The Enzo goes 0-60 in 3.3, not 3.65, but since I have the latest Sports Car International on my desk, I'll post the numbers...

I would also like to point out, that since the LP640 is AWD, it has a great advantage off the line. I'm quite positive that the gap between the Lambo and the Enzo will expand past the 60mph mark.

Nonetheless the LP640 is an extremely fast car!

 

Doesnt it weigh more then the Enzo as well???

 

I heard the #1 reason for buying an Enzo is drag racing.

 

Not drag racing, but 0-60 racing as theres a limiter on going any faster.. Don't even think about turning that wheel! Straight line only!

 

LOL I have never understood the school of thought that any exotic should be measured by its drag racing abilitys, thats like buying a hemi cuda because of its F1 racing history, it makes no sense what-so-ever.

In most cases the exotic car owners cant drive their cars to anything near their potential, were business men not professional drivers. Hell I cant get anything out of my cars so a .2 sec on a 0-62 is usless,


I dont get caught up in the numbes because on my driving limitations, i buy exotics for lots of reasons but the numbers are secondary, i like how they feel on the road, how they talk to me, how they smell, its a subjective thing for me. and all those roads tests are arbitary at best

 

damn right.

hmm. im sure the person you heard that from has never seen or heard an Enzo

 

I think he was being sarcastic...

 

Sarcasm and the internet without smilies is like toast without butter, it just doesn't work. <----SEE

 

fair enough. Robin, my apologies in being quick to react. sorry

 

Out of curiousity, what other exotics do you own or have owned? It'd be nice to hear about some experiences with them (unless you already have a thread on some of them). I'm already aware about the yellow Enzo.

 

Spoken like a true car enthusiast! I'll never understand the magazine racers who get bent out of shape because such and such magazine said that car X was faster to 60 than their car.

^^^ I guess you didn't get the point of posts 3-14..

 

Is anyone else bothered by the thread title?

I mean:

Anyone bother title?

 

hahaha, it's the net; grammar and punctuation are a thing of the past. Gotta get used to it or else you won&#8217;t survive very long.

 

It's just the title that ain't exactly right: "does the LP640 faster than an ENZO".

When it should've been something like: "IS the LP640 faster than the Enzo?"

 

the Enzo has 650 horses, LP640 has 640....since we know the enzo is faster off the line, who has the better top speed anyways?
