Yeah, I suscribe to the magazine. His car has been in the magazine 3 x now. They did a piece with the enzo slr and carrera gt together this month. They also had the initial test of the enzo. I'm glad to see at least 1 owner uses the car like he should.

Sitting on the fence is always easier then picking a winner.
For those that didn't get the magazine. They described the cars as having different purposes.. and said they couldn't be compared. Such a large copout if you ask me.

More likely the cops would let him off theyd be in such awe of the car.

I saw footage of the lucky cops who get to drive the Polezi Gallardo today...all the passing kids go nuts......Wow I wonder how that works for the cops.....I would take it out the first chance I had and max the speedo out.....just to get that out of the way. That way the desire to do this on a daily bases would be reduced.

Cool so maybe the factory rating is a bit under-hyped.....haha...even at that speed he was still chasing Lonman.....what a nutter Lonman is

I read that article when Road & Track arrived at my house...hoping they would pick a winner, but I could tell after I'd read about 3 sentences they were just going to go on about how great the cars were but not pick a winner. They couldn't even have subjective sidebars written by the editors on which was their favorite...talk about lack of journalistic integrity :roll:. Nice pics though.

i too was disappointed witht he SRL, CGT, Enzo comparison, but it was as i expected. R+T seems to have a pg, sometimes pg-13 rating; and great photos.
as far as domestic, i must say i like Automobile the best, closely followed by motor trend.
one of the local owners of an Enzo cant drive it during the hockey season, and keeps it on display at the local dealership for gawkers to be awestruck by. he is shy, but a very nice guy.... im also glad he didnt c hange his residence because of the team trade. i think he has fewer then 3000 miles on it unfortunately

I wish I had that kind of money to drive a car like that as my daily driver. I like that he does that and doesnt pack it away in the garage for all but 2 days a year.
