Nardo to achieve that kind of speed?

So you've driven them both then?

[jcsaleen]

key word quoted you know how many times car have been quoted or est. Top speed. I cant even name them all but I do kno 1 ex and that the bugatti veyron est top speed was 353 was it no its around 230-225. The only car verifyed at topspeed is the Mclaren F1 and the Enzo with 228 standing as its new record.

Track record counts as I c it. Dc is good but not that good.

You guys are all right! It has an American badge on the front. There's no WAY it can handle!

I'd take it over the Enzo, just my opinion. The Enzo is a great car of course, but, it's just not my thing.

Haha thats my point.

[Moppie]

How many American made chassis are used in F1?
Infact, how many American made chassis are used in IRL? Most of the teams use European designed and built chassis.

There is a good reason why alot of people make gross generalisations about American cars and thier lack of handling, its because as a generalisation its relativly accurate.

However any car with over 800hp and super car looks should have some pretty advanced suspension technology underneath it.
And at the speeds its and the Enzo are capable of reaching any differnce in handling ablity because some what meaningless, as only a very small number of very talanted race drivers will ever be able to get the cars close enough to the limit to truely explore it.

I'd imagine that mercedes had their hands in most of the deisgn of that car.
