Well, the DBR9 is a similar class of car really (non road legal race car full of tech) and that did it quicker.
The Stig will reveal himself on Top Gear tonight!

What would beat it?
Was that one though and what differs between them?
YES. Very much so!

The Enzo was Nick Mason's
Will it finish 7 seconds clear of the gumpert and x seconds ahead of the enzo though? Also can the FXX go over road bumps? Thats another rule they have.
As soon as I saw the FXX I knew it was Schumacher as that FXX they used is his personal one. I remember reading an article in Top Gear Magazine about the FXX development program as Ferrari gave Schumacher a bespoke personalised FXX as a gift and his is the only black one.

No idea and number plates I would suspect...maybe a couple of tweaks to meet with local laws.
People have put 917's and 956 Porsches on the road with little more than mesh over fans and number plates so I don't see why not.
Not from the factory it can't.
A Renault F1 car did it in 59 seconds in the wet.

Good luck at getting Ferrari's approval to make it road legal, there are no current road-legal versions and there never will be.

Would seem only 1 is road legal and is modified, which hardly makes it a production car.

There are 2.
Exactly, an F1 car can be road legal if you modify it ... from the factory it is not road legal though
For anyone thinking it's Schumi full time, you're easily fooled
TBH, anyone seriously thinking that is a gullible idiot

So there are, but still Schumacher's was not and that is the car that did the lap, that's like doing a lap in a racing version of the Marcos LM600 and then saying it counts because there is 1 Road Version out there albeit quite abit slower than the Racing version.

Upon revelation, my dad was like: "yeah, I can see it." At the end he was like "yeah I knew it couldn't be him."
Parents eh?
The FXX were all built as track cars so your Marcos example is somewhat off. Take a look at the small changes (most important being tyres) Edo made to their FXX to make it road legal. Who knows what they did to MS's car, we will never know but all FXX's were built to be quick on track....and still will be when converted to road use. The main difference will be slick v road tyres, that is where most speed would have been found I suggest.
