If anyone missed TopGear last evening, all I can tell you is WHAT AN EPISODE!!! They tested the Enzo (and it was Nick Mason's, of Pink Floyd), the Porsche Carrera GT, and my favorite, the Pagani Zonda C12 S 7.3 V12 . Jeremy Clarkson is a goof, but was really funny while he was driving the Enzo. Then they took the Enzo around their track to see its time, 1:19:00, amazing.
The best part, they compared these 3 new supercars to 3 supercars from the "Regan and Thatcher Era" as Jeremy stated. The other 3 cars were the Jaguar XJ220 ( a twin turbo V6), the Ferrari F40, anf the fast of its time the Mclaren F1. To see the Jaguar trounce the Pagani in a straight ahead race, from a stand still was incredible. It was a definite VCR episode. Did anyone else see it?

Check out the video's on the Top Gear site, they have a great video of Jeremy Clarkson driving a new Ford GT. During the review he mentions how only a few lucky people in the UK are going to get and he's one of those lucky people! His comments about the car are great.
