From R&T test. Much quicker than I expected... thought it would be closer to Gallardo's 4.2 and 12.2.

Wasn't this the "downhill" test that wasn't even a full 1/4 but was "calculated" on a portion of one anyway.

C&D test has some caveats, including mentioning the track eases slightly downhill at the halfway point. I'm under the impression R&T tested the car at the same track (Fiorano) but they don't say anything about the track not being level. In any case, it's unlikely 0-60 would be affected since the first half is level. This is one fast car, but the Enzo and F40 will separate at higher speeds, and I think the test numbers show that (Enzo is 1.5 sec faster to 100 than 430, according to R&T), although I think the true 0-100 and 1/4 will be slightly slower than C&D and R&T test.

i think most of us have concluded the F430 with 170 less hp can't run with an Enzo even if R&T says so. Wasn't this the "downhill" test that wasn't even a full 1/4 but was "calculated" on a portion of one anyway.

go look at the vegas track, that thing looks basically downhill the whole way

don't all manufactuerers send tuned cars to these events? I'm sure Ferrari did a little work to this car to make it run a little better. Nothing sells cars or magazines like a new Ferrari doing 3.5 in the 0-60.
