What is the Nurburgring record for Enzo?
Hey dudes
Recently read that Porsche Carrera GT has set a new production car record in Nurburgring, at 7min 32.44sec Does anyone know Enzo's time?
I really doubt that the Carrera could beat Enzo

I dont think it takes a genius to figure out that CGT will lap there faster. It was build for around that track

When AMS tested the SLR, Enzo, CGT, Murcielago, AM GT, etc. around Nardo, they also reported road course times around a track that was nearby. As I remember it, the CGT came out ahead, by approx. 1s over the Enzo. I believe the Murcielago came in 3rd, only 0.5-1s slower than the Enzo. The CGT smoked the cars in braking from high speeds as well.
Steve Sutcliffe at Autocar has also stated that the CGT would be faster around a road course. The Enzo fast in a straight line though...

I think Enzo's the current slalom record holder of production cars add that to its superior straight line performance => So strange that it was beaten by the CGT (Well maybe the CGT was tuned on the 'Ring but, how about Nardo?)

I've read a few times, that the Carrera GT is just a bit faster on track.
Better downforce.

that is a big difference! the CGT would be lighter too which would also work towards its advantage
