...sentra, when it comes out of the factory itīll definitely be a so called "factory prepared" car - well of course i bet Ferrari wonīt comment on that, better said theyīll say itīs a std. car :wink: - but who cares, as mentioned by stradale itīs just good for a fair comparison...
donīt know what exactely theyīll change - of course - but a NS suspension setup is definitely the key to probably beat the GT...

nejcdolinsek, of course iīll scan it for u guys - right now iīm scanning/editing the CLK DTM article :wink:

ZfrkS62, will see what i can do - of course it wonīt be as easy to find out like when itīd be a Porsche but letīs wait and see... :)

sameerrao, lol, ask HvS and iīm sure not even he knows - again Ferrari promised that SA will get an Enzo - well, now i think itīs up to Ferrari to keep their promise and deliver one - whenever itīll be... :D

dammit..i'm just as excited for this as i was waiting for GT4 to come out :D

nice, im guessing the enzo will be faster - question is by how much?

mv 02-25-2005 02:20 PM

Reading the title of the topic I really got excited :o ... But then it was a cold shower to get to know it's that far. I predict the CGT's time will be beaten as it reportedly wasn't the best Walter could do.

Hmmm..... personally, I think its gonna be very hard for the Enzo to beat the CGT, because Porsche developed the GT at the 'ring... Ferrari just doesnt have the experience to setup the car properly IMO...

But it will be close!!!

dropot2 02-25-2005 05:21 PM

I haven't heard anything abouth that but...I've been waiting for this for a long time!!! :D

cgt still going to be faster
simply because it is running a higher downforce setup

No. The Enzo has more downforce than the Carrera GT.

If it will be faster or not, I don't know.

True. The Enzo generates almost 800 kg( :shock: ) of downforce at 300km/h...

or more realistically 300 @ 124mph ;)

335, to be more specific. :P [/picky]

wow, this is gonna be awesome. cant wait to see video.

robruf 02-25-2005 08:55 PM

I believe that this is the best news that I have heard all year so far, cannot wait for the day that this happens, it is going to be exciting for sure. I guess that Ferrari is going to have do something great for the Enzo to beat the Carrera GT at the N-Ring

Ferrari tells us that at 124 mph, the Enzo can generate 758 lb. of downforce. The aerodynamic load tops out at 1709 lb. at 185 mph, then decreases to 1290 lb. for less drag so the car can reach its maximum estimated speed of 218 mph.
From R&T: http://www.roadandtrack.com/article....&page_number=1

1709 lb = 775 kg...... I rest my case :wink:

Even with more downforce, this is going to be a fantastic test. I think Ferrari are definitely within their right to set the car up for NS, especially with slightly softer springs I would imagine. Porsche always hone their cars on the NS and so would naturally be the favourite, but the Enzo's speed and downforce will provide a great test!
