I thought the F50 was 205. And the enzo as we know can reach even higher then 217.5. Theres no way in hell the instruments could be off by 10.5 mph!

I checked a few different sources, and most of them say the F50 has a top speed of 325 kph (202 mph). As for the Enzo, I was going by Ferrari's own official reported top speed. It's true that we have record of an owner achieving 227 mph in his Enzo (according to the speedometer).

Re: Who's faster?

Speedos can be off by that much. I have heard of them being as much as 6% off. That would equal like 13 or so mph at the enzos top speed.

Re: Who's faster?

Don't the tires grow at high speed thus throwing off the speedo?

depends what tires you use. i read a few years ago when they were trying to make a high speed run with the bugatti EB 16.4 veyron(it was still a concept then) when they reached 406 kmh(a rough 250 mph) they looked in the rear view mirror and they saw little pieces of rubber coming of the rear end.

Re: Who's faster?

The Enzo ...
And just for information, there is an enzo in Monaco which have been prepared ... (see it on the photo), and she's normally having 800hp ... and probably much that 217.5 mph too
