So in you professional opinion and from what you have heard what do you think an Enzo might do.

Say if Walter Rohrl put as much time into it as teh CGT.
a very, very good question...
believe me, when we are talking about the CGT at work, and there`re really some ppl around who nearly know everything about cars, we always talk about that topic as well but it`s such a hard guess...
we definitely know that the Enzo is a marvelous car, and really, really fast, BUT it`s nearly impossible to think of an exact lap time...
Ferrari won`t show up at the `Ring, i think it`s up to a private owner to lend his Enzo to a decent test crew, e.g. the guys from "Sport Auto" which is simply the best car mag available. as i said before, there has been a test drive of Porsche engineers around Leipzig test track, and also WR tested the Enzo, but both sources came to the conclusion that the CGT should be faster, IMO the Enzo should be slightely slower or equally fast than the CGT, but 7:40 (SA time by Horst v. Saurma ) with 92kg fuel, a co-driver on board at 4°C and damp track with TC on is unbelieveable fast, everybody who knows the NS´ll be impressed by that time, and under that conditions the Enzo won`t be a competitor, that`s for sure...
under perfect conditions i estimate a lap time of 7:22-7:25 for the CGT with std. ( not sport ) tyres, IMO a factory prepared Enzo can clock a +/- 7:30....
the 01/04 issue features the "SA supertest" of the 360CS, so we`ll see...
