Small question about the F40
Does it accelerate from 0 - 100 kph in 4.7 seconds or 3.8 seconds ? or even another time ? thx..

Ferrari states 3.8 (but I think that's the 0-60mph time, not sure). But that depends a lot on the car and especially the tyres.
All the F40's are different from eachothers...so you can't really say that 3.8 (or any other number) is the time.
The 4.7 time is for the 288GTO.

Road & Track tested it years ago and they published 3.8 seconds in the mag (0-60 mph) 8)

If I'm not mistaken the official (= Ferrari claimed ) 0-100 km/h time of the EU spec F40 was 3.9 seconds.

As to the 0-100kph time Wutputt is right.

That seems reasonable then:
0-60mph: 3.8seconds
0-100kph (62mph): 3.9 seconds.

Exactly the same difference as claimed in terms of the Enzo : 3,55/3,65

3.8s for 430 is an optmistical number.... 490 HP (sure 450 effective on wheels ), not turbo... great car, but I think it's can do not better of 4.1-4.2

And he is probably right. Two American magazines already recorded a 3.5s time from 0-60 mph (which I think is too optimistic), so a 3.8 to 100kmh should be possible.
Remember that Ferrari's claim is without Launch Control...
Anyway, we're talking about 2/3 tenths of a second, which is irrelevant IMO.
