If I had the kind of money to drop on one, you can be damn sure that I'd rent out the nearest track and go have a ball. If you can afford to buy one, you can afford to fix it too.

Street fighting isn't really a level playing field, just look at the cost differential. Compare similarly prepared versions and Corvette beats Ferrari and Porsche, and BMW and Audi and Ford GT regularly on the Road Course tracks...thus the 2017 IMSA GTLM champions.

Enzo?????
I wish mine could blow whatever that is out the vents in my custom hood. (which I do not have). It is a powerful, Fast, good looking Vette. Not a Ferrari or Bugatti. But why put it down? If I had a F16 I could embarrass all of you! LOL. But not really a fair comparison.

To me, a bad *** vet is one that will hold it own against a Enzo in a high speed corner at 175mph, or on a high speed road course over-all for even a few laps instead. Hell, it can't even hold it own against a R8 to start with.
Hence even a T1 vet will be lapped by a Enzo in short order. At 186 mph, the Enzo is producing 1700lbs of down force, while at the same speeds, most vets have seriousness lift instead.
So lets face it, any ricer can build a car for half the cost of a vet, that will do a 9 second 1/4 mile too.
So since a vet it a road course sports car, not a muscle car, it's real bench mark challenges are up against other road course sports cars, not muscle cars that do straight line racing much better instead.

It's definitely a badass car, but they used very poor judgment when filming the "burnout" in heavy traffic, and blowing past a bunch of cars in the right lane. That's a good way to wreck your badass car, and injure someone else in the process. They should have done their filming somewhere on a deserted stretch of road. Just my opinion and YMMV.
