Tiff Needel - "Your not supposed to switch off the traction control and drive like a hooligan, so here goes."

I love the Clarkson quotes when he really gets excited about a car; Similarly they are even more amusing when he hates a car!

"The Porsche engineers talk about the clutch pedal as though it’s the trigger for a nuclear bomb. It may as well be." JC

"And the most refined, most planed away, most astonishing engine I have ever encountered is currently to be found sitting in the middle of Porsche’s new Carrera GT. This is 100 years of human achievement crammed into three cubic feet of titanium, magnesium, aluminium and raw, unadulterated, visceral, screaming power. " JC

“The 60-mph run isn’t a sprint; it’s simply a first stride in this car. It’s gone in 3.5 seconds.” (Carrera GT)

"For a car to be aerodynamic, it should resemble a banana. To be roomy it should resemble a shoe-box. Style lies somewhere in between the two."

Isn't the Enzo supposed to be one of the most aerodynamically efficient cars on the road? That would mean Ferrari can't build engines, otherwise they wouldn't have concerned themselves with the shape of the car.
