Are you sure???

"the MC12 is also 100 lb. lighter(3130lbs vs. 3230)"

PS....the Enzo has 20 hp more but it's all a wash given the heavier weight.

the article i read in autoweek stated the 3130 weight of the MC12 was about 100 more than the Enzo. after owners experiences with the stradale weight vs. ferrari's claims, maybe the enzo is heavier than they state.

also, i believe the article said yesterday the red line has been lowered on the MC12. this and the weight might be why it gets so smacked by the enzo.

They ran a car at Sebring this year - after significant dispute from Aston and Corvette teams as it was not originally going to run the series - it now will which will be great for some more diversity in ALMS and GT1. This and the Porsche prototype should liven things up ('though Penske really should have gone for LMP1!)

The Masser required some homologation because it didn't meet GT1 spec (it was too long for starters) It looked great but with a ballast penalty on board, didn't really stand a chance. Certainly sounded the business blasting down the pit straight under us!

This Sunday's race at RA should be interesting - anyone going?

NO WAY! The Enzo is so much hotter, and actually available to buy in the US.
