October issue of MT has a nice review of the GT, Carrera GT and the Enzo. 
They hired Brian Herta to do some test runs of the three cars, the main
purpose being to validate the claims of 200+ MPH.  When the GT40 was in
its day, it did beat the Ferraris at LeMans 4 years straight.
On a slightly related note, there is a rumor that the F1 Jag team will be
renamed Ford F1 and do away with that aweful green color.

Lastly in that issue, there is a good write-up on the updated Mitsu Evo MR
and the Subaru STi.  Interesting conclusions, but these are both nice cars
just the same, and very quick 4 bangers.
