Default Ferrari Enzo vs. Saleen S7

Which do you think would win?
2003 Ferrari Enzo
Type: V12
Horsepower: 650 bhp @ 7800 rpm
Torque: 485 lb-ft @ 5500 rpm
Redline: 8200 rpm
0-60 mph: 3.3 sec
0-100 mph: 6.6 sec
Quarter Mile: 11.1 sec @ 133 mph
Top Speed: 217 mph

2001 Saleen S7
Type: V8
Horsepower: 550 bhp @ 6400 rpm
Torque: 525 lb-ft @ 4000 rpm
Redline: 7000 rpm
0-60 mph: 3.3 sec
0-100 mph: 8.9 sec
Quarter Mile: 11.8 sec @ 120 mph
Top Speed: est 215 mph

I would probably choose the Saleen S7. I don't know why but I 'll go with it.

Easy choice, the Enzo Ferrari!

And some of your information is wrong.
The Ferrari has 660 bhp, as per Ferrari.com.
0-60 is 3.1 sec, according to Motor Trend and Auto Week.
I have 1/4 miles speeds of 136 and 139 also.
Top speed is according to Ferrari 217.5, but a French test got 219.8.

And the Saleen is a 2003 also.

The Saleen is a nice car, BUT the Ferrari is more advanced, and basically beats it in EVERY category!!!!

I would have to pick the Ferrari, it is simply just a much, much better car.
And BluCamSS is right, some of those numbers have been improved on.
The Saleen is to "old school" for me, and the body has way to many holes lol.

PS: Technically according to Ferrari it is called the Enzo Ferrari. :-)

First off...lemme get this out of the way first, I'd rather HAVE an S7, but in this case, the Enzo would win...and that's comin' from a hard-core S7 fanatic! 8)

From a technological vote i'd go with the Enzo even though its ugly in front. The S7 is nicer but does not perform that well and doesn't have the power of 12 8) . It would be nice if there was someway of getting an outshell of the S7 with a Ferrari V12 and the Enzo's interior(whihc is the cars best feature)

I'd get the Enzo. It's much more technologically advanced and generally better. However, the S7 looks more unique and agressive.

With out a doubt the Ferrari, the Saleen looks BORING, just like a any other supercar.
The Ferrari has a awesome front end that is MUCH more aggressive and different then the Saleen.

Ferrari about $700,000.
Saleen about $450,000.
But the Ferrari has MUCH more "stuff" so it should be more money.
I don't think if you are gonna buy a supercar like these you
really car about the price anyway.

My vote is for the Ferrari, it performs better then the Saleen.
It also looks great, I think Ferrari did a great thing with the design
of their lastest supercar. It is different and mean as hell looking.

Saleen is better... Enzo would have to refuel every 10 miles so the Saleen could win!

But it depends on the race...

The Ferrari here.

It easily beats up on the Saleen. And it looks much better. I think it looks really, really good.
