Enzo dethrones McLaren in R&T! - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Tech · 06-03-2003, 07:05 PM

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.

I think Car and Driver also confirmed that. I knew the McLaren would eventually fall, but I didn't think it would be to a Ferrari. Actually, I was expecting something like the new Bugatti, the Koenigsegg, or the Saleen S7 (which actually does beat the McLaren in 0-60 and top speed).

I'll wait for more magazines ... and it'd be more realistic to do side-by-side comparisons.

What about 0-120, breaking times.

And there is one thing the Enzo will not have (yet, or at all?) - actual race experience. The McLaren F1 has won LeMans and other races. The Enzo (at the moment at least) is unlikely to be raced.

I still reckon that the McLaren is the ultimate GT car - drive across a continent to a circuit, race it around for a while, drive back home.

but what not a better tribute to Enzo himself...in true Ferrari fashion, it's an amazing machine...

I will take one of each.

I really like the fact that the Enzo that they used was a privately owned car! They showed pictures of the lucky owner and everything, he even went on the entire trip with the editors. Now that would be cool.

hehe, but how many years maclaren held this throne ;] Imo enough. The time had to come eventually, but let's wait till they make a new generation of their baby, and then we'll have to wait another 4-5 years till someone makes a car capable of beating it.

Mclaren F1: Design started in 1980's. Sold in 1994.

Ferrari Enzo: Design started in 1998. Sold in 2003.

Way to go. Caught up in just under a decade. Let's all clap for Ferrari.

PS: Totally subjective, MF1 looks better than Enzo after all these years. Peter Stevens whoa what a job.
