thanx for the article

interesting article.. the straight line speed is .3 slower then enzo from 0-124mph,, and they relaly couldnt test out the handling because there were corners avaliable

good read, thanks Jabba!! and for the handling it would suck if the GT's cornerin isnt great

Odd I was under the impression the Enzo had done a 9.1 or 9.2 or was that just to 120?

And what did he mean about the tires. The Enzo has its own special tires so I see no reason for Ferrari to put other ones on for testing. I also find it odd that no one else has ever mentioned different tires before during their tests.

Awesome car and I can see why he said what he did about the speed of the car. It is proven that a car that sounds faster will seem faster to a driver. If it sounds as awesome he claims I could understand why he thought it was fast. Jeremy also seems to be particulary susceptible to this as he did the same thing with the Koenigsegg.

Thanks for the scan,Jabba.This is some great read.

Thx very much for the nice scans jabba!!! Will certainly read this article.

Clarksons opponion about Porsches has changed quite significantly the last few years, I'm curious what he'll say about this one!

Man, I can't wait for my issue of Autocar with the Carrera GT test!!! Unfortunately it's 55 miles away at home, and I don't have a car!!!

Thanks Jabba!This is very interesting...wondering how cool can be the challenge between this one and the Enzo

Vansquish · 10-06-2003, 04:38 PM

On outright performance, I have no doubts that the Enzo would be the El Primo vehicle. However, on everyday useability, and diversity of talent, I think the Carrera GT would probably win...but I still can't wait to see the two of them lined up next to each other hehehe.

The one thing I don't like about the Carrea is the rear wing. It stands straight up and looks akward in my opinion. It is an awesome car. I wish I win the lotto like 3 times soon.

Cool Article !!!! Thanks Jabba. Most of al i liked the beginning "With two TV programes in the final stage of production .....and a new series of Top Gear just days away....."

Thanks for the scan. The GT is beautiful!...It's looks are seductive to me. Two questions, the wing does adjust right, and are the brake disks carbon fibre, like the Enzo, or just the clutch?

Truly, the successor to the 959 has finally arrived and the Enzo Ferrari should look not in the rear view mirror, but rather the driver’s side window. CAR magazine has the GT as its cover story in the November issue, and I have to wait until mid October for it to arrive at the local Borders here in Seattle. Thanks Jabba for the scans.

DeMoN · 10-13-2003, 02:34 PM

GREAT scans THANX a lot jabba

Yes, the Enzo has own special tires, but rumors say that aren't good enough, there are some problems, so semms Pirelli was asked to make brand new tires for the Enzo.
Those Bridgestones....
