HAhA, loving the plow understeer into that wall... ouch! Shit how wud u feel just making ur $1.5mill ENZO pretty much take to the air, bouncing off dat wall!
I dont understand what that guy doesnt get. Fark sakes, we all know those factors come into play, but again, when are u going to go over 300kph and again if u see most tracks and the average speed, u wont see over 200kph average around the whole track. All he does is fall back on laws of physics... cos thats all he has due to real world cars proving him other wise. farkn hell, we dont need a physics lesson!! But like i said, in ROAD going cars, the midship layout he is claiming is NOT EVERYTHING. A carrera GT with 100KG heavier and 100hp down on power, oh geez, i wonder if it will still keep its "only" 12 second lead over 911 turbo. I would probably bet it wud only a a shade of a couple of seconds with the handicap like that dispite its midship layout.
Like it has shown before with that EVO FQ400 and so many other examples, with best motoring such as the lightly tuned NISMO version going against a 360 modena.
OK so not an ENZO, but on paper the F 360 is so much superior. You say that because of mid ship layout u can brake later blah blah blah tire load blah blah cornering blah blah. Why is it then the R34 GTR actually outbrakes the modena? Shorter distance too. (tested by Driver magazine in NZ when GTR was released) Why does a STANDARD VSPEC2 have a quicker lap time in this video. Why does both the
midships (NSX and 360) loose out trailing to the brick like EVO and the front heavy GTR? The 360 is a lighter car too, more power, a wider track. The GTR again beats BOTH midships not only on the track all together, but even during Time Attack as well as best lap.

And what about this? Most GTR owners have examples alot more modified that this Nismo version. Which really is just a stage 1 GTR with added handling/braking mods.

Again beats the 360 and given a few laps wud have taken the 911 too. Not an ENZO, but a ferrari costing alot more than a GTR with the better aerodynamics, midship layout, light weight, similar power to weight ratio etc...
Clever technology... again those factors are important, but in very very high ends of the performance envelope where everything counts like F1 and the like, but in the real world for real road going cars, as i have shown u above, for results, its seems cleaver handling packages like what the GTR and EVOs bring to the table have more of an affect. Well it certainly shows above, i dont know how u can keep argugin to that fact by continuing to teaching us a physics lesson when there are results posted above. Because as you would agree, the 360 has everything that you have mentioned, but it looses out.
Come time, maybe u will think of something to justify the result above...
