to be honest, i didn't think that the Enzo was going to have the balls, but have you guys read the July Road & Track? they have the Enzo beating out the "king" McLaren F1 in 0-60 (3.3), 1/4 mile (11.1), skidpad (1.01g) AND slalom (73.0)



that is just insane, excuse me while i go change my pants.

Yeah the only thing the Rx7 comes close to on either of those cars is the skidpad https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png

I wouldn't get upset. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png It took ten years and a million dollar car to top the skidpad by 0.02. Skidpad is the same as the Z06 and Viper.



All of those test numbers mean **** ALL for those 2 cars. They are meant for high speed on a real race track. 0-60, quarter mile, 200 ft skidpad, 600 ft slalom? Apply these to a road course. They never go SLOW enough for the skidpad to mean anything, they never have to swerve back and forth 4-5 times in that tight of situation either. 0-60? ONCE, at the start line IF they have a standing start. Numbers for the second half of the quarter would reflect acceleration out of a corner, I guess.



They need to get on a track and compare instantaneous G on high speed corners. Acceleration from 60 to 150 mph. Real data that would reflect the purpose of these cars.



Put some R-compounds on a Mini Cooper S and it throws out slalom and skidpad numbers like that. And those cars came with rubber not far short of R-compound.



BTW The Mclaren is FAR sexier than the Enzo. F50 is better looking than both. Pagani Zonda C12 is where I would spend my money if I won a big lottery.

id still buy an f40, its super cool



mike

well, how long did it take ferrari to reach the same level as the mc laren f1? plus the 3.4 0-60 that the mclaren had are for the US legal mclaren.......they turn in 3.2 when they come out of the factory

rx7 can bang with those cars in braking also......... they just forgot to mention it and fuel economy also....hehe

i don't mean breaking parts...... those exotics are pretty reliable i heard...hehe.

But i think the car that will top the enzo is the veyron. costing $1,100,000 at 1001 hp, that **** better be on top.

i drove a F40 once. when i was detailing it was bad ass. i took it out for a lil spin. that bitch is bad. Twin Turbo's hell yea. that bitch pulled hard as ****. i did not like the seats. very uncomffy. lol
