As I am the author of this thead I allow my self to input this in to the discussion: (and peeps please come down or Mr.Ban will wipe this thread clean and lock it . .which would be a shame)

1) The Enzo is (what ever you want to call it to feel nice with it ) a super car ! It costs so much that you can ask yourself if it really makes sense in terms of real world value-performance . As every body knows that for 1.000.000$+ you can build up most GT cars to superior performance then an ENZO.
2) Performance is a big word that can mean many things. Yes the ENZO aerodynamics are from another world compared to your GTR. And therefore it can hit thoses hight speeds above 320kph! Now that is all great for western opulent show off, but it doesn`t help much in the real world to go more quick then 320kph ! That`s when you start to compare your initial 5.000.000Yen R32 GTR from 1989 , what it can do in terms of handling , against the exactly 25 times more expensive ENZO. And then you realize that without swapping your budget GT car engine for a super car engine, you actually not need 25 times more money to tune your 89. GTR to the same (or superior) level of handling and it`s six cylinder to superior power outputs, of that very ENZO . . . . .
3)A real super car should obliviate every thing on any road, weather conditions and should be reliable in thoses extreme conditions, as this is also a very big requierement for aiming the title of dominator amongst cars!
The Enzo , Zonda and co are shit drives in wet, they are shit on slippery roads, and they are shit on bumped roads (now dominating in thoses conditions seems to be not that important for the supercar fans, as it is more cool to sparkle on a clean track with 400kph highspeeds . . . .

4) Then at last considering all the above, it is more then legitime to take the Enzo with it skills as a reference in certain domains and thinking about what you can do and for how much to bring your budget GT to superior performance in overall terms (the highspeed aero problem is the last thing in my mind).

Give me 1.000.000$ and my R32GTR would (with it`s initial engine, chassis and 4WD systhem kill an ENZO any where at anytime. So now please tell me somebody how much money we need to invest in our R32 GTR to get partially the skills of an ENZO . . . theses are the interesting answers we want to hear!
