I'd take the 722. I know its the slowest car in this lineup but the engine sound of this car is just so insane. Sounds more like a Spitfire than like a race car

My guess would be satisfaction with Zonda's epic domination!

Role reversal

Well, this is darned confusing for me. I'm an over-the-top-if-I-could-only-have-one Zonda fan. Horatio is a genius and his cars reflect a level of talent and craftsmanship unlike any other.
OTOH, this one, or perhaps because it's adapted purely for the track, just doesn't work for me. I'm shocked that there's any Zonda that I don't love, but this is it.
The Merc is just out of this league. Big car with an automatic transmission. There is no way around it. Out of the running. And, race bred or not, the same is true for the Maser. Simply too big and bulky. Enzo derived or not, that car is simply huge.
That leaves the Enzo++. I've never been overwhelmed with the car, until I saw this one. It's a beautiful piece. Light and lithe. Just what I'd want in a sports car.
But the reality is that all of these (well, maybe not the Merc) are just too precious pieces of art to be taken out on the track and beaten on by someone with money burning holes in his/her pockets. These are works of art. The first time they get scuffed or crunched, it would be a crime. And if they stay pristine, you're really not tracking them hard enough.

I can see where your coming from with that. The rear looks very busy and disturbed. Nonetheless I thought this comparison would be a lot more closely matched, especially with the beauty and soul of the MC12, and since this is the only proper race car actually used in championship races from these choices.

Zonda R only needs better looking exhaust, this one seems weak for such car...

I think the current one is perfect for the purpose and status of the car,it only accentuates the raw nature of that devil

I think the internal diameter should be bigger, just a little bit.
