personally i do think it is,
but i was surprised to hear somebody saying,
that it is a "slow, ugly, expensive, over-sized boxster."
along with a final statement, "porsche no longer is a super car maker."

I read it'll pull in top gear from 25mph to 205mph 
If that's not a supercar then there's no such thing.
Price/rarity make the Enzo more exotic, but I think the Carrrera is a better car.

This is clearly the voice of jealousy / idiocy speaking.

the purity of the design brief of the carerra gt puts it against mainly the mclaren F1.
the timing of the release puts it against the enzo.
cars like the amg 55 (and the upcoming 65) dont represent the same type of car
both the mclaren and the GT cars have transverse gearboxes and carbon bodies,layouts are similar, power figures and low CD figures.
what differentiates them is that the porsche is made tosell cars, the last time porsche build a world beater car, the 959, it over engineered and undercharged. now, the car is made to sell in (relatively) big numbers.
the mclaren F1 on the other hand came with personalised tag heur watched with the production number of the car engraved on its face, and luggage that matched the custom interior you chose. blue seats, blue luggage. its engine bay was coated with the best heat reflector known to man. gold leaf. it was created to be the ultimate road going car.
both are magnificent cars. its fact. anyone who thinks a trans am is comparable should consider researching the driving experiences of a souped up car toone that is purpose designed to be world leading.
regardless, the mclaren was ten years ahead of the GT. however, as amodern world best, the GT is very special, and i would anytime choose it over an enzo for organic driving experience.
