1335 kg is not the curb weight for Maserati, it is claimed dry weight.
MC12 is heavier than Enzo, it's curb is about 1500 kg. So in power/weight aspect it has disadvantage and therefore slower on the straight.
MC12 haven't CCB unlike Enzo, so was worse in braking. But it had stiffer construction, more downforce and much stickier Michelin tires, which led it to be faster on tracks.
And according to reviewers MC12 was much more forgiving than Enzo at the limit.

MC12 for me.

What I meant with 'easier to drive' is that apparently it is easier to race an MC as ENzo is still supposed to be a comfortable ride even in sportsmode which contradicts with cornering performance.

@ Iggz: Nice video, but the cars couldn't be pushed to their limits because they were too loud, they could break the noise pollution regulations at the Nurburgring, the Maserati won, although it had less power.

In any case, could have been posted already but here are some good impressions of both on the Ring:

@ Fangio Man: I like both, but I favor the Enzo.

MC12 would be my chose too! :)

I do not know if the Maserati is easier to handle.
(Marc Basseng said it is similar to a race car.)

But I heard the Enzo is easy to drive (for a supercar) too.

Enzo is faster of course , sorry..long day in the office ) rest unchanged..

Dont know who sourced perf. Data for MC but MC is generally considered faster than Enzo. Its easier to handle while being more forgivable. Very roughly similar price but MC definately more special to own .

Just imagine if Maserati's engine was not detuned... Ah, damn, Ferrari, artful!

HAHAHA, the Ferrari Enzo blitzes the Maserati MC12 that uses the same powertrain. Both are great cars, though.

Now that is irritating.
