is this just from 0-60, or in the 1/4 mile?
I can understand the turbo being faster down low, but once they hit around 100 the Enzo should (key word: should) start to make up the lost ground....am I correct to think this?

I read.. 3.6 0 - 60.
473HP
509 Ft-Lbs
3400 lbs
New AWD system
0 - 60 @ 3.6
Top speed supposedly 192, though I think real world numbers will be more like 197
They are going to offer an S version over the next 2 years - over 500 HP

3 words: power-to-weight. Doesn't matter what motor the car has, as long as
the power to weight ratio is there, it can be faster. Heck, how do you think the 911 Turbo is so fast with a 6 cylinder? Or the Elise with a VVTi 4 banger? Because they are light cars. The R8 will just have to be better engineered, although I think the target audience for the R8 will most likely not be 911 or Enzo buyers. It will most liked be aimed towards MB S600, BMW M6, and other luxo-cruisers.

Take another look -- 0-100 km/h is 3.9 seconds , according to Porsche
http://www.porsche.com/usa/aboutporsche/pressreleases/pag/?pool=international-de&id=2006-02-13
These improvements are translated into driving performance. The new 911 Turbo with six-speed manual transmission requires 3.9 seconds for the standard sprint from zero to 100 km/h. The coup? reaches the 200 km/h mark in 12.8 seconds. And just 3.8 seconds are all it takes for the most powerful series-built 911 model of all time to accelerate from 80 to 120 km/h in fifth gear. Despite these enhanced performance statistics, Porsche developers succeeded in reducing average fuel consumption by one tenth to 12.8 liters per 100 kilometers.
The 911 Turbo with the optionally available Tiptronic S automatic transmission puts in an even more impressive performance. An optimized setup gives the vehicle the wherewithal to power from zero to one hundred in just 3.7 seconds and to reach 200 km/h after a mere 12.2 seconds.
The Turbo with automatic transmission also has the advantage when it comes to flexibility. In penultimate gear it accelerates from 80 auf 120 km/h in 3.5 seconds. Fuel consumption by the Tiptronic S variant is 0.3 liters lower than that of its predecessor: 13.6 liters in accordance with the EU standard. Both transmission variants have a top speed of 310 km/h.
The vehicle's flexibility can be enhanced even further with the optional "Sport Chrono Package Turbo", available for the first time. Here the driver selects the "sports button" adjacent to the gear lever to activate a short-time "overboost" at full throttle. This increases boost pressure in the mid speed range by 0.2 bar for up to ten seconds; torque rises from 60 to 680 Newtonmeters. The time required by the 911 Turbo with manual transmission for intermediate acceleration from 80 to 120 km/h is reduced by 0.3 seconds to 3.5 seconds.<ul><li><a href="http://www.porsche.com/usa/aboutporsche/pressreleases/pag/?pool=international-de&id=2006-02-13">Click here for the truth.</a></li></ul>
