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.

What's your point? Do you have a vette or just post on here all the time? Sounds like you need to buy an "Enzo", better bring your wallet for that transaction. You are comparing 2 cars in totally different price classes. Maybe get a 9 second Accord, that should be a real classy ride.

And I know you post a lot of helpful info on here for others but you post here really ticked me off. Ferrari's are cool but this is a 'vette crowd.

But they will never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever look as cool shooting down the strip as anyone in a Corvette does.

I very seriously doubt you will ever see an Enzo on any kind of street doing any kind of racing. I will probably never even see one anywhere. And I'm not sure where you can do 186 mph...no where around here for sure. Wow.

I don't get it, how are you comparing an Enzo Ferrari to a corvette? The Enzo is a million plus car And trust me their owners won't be racing them on any streets or track.
