Novitec F430 vs Enzo - drag race

Would be nice to see them keep going but still cool.

Quote:
To showcase the awesome power created by the Novitec Rosso twin-supercharged Ferrari F430, ZR Auto owner Zahir Rana decided to stage a competition. At his local dragstrip in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Rana pitted the NR F430 against his most prized possession, a bright yellow Enzo – the ultimate street-legal Ferrari.

The Novitec F430 technically makes more power than the Enzo, with 707 hp versus the 660 hp of the Enzo, but is that enough to dethrone the million-dollar supercar? Watch and find out!

Enzo was still able to slightly pull the 430.

Don't know what the enzo owner was bitching about.

...X2*

If you observe the races closely, particularly toward the end of the 1/4mile, the Enzo definitely starts to pull on the Novitec 430....in the second race to the point it came back from nearly a car to beat the Novitec.

...Had these races gone on ANY further than the 1/4 mile marker it'd be ALL Enzo everytime, that was obvious.

It barely inched ahead. would have been nice to see them run from a dead stop rather than a roll. Novitec still won the races.

Nice video. For what it offers the Enzo doesn't seem to be worth it compared to the Zonda F or even the F430 (both of which beat it by miles in terms of aesthetics). I wish they'd go back to the F50 look

I find it suspicious that they didn't show the times.

I love the crazy look of the Enzo. F cars sound good, but to me they cant come close to comparing with a Lambo.

Probably didn't want to mess anything up. What pissed me off is that at the end of the video he says he "used launch control for all three passes".......Launch control works from a dead stop, not a roll.
