After they had a chance to test it, Top Gear claims this car to handle, accelerate, and brake much better than an Enzo. And in fact, the Stig took this thing around the track faster than he could in an Enzo. So if you're talking about times around the track, maybe... either way, for well under 100k, this thing is very impressive with it's K20A motor, possibly supercharged.
