How would a C6Z do against a Turbo S from a 60-160 punch?..

Mods..this was a run for a charity event sponsored by a local Ferrari dealership in which the cops shut down a long road by our beaches. We eventually caught up to some other cars but I assue you this wasn't illegal in anyway. No need to remove the link. Thank you!
you can go to www.ferrarili.com for proof of the above.

Once both cars are in 5th gear it may be a different story. The turbo doesn't die..at all..in 5th gear like our cars do.

When you start the car the dash looks like an arcade game and it's pretty cool. It's neat to watch and would urge start/restarts for that reason alone.

Yes, C6Z launches harder, but Turbo with AWD is EASIER to launch hard.

I had my c6 z51 on the track at a Porsche Club DE at motor sports ranch in Texas. I expected to out run the boxters, but i was able to out accelerate a 966 turbo. i was in the green run group, and MAYBE the guy in the 966 turbo was not accelerating as quickly as he could. but i would be about 30 feet behind him and the start of the straight, and by the time we got to the end of the straight i was on his tail.
I let an instructor take my car out in the blue run group and he passed EVERYONE
I can only image what the z06 is like to drive

C6 Z51 will not pull a 996 Turbo, Turbo S or GT2.

You can drive the C6Z and leave it overnight in a hotel parking lot. If you leave the Enzo in a hotel parking lot it most likely will be gone.

Most of the 430's, a lot of the 360's and more and more cars are going to paddle shifters.
And I will take my chances with it being gone in the morning...that's absurd.

and I bet the chances of having Vette stolen are higher than Enzo. 
What the hell are you gonna do with a stolen Enzo?
Sell it? LOL
Joy ride it? ROFLMAO 
The only way Enzo will get stolen if it’s getting exported somewhere into Middle East, etc.
Still I bet it would be so easy to track (1 of 399 EVER MADE
)

But you got to drive an Enzo?
