¥5,000,000 is enough to build a GT-R that will make only driver skill the determining factor between an Enzo and a GT-R in any race on any surface. Bump that to ¥10,000,000 and you've got an edge, ESPECIALLY when conditions are not ideal.

Let's say (VERY hypothetically, as he'll never actually get near one), that Sidious owns a Ferrari Enzo. He meets Mick at the pub and Mick has brought his Lemon, which is making over 1000bhp. Would Sidious believe so much in the superiority of midship construction, superior aerodynamics, blah blah, that he would lay down a race for slips at Santa Pod, then the Nordschleife, a B road, and then an airstrip?

The remarkable design of the Ferrari Enzo, with its F1-inspired front and carbon-tub construction, midship V12, and aerodynamics designed to provide superior handling, especially to any poseur Jap saloon like the Skyline prone to inferior handling. Because of the LAWS OF PHYSICS, an Enzo is simply superior, and at 100mph generates enough aerodynamics to give the car handling that would outdo virtually any car on the road. For example:
YouTube - Eddie Griffin ferrari Enzo Crash
oops. Guess even aero design, F1 technology, and a midship V12 isn't enough to stop that car from understeering worse than a base-model Honda Civic...circa 1990!

I've mentioned this before, but in a full-out race between a 800 wheel hp Toyota Supra and a Ferrari Enzo, the Supra won. Both cars went well over 200mph.
