why do you think the ferrari will be a better track car??

GT2 for me

Although I'm a big 911 fan the Scuderia is......irresistible. Overall it feels more special than the GT2, it's lighter and more technical too. To be honest I prefer a GT3 RS over both but in this comparison the F430 wins. The Scuderia is simply more racey/F1-ish than the GT2.

About 200lbs lighter and a faster transmission.

The biggest turn-off for me is the colour of that Ferrari. I hate that colour. It's so insipid. Seen the yellow one in EVO 111 - I got mine in the mail last night. What an issue!

Here, this should help with the color thing

so....the enzo was lighter than the cgt, had a faster transmission and had more power but still couldn't beat it on a track.

I do not know of any direct comparison between the two around a race track. And I could be wrong again, but I don't think there was a 200lbs weight difference between the Enzo and CGT.

Edit: I guess Evo did compare the 2 and CGT was about a sec or so faster - may be different drivers, different conditions or may be the CGT is a bit faster.

In the Top gear test (with the same driver I guess), Enzo was faster.

Evo times:
1:19.70 - Porsche Carrera GT
1:20.20 - Porsche Carrera GT (2nd attempt)
1:21.30 - Ferrari Enzo

TG times
Ferrari Enzo.............................................. ...................1.19.0
Porsche Carrera GT................................................ .......1.19.8

okay fine but on all tests shown the cgt has been said to have better and more responsive handling. I do think that the scuderia and gt2 will be quite evenly matched on a track.

Oh my goodness... Sunny, that F430 Scuderia is just the bomb! Love it. Thanks.

Yes that color is fantastic!
The only design niggle I have with the F430 Scuderia is it`s tail pipe arrangement. It looks rather goofy compared to the normal version.
