Which car do you think will win in a race a Ferrari Enzo or a Porsche Carrera Gt(IM NOT SURE HOW TO SPELL IT)?

I think the carrera gt because ferrari is fast, and i do like it but its not as reliable and will break after going over 140 mph(in my opinion) what do you think?|||Both cars are derived from race cars and would be capable of pretty amazing levels of performance... and as to reliability issues, I would not expect any with the Ferrari (if you follow racing, Ferrari have proved to be among the most reliable cars for quite some time).





Top speed would be mostly a meaningless number in such a contest as there are only a small number of road courses in the world where either of these cars would be able to reach top speed, so cornering and exit speed and braking would be the keys.





The Carrera GT ran an amazing 7:28 at Nurburgring... something that cannot be compared to the Enzo though as Ferrari have never run the car there. This alone suggests they may not want a direct comparision with the Carrera GT.





However, on the Top Gear test track the Enzo managed a little better time than the CGT... however, the time is well close enough that enviromental differences could easily account for the differences in lap time.





Ultimately, I'd expect any contest to be very close... but I think the Ferrari would most likely have an edge in most circumstances as the base technologies used in the Enzo are much closer to their race versions (and thus a little less usable as a street car) while the Carrera GT is actually based on the unused Le Mans prototype design from Porsche, but it is completely adapted to the street. Very similar cars, yet completely different.|||The Enzo has a higher top speed by 5mph.


But the acceleration for the Carrera GT should be a bit faster.





In a race, the Carrera GT looks like the better handling car and it is also more comfortable and reliable than a Ferrari.


The Porsche has much more advanced technology and it is lighter, so it should win. It really depends on the driver.|||The enzo is basically a race car with a license plate. It will not break unless your an idiot like some people and wrap it around a pole. The enzo would kill the carrera.|||What the heck. The enzo will win, and it wont fall apart. You dont pay a million dollars for a car thats going to fall apart|||In a straight line or on a course?





I suspect the Enzo would win based on the suspension since I would rate the engines fairly close.
