    Do you think the Enzo would benefit from an air inlet from above the cars cabin like the MC12? you would think that the "ram-air" effect would be better... plus it would look cool I think.

    any ram air effect doesnt show signifigent improvements untill close to 120+mph. Also if you look at the MC12 with its various downforce making apendages it uses them to make downforce thus allowing a "bulge" in the upper body. But since the Ferrari Enzo's aerodynamic aids are all in the underbody, any manipulation of the airflow on top, especially such as a hump on the roof, would create a wing like effect upon the car, thus making it go airborn.
