man. I want to keep this a chill forum...cuz if it ends up like my350z, then nobody will want to even post.
Ferrari, I hope I'm wrong in calling a bluff, but by your posts...it just seems likea bunch of BS. My brother has an exotic car dealer friend in Florida, and we know first hand that Enzos are never at a steal. Not only do u have to own two ferraris prior to owning an enzo...the community is very elite group of ferrari enthusiasts...not saying that u cant be that person...but I know i wouldnt be on a Z forum with your 27 posts if I had an Enzo...or any ferrari at that matter. I mean I would be waxing that a** all night...**** i do that now with my Z.

In regards to your topping off method...you are absolutely wrong. First of all, there's no way that you can get 2 gallons more after it clicks. Also, topping off in general is just a bad idea as shown by a previous link. Moreover, If u try to top off, you will very soon notice the gas dripping on your paint...now as a Ferrari owner...or any nice car owner, you know that gas and paint is not a nice combo.

Also...your gas mileage is wayyyyyyy off. The same exotic car friend takes his personal collection to the track on occasion, and driven hard, those cars gulp gas. as a matter of fact, Top Gear did a Supercar challenge to see which one has the best gas mileage: a lambo lp560, audi r8, ferrari 599 gtb, and some others...racing around the track, the ferrari got like 3MPG...the enzo is either worse or not far off that

So...If you really do have an enzo, and your "son" flew the blackbird...or kite ...what ever...congrats. you're a lucky man.
If not, take this as a opportunity to stop your BSing...cuz it honestly doesn't amuse us or make us envy you.

to AK, sorry for getting upset. I will make all my further posts more friendly

Just to point out, because I'm a big fan of poetic justice, that you, Ferrari, mouthed off to ssqpolo first in that '300 miles per tank' thread... and you were mistaken.

Hey man.........you say I am wrong.......I have been doing this for at least 30 years..!!!! Have you even EVER tried it? I think not..........yet you have the audacity to say that I am wrong......lol

After the nozzle clicks off.......your gas will settle as the air works its way out of the tank.......thu the fill spout......why dont you try it.......and see?

And I have never had any problems from doing this.......never..........in all types of cars......

fortunately, I have NOT tried this method. but my roomate in his 06 Civic has, and it did exactly what you would expect. After it clicked, a couple moments later gas spilled down his rear quarter panel. was his .1 gallon really worth it? I dont think so. But, im glad it works for u
