Takes a fat dump on the Enzo. It would still be a tough purchasing decision between the two.
On the absolute top end yes, the Koni has a much more respectable maximm capacity. But man, I wouldn't kick either of 'em out of bed for anything.

So is this the finalized version? I remember seeing that they were having high speed problems becasue of the lack of downforce. Is this the updated one that solved that problem? Its amazing how such a tiny thing like the little ventral diffusers can do so much.
The guys (well, The Stig actually) at Top Gear found the high speed stability problem. I'd bore you with the details, but the video does a much better job at explaining things.

I still wince watching the prototype slide off the track at speed.

Interesting tidbit: Running on 95 octane you get 825HP, tuned on biofuel, you get 900HP.

You get more hp on any engine if tuned with biofuel. Nothing special.

Does it still have a S/C Ford V8?

IMHO Zonda>Enzo>Egg. If Racing heritage is important then Enzo>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>others.

Actually nope Egg has there own V8 in there I believe.
That car is just pure SEX....... I'd even settle to just see it @ the track as the exhaust burbles and backfires on the fly by....

I think the only thing that's Ford about the engine is the block design. The rest is unique.

Why would you like the Zonda over the other two? The Zonda looks great, but the performance differences are so huge that I wouldn't take it over the other two unless cost is a consideration.
