as most of u guys have seen the latest top gear laptime of 1.19:00
by the enzo ferrari makes me love it even more.

Suckers to all you who thought the carrrera gt could beat that time.

Funny how some Enzo lovers were writing off its chances before it had even done the lap. Calling it a shitty track and not genuine and such. Lets wait til Auto Motor get one for the Nurburgring, Porsche will have the last laugh.

its a very impresive time
but you have to take into acount that it uses the pussy flapy paddle gear box athought i still sure i would have beat the cgt's time i just like the porsche bettter

I thought it was already obvious: Enzo>CGT. :roll: Bang for buck, CGT>Enzo.

me and my friend had a discussion about this we came to the conclusion cars with a manual seem more proper but paddle shifts are more user friendly and its for the track! i mean think about it 360 CS is a track car as is the Enzo but the CGT is a pussy convertable

i must say im really amazed by the lap time... and judging by the enzos time i can say the cgt can be faster than it was.... i mean a gap of just .1 between the cgt and slr and the cgt proving to be much faster than it around a track. it makes me doubt if its really the best the cgt can do... not going under 1.19 but gettin more to the lower 19's i think is possible... yet the enzo rocks baby !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't understand why some people can't admit that the Enzo is faster than the Carrera GT, that doesn't mean that the Carrera GT is a bad car and remember the Enzo is more or less 25% more expensive.
I would choose the Carrera GT over a Enzo, even knowing that it's slightly slower.

This is just me, but I love the sound, looks and gearbox of a CGT. In fact, other than the frenetic handling charicteristic of the CGT (which is very similiar to early porsche 911's), I love every last little deatail of the CGT. The way the engine sits, the ride of the car, the pure joy I get just from looking at it.
I love the enzo.... I love the power, the agility and the seats (which are bounds above the CGT) The ride is good (for a super car), the styling, which I didnt like at first, has grown to become one of my favorite looking cars, mainly the back end. Everything is great!
But given the choice of only one.... even I have a hard time saying it. I really really really like the ferrari........ But I fell in love with the porsche. Its like the cute girl at starbucks vs the girl that took your breath away the first time you saw her. You can grow to love the the cutie, and she is probly a better girl friend. But I would never lust after Enzo with the same passion that I have for the porsche.

but Enzo look great in studio,i never like his design, but F40 and near Enzo, I change mine mind,
looks great round the testtrack, very fast,

numerouno · 11-02-2004, 09:32 AM

Glad to see that the mighty Enzo kept all the Tifosi proud as usual! 8)

noosee · 11-02-2004, 10:38 AM

Is far as I remember Stig was not able to drive CGT fast as it was tricky on the limit. No such thing was told about Enzo. And we all know that Enzo is faster on the straight and CGT in the corners & TG track doesn't have many corners

cooperluke · 11-02-2004, 11:03 AM

Quite amazed me....

But I think I'll wait to see on other tracks and hear the pros opinios before I take any type of judgement.

callen · 11-02-2004, 11:07 AM

No suprises here....That enzo did an absolutely FLYING lap! i was gettin chills watching it , specially thru the flat out corner, did u see the displaced air shake those tires??
