Just wondering if anyone on here has driven the MC12....I'm not expecting that anyone has since there are less than 50 of them, but this is FChat after all. The car magazine reviews seemed to think that it was easier to drive than the Enzo at or near the limit in exchange for a very slightly slower turn-in and a little less speed. The only dissenter to that seemed to be Clarkson, who had the thing spinning out of control at random...

Compared to the Enzo ... MC12 has better handling characteristics and incorporates the newer generation gearbox (blip on shifts, for example). The car is bigger and lighter and it shows up in the improved handling. The Enzo has more power and it is easy to lose grip with the car (you cant open it up full throttle until about 70-80mph) -- the MC12 you can be a little more aggressive with the throttle. I think the bottom line is the track times are about the same with both cars, the MC12 makes up for its slightly less powerful engine with the weight and handling improvement ... but the Enzo is exciting with excess power.
The Edo-competition MC12 has a new colour: http://www.edo-competition.de/Car-gallery.99.0.html?&L=2&tx_lzgallery_pi1[showUid]=2
