The Enzo. In red.
At that price range it's pure lust, and IMO the Italians have always made sexier cars than the Germans. (C2S's excluded, of course!)
I also think Ferrari has a more interesting and fuller tradition of exotic supercars (those that fall in the Enzo/Carrera GT category).
I regret that, reality being the way it is, I have to shy away from both until gas prices come down a bit.

A Fun Question, since both are beyond my car-budget.
I'd get the Enzo for one reason - long term resale value.
Both cars are beyond "exotic" cars and are "supercars". Ferrari's controlled supply will help keep them rare and maintain values.
I admire cars that are uncompromising, like the Enzo. But IMO they got lost with that front end, trying to emulate a F1 nose/wing.
I wonder if PAG upped the HP specs for the GT since intoduction to position itself closer to the Enzo?
With its advanced layout, the GT, like most Porsches must be tunable for racing, without becoming an phony silouette cars like Corvette.
And maybe we'll see the Carrera GT become the world benchmark if PAG develops it for major sports car endurance races. This will keep 4RE honest and could see race honours and reputation swing to P-cars?
Just my opinion

I'll take the Carrera GT, only because I was infected by the Porsche virus about 40 years ago, and I haven't any form of cure yet!
TT X50.....Your point about the CGT POSSIBLY becoming the benchmark for some sort of Porsche racing is right on! I can't imagine Porsche investing billions of dollars in a V-10 engine program only to produce a relatively few Carrera GT's. This motor is going to end up in a Formula One campaign, or at LeMans, or.....Somewhere.
I hope, I hope, I hope!!!
Cheers to all, Robert

Well I haven't posted my choice yet so here i go..
I would most likely take the enzo. Incredible looks. Incredible handling, 660 HP! An interior to die for. And a car from a company who has the ultimate name in terms of prestige, quality, performance, engineering, heritage. Need I say more?
