We shouldn't mention Koenigsegg just because its slower then an Enzo?
Sorry, I sort of ignored the main topic, but not really. I was simply replying to the post about Ferrari needing to use tuners to compete. The CC8S is the car most often mentioned as the one that destroys everything. The estimates are high, but not the tests.
And yes, in spirit the CGT is the closest thing to the Mclaren F1. However for raw all out performance and speed the Enzo is the only car that can come close. The Enzo is quicker than the CGT in a straightline and there is not one test that indicates otherwise.
Autocar recently did a 0-100-0 test. The CGT did it in an excellent 11.6 seconds. That is only .1 seconds off the Mclaren F1 LMs best time. The Enzo did it in 10.98
seconds and was still .3 seconds slower to 100mph than normally tested.
In every test the Enzo has been put up against the CGT is is hailed as a better performer. Still the CGT has won 2 out 3 verdicts. The other magazines called it too close to call. However, they all agreed in the end the Enzo was still the performer out of the bunch though the CGT wasn't exactly far off.
The Enzo reaches 300kph almost 4 seconds before the CGT. The only car to better it? The F1.
Yes, I admit a Ferrari is not the end all and be all of cars, but at the same time there are people who take every new supercar as the Ferrari beater.
