Yes definitely worth the download! Thanks Mopsdrops..

Thought that the Carlsson SL 55 RS would be faster than the "ordinary" SL 55. But apparently not.

Very much worth your while, I am kinda diapointed with the Enzo and its top speed though...I thougt it would be more like the Mclaren, Becuase they are always comparing them and everything :cry:

It would have been possible for ferrari to make the enzo go quicker than the McLaren - but they chose downforce and stability over absolute top speed. 219 mph is still pretty quick by anyone's standards..

The faster the ferrari goes, the more stable it becomes - compare this with the McLaren - Andy Wallace had to put corrective lock on at 230mph to keep it straight - just shows what a star the guy is - he kept his foot in and pushed on to 240mph. Balls of steel

The enzo will also be faster on a track (better brakes, better handling, that pesky down force issue again ) plus its clutch will probably last longer than 3k miles... :roll:

McLaren is a great car, don't get me wrong, just that its not all about headline grabbing top speeds any more.

Oh, and to put it in perspective the enzo will still annihilate a carrera gt, slr, bentley gt, murcielago etc as far as top speed is concerned.

Just downloaded the vid - nice..!

carlsson sl.. sounds like a jet fighter

IMO the times for the w12 and Le Mans don't really count as these are not yet production cars. Interesting the carlsson sl runs to exactly same top speed as an SLR, also the tech art porsche is faster than a carrera gt...

Great vid though - thanks.

Is this the Motorvision vid where the SL55 is compared to the Carlsson 55 RS or is it another one? The full Motorvision review is divided in two parts.

Sweet! I got a kick out of the SL55's graph which showed the torque going out of the range of the graph, awesome.
