Nick: 1) You *might* be able to exercise the car in short bursts on normal roads. The 'oh wow' factor would be well worth it to those with the $$$ (I'm still checking my couch seat cushions.) 2) Most (except those anal collector types) will probably log some track time. I know of a couple of local guys that will probably be seen on track days. | ||

Thanks guys. I cannot imagine what it feels like to accelerate in that machine. | ||

I know this may sound like heresy but paying for perfomance which cannot be used in daily driving is like a deaf person buying a top of the line stero system. It does not make sense. I know some people have "money to burn", and in this case the phrase is apt, but most if not all of us could not reach the limits of the F-cars we own! I guess the attraction is to say what it can do and never do it.  | ||

If it reaches 100mph in 6.4 it should be able to do 100 and back to 0 in 10 seconds or less. And that is awesome. | ||

Not a Ferrari but my old altered roadster drag car did 0-168mph in 8.9 sec (full quarter mile) on gas and a single 4 bbl carb. Class A/EA, NHRA. Was a real blast. Fiberglass '23 Ford T-bucket shell over a full tube chasis. Dynoed 655 hp at rear axle. Sold it about six years ago so I have not gotten to have another thrill like it in a very long time. | ||

I was once taken out in a TVR race car that did o-100 in 6.8 secs, I'm certainly not one to shy away from speed but I have to admit it was absolutely unbelievable. | ||

6.4 ..very impressive Manu.. I just searched the magazine CAR (uk) for numbers, and I found the 0-124 in 9.5 figur too. Not too shabby indeed. | ||

I've heard 0-100mph is 6.4 seconds... 0-120mph according to Evo magazine is an even more amazing 9.4s.... | ||

From Motor Trend "Its 660-hp V-12 pours out thrust (figure 0-60 in about 3.5 sec, and some 220 on top) through a paddle-shifted six-speed F1 gearbox, while never threatening to turn and bite. An immensely sophisticated electronic chassis-control system (damping, ABS, stability control) keeps the Enzo stable and settled, but still lively and responsive in your hands." | ||

Just guessing but my guess would be in the 7 to 8 second range | ||

Does anybody know how fast the Enzo can acclerate to 100mph? I looked on Ferrari.com, but it does not have this info. |
