Yes, very sad. Moreover they made an ad to find an Enzo owner some month ago but it seems they didn't find one. 
But there is already a video of this event in JW, thanks to AlienDB7, Draak and Zippo

Well, the Mosler and Superformance Coupe are somewhat stock. The first two years, they had a separate section for the stock cars. Last year, they ran a stock Commemorative Edition Z06 just for fun, against the 4-cylinder tuner cars. If they ran some stock cars this year, it may show up in next month's issue. But if not, that's a damn shame, considering the current crop of awesome supercars (Carrera GT, Ford GT, Zonda, SLR, 360CS/Enzo, Gallardo/Murcielago, etc).

Its weird to me to see two 800hp Vipers be so off in there respective performance...I think the 800hp for the Hennessey is to the wheels and the 800hp for the RSI is to the crank...Thats the only way the numbers make sence...I didnt hear anything about the RSI breaking or not running good...Plus 143 sounds like around 800hp to the wheels.
Anyway the Viper is faaast...6.5 to 100mph..A bit off the Mclaren F1's 6.3 and barely better than the Enzo's. Of course higher up it would kill both...I read it actually did a 10 sec 1/4 on street tires :shock: ...Heres a link to the numbers for all the cars....

pfffffffffffff.THese are not supercars. These are superposercars. Except for the Mosler.......
Since when sticking a turbo/supercharger on a random car makes it a supercar. Tiff was so right when he said "The word supercar is being thrown around too much these days"(paraphrased).

They are supercars in the own way. The are tuned supercars how about that. But when you get a car for less (sometimes) and faster i don't care if its called Yugo.

I dunno i'd say being able to spin the tires past 100 mph is pretty super allthough highly excessive

So in stock form a Viper is not a Supercar??Its an exotic but not a Supercar? I cant see being able to do 11.7 @ 123mph and pulling 1.05 g's and hitting 190+mph and stopping from 70mph in an Enzo beating time not being a supercar....Its hand built, rare, very fast etc. It will go toe to toe with any exotic lower than the hyperexotics. Hell it even beat Murcilago on a track. If thats not a supercar I dont know what is.... Obviously with 800hp its just screeming supercar But from the factory its a bonafide supercar in my eyes regardless if its American or not...
