There goes this thread already. :D

Stock gallardo, automatic, e-gear. Will run from a low roll (say 50-ish) and again from 100, since Ive heard they are very fast into triple digit speeds. He'd probably get me if we went far enough (damn sixth gear), but I dont think either of us plans on going that fast.

My car puts down 390/400rwhp depending upon which dyno you believe. Im stoked to do this. And naturally, it will be in a closed, severely regulated environment. Neither of us are willing to take the risk of screaming down a populated freeway.

Any guesses? Ive seen traps as low as 112 and as high as 118 for the Lambo.

This is gonna be a close race. When my car was making 394rwhp I would trap about 119mph. I think Gallardos trap around 118mph like you said. It'll come down to driver I think. Your shifts better be dead-on because he ain't missing any with that E-Gear. Be sure to let us know the results... pics or video would be appreciated as well. :coo:

BillY2KFRC's right.
If your both running street tires, it's going to come down to a drivers race. It's all going to come down to who can feather the gas to the tires point of max grip and not spin, and shifting!

Good luck, and race safe.

p.s Get someone to video the race..... ;)

you will beat him for sure.......if you can drive. the best my car has trapped has been 120 and i have 390 at the wheels. i haven't raced a gallardo although i rolled with one last night. i've been in a 360 racing a gallardo that pulled away slowly from the 360. i've wrecked the same 360 many times and pulled away much harder. bet money on it. later on ill post the thread how i took a montery edition lambo diablo SV last night. ;)

I agree with the comment above regarding punching off at 100. That is a really tough speed for the Z-06 to go from. It's too high for a third gear punch, but too low for a really strong hit in fourth. I'd go from 40 to 45 (second gear punch) and from 80 to 85 (third gear punch with a strong, quick powershift into fourth). Again, pm or email me and let me know when you guys do it...i'm supposed to have my Viper toward the middle to end of this week. I'd love you run with you.

is that really so hard to believe? The driver of the lambo wasn't the owner and I can drive my car pretty darn well. What's that thing supposed to run anyway? Anyone know the power and weight?

After some research the car weighs a little over 3500lbs. Factory hp is 510 and 428 tq. I know his car has some exhaust mods though giving another 20 hp or so. IMHO 450 hp and 450 tq and 3100lbs with better gearing is the clear winner.

in the lambos' defense (i was driving) i started all the runs from 2nd gear (40 @ 2nd is dead in the water in the vette let alone the lambo) the time i went from 50 in 2nd you barely edged past me. Granted i was taking the brake, but i think going from the lambo's powerband that the car would hold you off until you started suffering drag and the lambo would pull away top end. But i think it would be close till you hit 5th gear.

So in conclusion lol :crazy: i think the lambo would win in a 1 mile race, or a 65 mph roll on :thumb: i was making ground on you when the lambo hit the power band. but it must have been funplaying around from your end too. You like it when i broke the SV lose taking the turn on the side roads going back to neils house :) :cool:

Please re-do your research. The cars weighs 3366pds and makes 530hp. The car you raced is basicly stock , not even K+N air filters. Racing from 35-40mph in 2nd gear, the Diablo is dead in the water, doesnt come into its powerband till about 70mph.

I dont know how well Rob can shift, but let me tell you what would happen in a real race with someone who can shift well from 1-2nd. !st gear, 30-40mph roll, the Sv will instantly pull 1 1/2- 2 cars on you, 2-3rd, he will continue to pull, and by say 140mph he will be 5 cars on you. Race from 70 in 2nd, same will happen. Keep going on the top end, and it will get real ugly for you.

Wow, that's really scary. I don't think I'm ever going to race a Lamborghini again. :lol:

What makes you think you know if the car I ran was stock or not?

Friday night was an awesome time. Nick was sleeping in my passenger seat while a Diablo was banging through the gears next to him. I didn't think that was possible. As a said a while ago I think Neil vs me would be a decent race. I'd expect to lose by a little bit to be honest. After 145mph though I'm toast. Drifting in a someone else's diablo has to be fun. I was shocked to see the ass kick out of that thing. How was your "boat ride"? :D

Why do you care Ben? A friendly race between a Lambo and a Z06, and you jump in to blab all of the possible ways the Lambo could win (but didn't). Lamborghini are neat cars, but trolls like you tarnish the Lamborghini mystique unjustly. :screwy:
