    ALL AROUND:

    Looks: They are all stunning
    money: The Ford GT it's (only) $147,000.00 USD, the Enzo costs over 2 million and CGT is in the half a million range I belive.
    Speed: The Enzo
    Practicality: None of them. Supercars aren't supposed to be practical.

    Enzo have the looks and speed, but its rather too expensive... well what the hell, if you want a great car, there's a price to pay. if you want sometin cheap, buy a wagon.

    I thought the Enzo sold for 600 something thousand USD, and the GT is 440,000 USD im pretty sure.

    Unless you already have a F40/50 the Enzo is out, otherwise its the one. The CGT is a very close second. Looks wise the CGT is the best and priced only 2/3 the Enzo. The FGT is the bargain here. I still can't tell the original 60s racer from the current. It's a good-looking car and goes like stink. But with a supercharged V8 vs V10 and V12 it's definitely the crude expresso

    I reckon the CGT, its Porsche's best car...'Nuff said.

    I'll admit the Enzo is a good car, but its not the out and out champ people make it out to be. The CGT is the cheaper car, has better brakes and handles better. People will buy an Enzo because it has a Prancing Horse and is expensive (is there any other combination?). But supercars aren't about sense, I suppose. I don't like the Enzo because it has the Italian asshole syndrome, in that people own a car thats Italian, then they tend to be an asshole. Alfa Romeo is a classic example of attracting these people.

    I'll take the Ford. Goes like hell for a (relatively) reasonable price. Plus it's got a (compared to the other two, anyway) low-revving V8 and it's American, both make for some bonus points for me.

    Enzo = fugly. Nuff said, if I'm gonna plunk down 600k for a car, I don't care how much poon it'll get me, I had better like how it looks.

    CGT = Actually not a bad car. It's got good performance, looks pretty decent as supercars go, has an ok interior. But that price tag still gets me, spending $400k+ for a brand new car. It's gonna depreciate like hell...

    Depreciation. You bring up a good point. Limited run Ferraris don't, infact they might appreciate. The CGT, although an exotic is still the first one from Porsche. Wonder if it'll hold it's value?
