I think the Enzo aerodynamic is more advanced, front and rear spoilers adapt the downforce settings depending on how fast are you. If I'm not wrong at 200kmh there are more than 300kgs of downforce, and in a road car is very very much.

The McLaren F1 is faster only in straight line. Enzo,Carrera Gt, F50 and even the old F40 handles WAY better, like Wallace and Alan Jones said. The F50 was faster around Estoril compared to the F1. It's too narrow, too soft, simply doesn't handles like those other supercars. It's still an amazing supercar, but not as fast around a track like the Enzo and the CGT.

Hi again,

You say:

I agree with you 100% on the above

- but my point is that the CGT has a setup more optimized for the track -
compared to the Enzo. The Enzo gearing and aerodynamics gives a
topspeed of 350 Km/h - this does not favour lateral grip through
slow/medium corners (compared to the CGT)

But time will show if this is just theories - or if the real life data confirms
our different hypothesis
