***BREAKING NEWS - official Enzo lap time @ Nordschleife***

[st-anger]

...read it first - here on JW 8)

...i can´t believe what i´ve just heared - in spring 2005, so not that far away, HvS from Sport Auto will get a Ferrari Enzo Ferrari for their Supertest, and from what i have heared they´ll get it directly from the factory :shock: - now i´d like to hear some confidential infos if anyone from the Ferrari freaks in here have heared anything about the rumours that Ferrari has been working on a special Nordschleife setup for the Enzo after they received MASSIVE complaints - of course everything in the background - why they don´t respond to the Carrera GT´s lap time and whenever a comparison took place on a track the GT´s been in front...

so we know that during industry pool sessions Ferrari sometimes rented a workshop inside the industrial park right next to the NS and they clocked quite some laps with an Enzo - there´s also a rumour that Ferrari now has a so called "full car" test rig from AVL where engineers can simulate all stored tracks on the car itself, i only know that VAG, BMW and Porsche have such a ( extremely sophisticated and expensive ) test rig...

...as HvS told some time ago... "Sport Auto is just a kinda small mag and basically consists and concentrates on only one thing - the Supertest - but the results of this test are known all over the world because NO other information source is providing onfidential and detailed infos about the hardest challenge for any sports car - a timed lap on the Nordschleife..."

...this says it all IMO - an outstanding lap time at NS is good for becomming a classic and reaching automotive heaven, let´s hope that Ferrari will continue this project for all their future cars, personally i´m definitely looking forward to an interesting challenge Ferrari vs Porsche ( and all the others ) at the Nordschleife and can´t wait for the SA Supertest in spring/summer 05...

YEAH BABY !!!! This is great news !!! finally we'll get the results...
excellent news st.anger, as always

so considering this equipment they have and the workshope they rented, u think it might beat the CGT ??

But of course, what don't ya hear on JW , indeed alot of people have been waiting for this should be very interesting indeed, i'd love to see an incar vid of this with the timer ticking down from the CGT time .... but the weight would slow it down i guess Thanks for the info, can't wait to see the result

BTW, not on the Top Gear track which is of course the recognised independant benchmark for all cars (and totally un biased too )

...i see...have heared though that those ppl on that site should be real asses - one´d have to do strage things to actually get that vids - wicked stuff... :roll:



naaaa, seriously - personally i don´t have that much respect for the TG lap times - but that´s just my opinion...

[stradale]

Oh man, that's very exciting! I hope Ferrari will indeed test the car at the NS and adjust the settings accordingly. Otherwise it's not really a fair comparison with the CGT, which has been tested and honed on the NS specifically.

Yep its just a bit of fun really (sorry for taking this off topic BTW LOL )

Whoa! Definitely heard it first on JW! 8)

Anyone want to start placing bets on the time...? So, are we to understand this car will have its own unique suspension set-up, just for the Nordschleife? Will that include special tires as well? Or did I completely misinterpret what you said st-anger?

[nejcdolinsek]

This is awesome news!!!!

Will you be scanning the article when it comes out st-anger???

:multi: nfire: :multi: nfire: :multi: nfire: :multi:

ohboyohboyohboyohboyohboyohboy!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to see what it turns in nfire: Somebody who lives near the NS, find out when this is to take place and set up on one of those ridges where all these M5/6 vids and such have come from and get some clips i'd be willing to bet :grab: (<-- it'll come out of nowhere and head back just as fast)

[|Nuno|]

HOLY SHIT!!! That's amazing news! Can't wait! :multi:

[sameerrao]

So when's the date of the test?
