From what I've read, Chris Harris is very very handy in a car.

Harris is pretty good.

His colum was one of things that kept me buying Autocar for so long.
Some balls to buy a Lambo all in the aid of a artical - think he lost a fair bit of cash in that one

Awesome piece of kit

Always hated the whole idea of flappy paddle shifts, but after watching that vid Chris Harris has me just about convinced. Still think F1 cars should have circa 1000bhp, a manual box and no traction control though. That would really sort out the men from the boys, the Massas from the Raikkonens

Tiff lapped Ferrari's Fiorano track in the 430 Scuderia in exactly the same time as he did in the Enzo.

with bells on, plus I'd struggle to blab on without loads of "emmms" & "ahhhs" whilst punting someone else's £170k motor on track...

not sure whether or not to be surprised by that - things have come along a long way since 2002 when that car was released - possibly a bit unfair to the Enzo to compare it to contemporary stuff.
Surely there's an arguement that you have to compare like for like anyway - the enzo is the 'luxury' version of that chasis with pumps to rise ride height for speedbumps etc, so accordingly ought to be compared to the standard F430 .. Scuderia vs FXX anyone?
