    Its possible. I well done highly moded porsche could beat an Enzo. When they run right the Rturbo gets better performance numbers than the Enzo so its not that surprising.

    The Enzo is stock...the Porsche is not. If you put that amount of money upgrading the Enzo...crazy fast :)

    I still dont think it would beat an Enzo even with all the upgrades. I dont think the P will go 210 and we all know the Enzo will.
    Im pretty sure the Enzo didnt have the balls and wasnt in the correct gear

    I've always been crazy enough to look for room for a nitrous bottle in the Enzo. Trunk isn't really big enough though. How about a turbo or two? :) hehehe. I'm insane enough.

    Why cant it be true ? Its a modded Porsche Turbo.

    As said on that board , im sure the Enzo owner wouldnt trade his car for the P car.. 1000 hp or not.

    It doesn't matter how much he put into it, its total cost. I'm sure the porsche still cost less than the enzo.

    there are (or have been) 930s that would KILL an enzo, at least up to 150, I know bc I saw one that did the 1/4 in the mid 9s maybe high...a turbocharged car will stand a very good chance, hell, i wouldnt be surprised if one of those mitsu/subi's could be tuned to keep up with an enzo...HOWEVER, the Enzo has a great NA engine, very responsive Im sure, and also handles at a level that you would expect, not like the muscle car that this 911 seems to have been turned into. and the 911 with DEF. do 200+. the 650 HP lingenfelter vette did 226 didnt it?

    After 150 is the question? Many cars can beat an Enzo in the 1/4 etc but after that then what??

    It says something that to my knowledge nobody here has made a post about one of their "kills." Indeed, most boards have an entire section devoted to them. I simply don't understand this need for self-legitimization...

    Of course a hugely modded turbo will "win." The question is what gives a bigger smile.

    Edit: BTW, if anyone here ever uses the phrase "nice kill," I may have to put you on my ignore list

    I believe it, the correct mods to a porsche should burn the enzo pretty good. Fully believable from someone who isn't blinded by Dancing Donkey fever :)

    Zach, good point; nice kill... :D


    i'm so confused why there's so much hooplah about the NNO whenever another car's numbers come close to it or are better than it... The NNO is such a beautiful, extraordinary, lightning quick, flawless machine... But it's not the end-all be-all of automobiles... The McLaren puts it to shame and it's over a decade old...!

    Lastly, and this has been re-opened more than a scab on an adventurous adolescent, few people who actually own these cars will achieve the quoted numbers...

    How on earth a F1 puts the Enzo to shame ? Both have similar acceleration # however the Enzo rapped the F1 LM on a 0-100-0 test with more than 1 sec advantage. And on the track..granted they were never tested but if an F40 beat an F1 at Suzuka and an F50 beat another F1 at Estoril , its safe to assume the Enzo would to.

    Andrew... You know me; you know how utterly and completely, hopelessly obsessed i am with the NNO... But for the McLaren to come THAT close to the NNO in some of the tests and it's OVER ten years old tells us that it's a superior car... It's quicker from 0-60, it's faster in the top end - it's a killer car... Now, granted, i wouldn't take TEN McLarens over one NNO, but i HAVE to give credit where credit is due... Sure the NNO has SIMILAR performance numbers, but it's brand new and we're comparing it to a car that came out before i started high school...

    And lastly, as i mentioned before, the numbers that these cars achieve will seldom be reached by 99% of the owners... i'm not putting the NNO down, i'm just giving credit where i feel it's due...

    Wow what a diplomatic conversastion we have here.
    The ENZO is a nice car, but im agreeing with carbon here. The F1 does deserve ALOT of credit for it being so old but still being able to give an Enzo a kick up the balls.

    You want to talk about top end?
    Any Enzo's want a top speed run against me in my Bombardier Lear 45???
    Ill bet ill win everytime....:)

    The F1s braking sucks and that’s why it didn’t do well in the 0-100-0
    Does anyone know the 0-150 time for an Enzo?
    The F1 is 12.3 seconds
