I think the carrera gt because ferrari is fast, and i do like it but its not as reliable and will break after going over 140 mph(in my opinion) what do you think?
The enzo is basically a race car with a license plate. It will not break unless your an idiot like some people and wrap it around a pole. The enzo would kill the carrera.
The Enzo has a higher top speed by 5mph.
But the acceleration for the Carrera GT should be a bit faster.
In a race, the Carrera GT looks like the better handling car and it is also more comfortable and reliable than a Ferrari.
The Porsche has much more advanced technology and it is lighter, so it should win. It really depends on the driver.
Both cars are derived from race cars and would be capable of pretty amazing levels of performance… and as to reliability issues, I would not expect any with the Ferrari (if you follow racing, Ferrari have proved to be among the most reliable cars for quite some time).
Top speed would be mostly a meaningless number in such a contest as there are only a small number of road courses in the world where either of these cars would be able to reach top speed, so cornering and exit speed and braking would be the keys.
The Carrera GT ran an amazing 7:28 at Nurburgring… something that cannot be compared to the Enzo though as Ferrari have never run the car there. This alone suggests they may not want a direct comparision with the Carrera GT.
However, on the Top Gear test track the Enzo managed a little better time than the CGT… however, the time is well close enough that enviromental differences could easily account for the differences in lap time.
Ultimately, I’d expect any contest to be very close… but I think the Ferrari would most likely have an edge in most circumstances as the base technologies used in the Enzo are much closer to their race versions (and thus a little less usable as a street car) while the Carrera GT is actually based on the unused Le Mans prototype design from Porsche, but it is completely adapted to the street. Very similar cars, yet completely different.
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.
Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
What the heck. The enzo will win, and it wont fall apart. You dont pay a million dollars for a car thats going to fall apart

In a straight line or on a course?
I suspect the Enzo would win based on the suspension since I would rate the engines fairly close.
