    So with all the hype lately about NNO numbers and tests and comparisons to other supercars, i decided to do my own test... i took pictures for your viewing enjoyment; here they are... As you can see, the NNO tested as a resounding success, going far beyond the limits i set for it... Maybe Alex can bring his Carrera GT and we can go head to head... :)

    (Special thanks to Dom Vitarella for supplying the track and car; thanks, Dom...:))

    If it were a real NNO, would you keep it under the cover in the garage or would you take the cover off, open the garage door and drive it...?

    As 0324 pointed out, not only did it make the jump, but it broke threw the barrier (unscathed, i might add!) and kept going for inche- uh, miles... Definitely a great test... :)


    0324, unfortunately, i didn't get any video as i was not only the test driver, but the camera man, as well... So i could only stop the car and take pictures - video of a stationary car wouldn't be much fun... Maybe next time... :)


    Zach, me too; what the hell am i doing on here when i could be reading all of it...?

    It was SO fast the camera man couldnt keep up with it and it broke the sound barrier so the people shut off the cameras and THEN the sound came....

    My sister bought me that for Christmas last year.... So I guess I was the first f-chatter to take delivery of my very own Enzo and test track.

    See what Armen thinks of *that*! :)
