The whole thing just sounds like a rumor to me, but very possible.

There are certainly fast enough evos... It's just most enzo's aren't at the 1/4 track, or any other road for that matter.

I think the enzo is a great looking car. It would just be nice to see a video of a 4 door car beating it down the track. Just like the fq-400 vs. lambo that was such a big deal, and they are completly different cars, now people say not to compare the evo to the enzo because they are so different.

Which would you rather be doing? Personally id rather drive home in a slightly slower Enzo knowing that Im driving a Ferrari that is stock than an Evo that I know is highly modded.
You have a point. I think the same way about people with highly modded civics that are quicker then or as quick as my stock Evo.

I think it's awesome when a modder car beats a clearly superior one, that doesn't mean that the evo is better than the enzo it just means someone put in the work and did something awesome and actually not that crazy with their evo. Nobody said "EvO Pwnz EnZo"

If a pro driver gets 11.1 what you think an average owner going to get. Probably high 11s with a 128 trapspeed on a very conservative launch etc. See it all the time. Low 12 sec cars runnin high 12s to mid 13s all day. Modena down here was bustin high 13s and even did a 14.5 i believe.

Nope, it is pretty much idiot proff. Just set the launch, floor it, and just let off the clutch, it has a shift light and it is sequential. Pretty much easy to do, no clutch to futs with. It will out Launch a AWD 580HP Lamborgheni tested and proven. Top speed 222MPH and it gets there FAST


Trap? 133MPH and repeatable over and over again.

1/4 mile is not where the Enzo shines.
Low 11's and a 130+ MPH trap is DAMN good Stock. Only thing that can actually outrun an Enzo is a Mclaran F1, still, and only up top.

I don't think the FQ-400 will beat an Enzo. Actually Im pretty much positive. Yes, the Evo kicks major @$$ but the Enzo is an amazing machine. The Enzo is basically a road going F1 car that was created by the the hands down king of formula 1 racing. (Might be a bit of an overstatement, but not much ) That being said I do think that a 600 WHP Evo would be able to throw down with the Enzo. It would take it in the quater no doubt and if it was tuned right it might win on a track provided it was a tight, techanical course without some LONG straights where the Enzo would be able to push 200+MPH.

Internet racing is fun huh....Lol

And if you want to talk about the Modena, its 1/4 mile either, its a track car and any race car driver will tell that the Modena is one of the best cars for the track. I love my Evo but Ferrari is name that should not be mentioned in the same sentence as an Evo, they are made for a different purpose.
HAHA,, Totally agree .

It would take some SERIOUS MODS to get Enzo Speed but It'll never ba as balanced.

Enzo tops out at 222MPH BTW.
