I HATE how not ONE mention of the F50 or Enzo, which, although have a slightly different "take" on the ultimate sports car, are nontheless equal if not greater.
Personally, i think journalists are afraid to compare the GT and Enzo directly and with the MErc present, for one, I think no british journalist wants the Merc to be displaced, and also, the Enzo and Gt are both perfect, yet with different attitudes to achieve it.

It so amazing that McLaren's performance has been on top for 10 years. Of course, I am sure both Enzo and CGT will out handle the Mclaren.

Superb article. I was chewing my nails to see if the F1's long-lived crown would be snatched by the CGT? Relief that the F1 won. It was, is and will be a Supercar icon that will last through the ages.... I am rushing out to look for the Evo in the stands

On supercar terms the F1 may not be beat for a very long time, but having to replace the clutch every 3000 miles means that one cannot even compete in a Gumball or Players Run without replacing the clutch, seems pretty stupid to me, but I am sure that you could get a racing clutch as people drive just about 3000 miles in the Lemans 24 hour race, don't they? Great article, I would probably still buy the F1 if I had the cash available.

I'm glad they didn't really try to do an out-and-out best sports car ever thing with this...it's a sort of friendly comparison with a relatively unbiased point of view, but tinged with a bit of nostalgia. Well written and an excellent conclusion. Vive le F1!!
