Stradels have been in the show rooms at Ferrari dealers for a few months now. So I'm sure they're on the roads already. Without the stripe, I wouldn't be able to tell unless it was parked.
Enzo is already out of production. I guess it was a 2003 car? Car came-and-went before car Mags could even get them for testing and stories. Enzo was sold out in 2002 before car was made. So it never really went on sale in 2003? |

Gallardo is maybe a 2004 car?
This is 2003 car of the year. |

Did the Gallardo make it in the test as well? Be strange if it didn't among that group. |

From ferrari.com:
Maranello, 23rd September - The British weekly �Autocar� has crowned the Challenge Stradale �Performance Car of the Year 2003�.
The long-established auto magazine today published the results of an extensive series of tests carried out two weeks ago on the Pirelli track at Vizzola. Lining up alongside Maranello's eight cylinder for testing by the Autocar experts was the: Porsche 911 GT3, Mercedes SL55 AMG, BMW M3 CSL, Pagani ZOnda C12S, Caterham R500 and the Noble M12.
The final verdict of the rigorous tests - which also took in acceleration, braking, road-holding and performance both on the track and the road - was delivered today, and the Challenge Stradale selected as the best performing car of the year. The survey concluded: �The Challenge Stradale is, right now, the most exciting
car on the planet.� The 83 points that allowed Ferrari to head the classification were obtained in particular in the categories of braking performance, noise, road handling, style and the top speed.
It's a full week before I get my issue here in the States. DAMMIT!
