Unhappy Enzo beats the CGT around the Top Gear track

Sadly, the Enzo took the top score by a little less than a second

I am sure if Xico's car was on, he would have shown the Enzo who is boss!!

That's quite a smack down though it is in conflct with Auto Sport's track test. Hopefully the video will surface soon.

but seriously, how much can those Top Gear times be trusted? They are all on different conditions/days/etc. I mean they tested the 997s in the wet and then posted up its time. Still they run a good show ... like how Clarkson claimed the ENZO was stone cold as it is primarily driven by people who need to stand very very close to the urinal LOL

Well, when tested on the day by Auto Sport, the CGT beat the Enzo by more than a second on a sub 60 second track.

It depends how the car is set up. Excellence mag said that GMG's 700+ hp GT2 is "Carrera GT killing, Enzo flaying stuff..."
