Re: Which whould you rather use for one day of track driving?

I would go for the Ferrari. I think the Viper might be faster but that car does nothing for me...

Re: Which whould you rather use for one day of track driving?

In my mind, there is no doubt which car I would take the the track if I had the opportunity.......the F430 Scuderia (the supercar I would actually buy if I had the money).

Of all the cars there, it is probably the closest to driving a F1 car. Love that high reving naturally aspirated V8 for a linear throttle response, love the fastest shifting sequential manual gearbox on the planet, love the multi-stage (yet defeatable) electronic stability/traction control system with separate adjustments for the dampers to allow the driver to setup the car for each type of track/situation, and I absolutely love the look of the car.

As fast as an Enzo on Ferrari's test track......gotta love that too!

Re: Which whould you rather use for one day of track driving?

Think of the in-gear acceleration of these cars and how crappy I guess Ferrari would be, as compared to the ZR-1 or SRT-10 ACR.

I think the fastest lap times would be:

GT2
SRT-10 ACR
ZR-1
Scuderia
LP560-4

But the funnest and best to drive would be:

Scuderia
SRT-10 ACR
LP560-4
ZR-1
GT2

Out of these my choice would be the LP560-4, but if I could choose anything at all it would be this:

Max Torque (lbs ft/rpm): 177 lbsft @ 7200rpm
Weight: 506kg (516kg sequential gearbox)
0-60mph: 2.88 seconds
Power-to-weight: 520bhp-per-tonne
Top Speed: 150mph
