Firstly, ENZO FERRARI is an old car now. It's 6 years old.
Second, its an issue of status. Which car is more suitable for a millionaire? a Nissan GTR or a Ferrari Enzo?

Stupid fucking idiots, why compare to a 6 year old car?
But anyways, ooooo woopy it might beat the enzo by a few seconds but what's the big deal, the GTR is fucking ugly and the enzo is one of the nicest automobiles ever built.

back in the day, Lamborghini or Ferrari were supercars...there was no way Skyline or Corvette could keep up.
for example back in early 1990s...
Corvette and Skyline GT-R  
Ferrari and Lambo  
those cars had distinctive difference in territory interms of performance.
for few times of the cost, they better be.
but now, the ZR-1 or GT-R spec-V can go as fast as Ferrari and Lambo. Making Italian exotics less attractive.
Just like how BMW and Mercedes were way more prestigius(spell?) than Lexus, but not anymore.

I have a feeling Chinese people are helping the sales of BMW and Mercedes. Same as in Japan...people think European cars are better because of it's brand name.

Like I said before...apples with apples and not compare apples with oranges | It is on the 11th launch that it breaks. My classmate works at Yonker nissan. He was working on the GTR with the GTR tech. Tech told him that after the 10th launch, the transmission will be gone if they use it the 11th time.

This isn't a riced out civic showing off it's quarter mile time...it's the NURBURGRING...so YES..Nissan can compare themselves to Ferrari. Quote:

^ Agreed.
This is a performance comparison. Determining which car is more desirable is irrelevant.

What tuning did the GT-R need to run 7:29? Slicks? way more horsepower? Bottomline is, it's not stock. They should start testing cars that freshly rolled out of the dealership's floor.
Enzo's time around the track is 7:25, stock. http://www.dpccars.com/car-videos-08...urburgring.htm

Ezekiel 25:17. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you. | |

Dude, what have you been smoking? Lexus had a competitive advantage to BMW/MB in 1990-1995, but after that BMW, MB and Audi have surged far ahead in terms of building superior vehicles. Lexus makes a reliable car, but other than the LS, the rest of the lineup is pathetic. And the LS is nothing compared to an S-class or 7 Series.

Everyone knows Nissan cheated. The evidence is plain as can be to anyone who watches the videos.
Even when cheating, the GTR still can't beat the bone-stock ZR1.

They'd take a porsche boxter over a NSX anyday, we wouldnt.

Any evidence it was running on slicks?

It's 100% obvious NIssan greatly increased the HP and/or shaved weight off the GTR they used.
Nissan are a bunch of fucking cheaters and liars, and anyone who can't see that after watching the videos is a fucking idiot. Oh, and a blind fanboy too.
