Enzo is one of the few Ferraris I don't like so much in red. There was a gun metal grey one in Manchester the other day, it was a right beauty.

Hopefully it escaped the urine spray from the Rangers fans.  ;D

I own a Dealership and had a GT that I sold.  I've never driven an Enzo but had a few F430's so I would say the Enzo without a doubt since I would take a F430 over the GT...The GT has a stupid clutch that's a pain in the ass to drive.  I've been to Skip Barbers racing school so driver error isn't the issue, it's just a race design and not for daily driving.  An F1 wins all around for pleasure imo...

I'd take a ford GT over both those cars, and I'm a huge fan of all euro cars. Not only is the GT a MONSTER, it has a ton of charector. The GT and the ENZO are overpriced. I don't get a wow factor at all from the Porsche GT, and the Enzo is blah - (imo).

Yep, I have driven a lot of really fast cars, but the GT is a whole different type of fast. It's faster than most all supercars, it's ultra rare and it's only 150 grand.

Nice car, but it has twin turbos on it..... They ruff porsche and Hennassey vipers are amoung the fastest cars ever made. I think the viper has 1200 horse. This viper just rips through all the gears.

The thing about the Enzo, is that it looks llike a big anteater. It was designed (styled by a Japanese guy) and the back end doesn't look like it belongs to the front end. It looks best in black, where it has a preternatural look to it. Supposedly a way more visceral experience than the GT. The Gt is great, but they f-up on it. They (Ford) had finagled a way to get money so that it would be put in production as a 2005 model, but they settled on a supercharged truck engine, while they were doing that, a team was developing a V10. When the GT went in production, they should have had more development on the car, and stuck the V10 in it, but that 600+ HP engine went in the Shelby GR1 Concept car. Then Ford F-uped again by putting the same engine in the Shelby GT500. This took away the exclusivity of that 5.4 supercharged engine.

I also liked the Ford GT90 better than the GT, because t took the design to another level, whereas the GT, designed by Jay Mays, was just a remix of the old GT40.  That Being said, the GT looks best in all black, with black wheels.

I own a Dealership and had a GT that I sold.  I've never driven an Enzo but had a few F430's so I would say the Enzo without a doubt since I would take a F430 over the GT...The GT has a stupid clutch that's a pain in the ass to drive.  I've been to Skip Barbers racing school so driver error isn't the issue, it's just a race design and not for daily driving.  An F1 wins all around for pleasure imo...


Yeah, it's been said that the Carrera GT's clutch is one trick mofo. But there is this Youtube vid of this dude in Saudi Arabia who is racing a M5 and he is drifting all over the place  all over the place like it's video game...you can't do this in the States

The stock is a roadster, which also means it is heavier, they needed to do coupe versus coupe.

I posted the Viper with the turbos after you posted the twin turbo Lambo.... The Enzo the GT are naturally aspirated cars, and while the GT is supercharged the displacement is in the same ballpark as the other cars. Not to mention is has two less cylinders. Comparing a twin turbo V10 to any of those cars is pointless.


My point was that there are much faster twin turbo supercars than that Lambo. I just wanted to show you one that blew my mind. I think the Lambo is a crazy car, just saying.

My mistake. I meant the GT and the Enzo, while the Ford is supercharged it has roughly the same displacement to weight ratio as the cars in question.

You strap two turbos on a Murcialago v10 and where talking a whole different ballgame.

Gotcha...I agree though...there are plenty of cars that can hang or beat the murci that are out there with TT's....I can name at least one here in Vegas...and it's a Viper.  I'll look for a video of it...

Oh so you're only talking about N/A supercars?  I mean who really cares?  When you're talking about cars priced at $400,000-1,000,000, no one is going "well yours is faster but mine is naturally aspirated"  Its all about all out speed, no matter how you make it and looks.  I'm also not sure that those other twin turbo cars are faster than the lambo.  Do any of us know what the lambo runs?  All I know i that it pulled on a 1000 hp viper like it was standing still.
