I personally think the Enzo would be faster in Spa, since it's a fast track with a lot of fast long corners. In my opinion, the Enzo is more suited for a track like that. Also to have a good topspeed at the straight of Kemmel, you have to go as fast (and smooth) as possible through Eau Rouge. A huge amount of downforce is very welcome here. Doesn't the Enzo create a little bit more downforce at high speeds as the CGT? Take them both to the Nordschleife and the CGT would beat the Enzo.

I don't think the Enzo has a little more downforce than the CGT... it has shitloads more! The Enzo creates over 750 kg of downforce at 300km/h.

And yes, Spa would definetely suit the Enzo better than the CGT

oh it would defenetley suit the Enzo more in my oppinion,

2nd) i cant stand all this nurburgring this nurburgirn that crap, the track is sooo long that u cant compare lap times cause there so much room for error/improvements from corner to corner and straight to straight and i would never look at a nurburgring lap unless the guy did like at least 10 flying laps around there in a row and knew the car really well and was a super driver

and 3rd) no u could be wrong about the Enzo being the F60 i think 2007 marks 60 years of Ferrari and rumours are that F60 might be out in 2008

That was the best top gear episode I've seen in a while. I actually found myself breathless when watching this. I really wasn't breathing at a time . It was that good. Thumbs up.

yes ive never had the hairs stand up and that tingling feeling as much as i did on this episode of top gear especially when he was describing how the Enzo was the new benchmark and comparing it with things like david - Schumi etc, and same with the Enzo lap time, i was getting nervous and then when he said 1 19 flat i was punching the air and going crazy as if Schumi just made a crazy pass on someone for the lead on the last lap lol

That is eerily similar to my experience. I actually did a toned down version when I first found out about the Enzo being tested.

u know what im really disapointed and surprised they didnt give us lap times of xj220, F40, Mac F1 etc either obviosuly they would be slower but were all really curious to what they get
