Ahhh and heres our good friends from Car and Driver: "Those Tricky Numbers The Enzo’s major straight-line numbers—0 to 60 mph in a flabbergasting 3.3 seconds, a quarter-mile of 11.2 at 136 mph—aren’t as ironclad as we’d like. The acceleration runs on Fiorano’s straightaway were slightly downhill and too short to get a true quarter-mile, so our 1320-foot time is a mathematical plot from the last solid data point at 120 mph and 954 feet. Nor did we apply our usual equalizing corrections for temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure, figuring they would only make wobbly numbers more uncertain. So, our numbers reflect what that Enzo did on that day at that track, with no warranties expressed or implied. —AR" I can keep going for you Ken. Thanks for Playing!

Oh and lets not forget this, same Motor Trend: "The test numbers you see have been shared among several magazines and with Ferrari SpA. And, because no two sets of data recorded that day were alike, the results will reflect these variances. Our data has been subjected to the same SAE corrections as all of our published acceleration data: 1-foot roll-out, 60°F, sea-level, 29.92 barometric pressure and 0% humidity. Because our best run ended between 97 and 98 mph, we extrapolated the remaining data to 100 mph. The quarter-mile time, braking distance, skid pad, and slalom figures are pure estimates based on our knowledge of the car and our limited experience within it." Did you see how they couldnt even do 0-100mph? Thats because the straight is not long enough, the same straight used for the 360.

Ok Kenny, here we go again... From Motor Trend, driven by Factory Test driver, Dario Bennuzzi: "He indicated he had finished, and already the next magazine representative was attaching his test gear. After I had downloaded the data, I answered the group of eager Ferrari representatives who had gathered around. "First run 3.8; second run 3.5, and third run, 3.3 seconds," referring to the 0-60 mph times of the car, "but he only reached 97.18 mph." That was all he did. The first three acceleration runs of the day (he was improving) and just four minutes of data. One run was on a slight uphill, one downhill. One run started in a corner exit and finished when he applied brakes for the next corner. I scanned the data to see if I had missed anything after the acceleration, but no--no maximum braking, and no threshold cornering. He did say he had used the Enzo's launch program ("Race" on, "ASR" off) which only allows a driver-selected-rpm clutch-drop from the F1-style gear box--no fancy Formula 1 racing traction control. We'd have to be happy with what we had recorded. In fact, we were in a better position than one of the other magazine's representatives whose luggage and test gear were lost en route to Italy." Again, who will get the most from a car, independent test driver that has spent a few hours with car, or factory test driver on Downhill course?

Make sure both fans are working, check water pump. Could also be stuck thermostat.

Way too high. Should stay right around 90.

I could picture you behind the wheel of 1978 Trans am, Black and Gold of course, with the license plate " Bandit" .

dont worry ralph, i will NEVER own a kit lambo.

Not according to Top Gear, they couldnt get below 4 sec. Other have been 3.6, 3.8 etc.

Still a turd, and thats old, I assume you are reffering to the TT 355.

Yeah see if that car drove well, i mean didnt feel like a put togther pos, it could be alot of fun. Id redo the interior gauges, steering wheel etc, to be exact lambo, and then go drag racing with a TT Chevy motor behind me!

Did you read the part where it tells you, half way through the straight it starts to go downhill?

Those are just ECU mods. These cars are running 11psi boost, i will run atleast 15. Ill also have turbos, exhaust, no cats, air filters, blow off valves, and intercoolers.

Found this.....Car And Driver Ferrari 430.

I always though that if i could get my hands on kit that was exact, like say a Prova kit, with an exact interior, but have a chevy 1000hp motor tucked away, would be fun! But it would have to be EXACT.

Not mine, but just a comparison of 2 simple ECU mods, nothing else. To put this in perspective, a Ferrari 355 weighs more, and they make about 280rwhp. A 360 weighs more, and they make about 325rwhp.

Here is that same Trans Am racing a Benz CL65 AMG. Most likely the same one Limey raced and beat. http://www.n2s1.net/RacingVideos/HAVOC_VS_CL65AMG_.WMV

Thats what magazines are for!

The car im talking about was just on racingflix. They dynoed it at 832rwhp.

Oh also, Peter is a very cool guy. I talk to him online, and he's already gone by SP to checkout my Diablo, and will be following my Esprit project.

I like those Sport 300 seats!

What do you guys think of these? Any ideas on where to get them, and or similar ones? Or anyone have any better ideas?

What article? My buddy has a 993TT, that just turned in the 9's at 150+mph.

Guys, please, i tried to be a little creative and i think SP did a great job. Give credit where credit is due!

A good exhaust sytem will save alot more than 30pds, also 6.0 will not work, it is different.
