Default Beating those 1500AWHP URG Gallardos

Excuse me if im posting in the wrong area but has anyone from GM cars beat those UGR Gallardos from hell. So far they seem like they’ve taken the title to worlds fastest street cars from Tx2k. Post videos or records that have beat the top of the line Gallardo from UGR. Only GM cars. Heres one guy that came close. But its nearly impossible to beat 1500hp AWHP; Even if you have 2000hp RWHP. -_-

That Corvette was not at full kill mode but yet had a lot of traction issues. LMR said they were having issues with the fuel pump/s thats why they were only pushing 15psi. I wonder if the Vette would have had good traction what would the results would of been. Anyhow those Lambos are rediculous crazy fast. Fast, aerodynamic, AWD, and that gear box they have is crazy.

Edit: and the Tejano Blue didnt came close at all to that Lambo. lol If you watched the Texas Invitationals this past year (2012) you will see that Tejano Blue ruled the whole damn event. lol

They almost did...although the drivetrain probably wouldnt support 4 figures. It was available in Australia

Here's why the TT Gallardos are ridiculous highway rollers...

They have a motor that spins to close to 10k rpm. So sustained power over a longer rpm range is a benefit. Gearing, they are geared to run close to 300mph, and supposedly they can go over 100mph in second gear. AWD is also a huge advantage. Take a Gallardo running 4 toyo R888's and they have over 40" of tire width on the ground. To compare to that, you'd need to have a rwd car with 20" wide tires, which is just crazy wide.

So they race from 60mph in second gear which is like 5500rpm, but then pull to 10k.... Oh yeah, they are making 1500-1700rwhp... that also helps.

I think the lmr vette should be running a different transmission. The powerglide is just too boggy imo. Even a th400 with 3 gears would work better

Cocaine is a helluva of drug. On the streets you can forget it. Not happening. Those UGR Lambo's owns.

The Alchemist said it best and put the light where it was needed. Now move alone.

Anybody have any insight to what the average (I know that's a broad term) package or kit from UGR runs? cost wise

I agree, those are about impossible to beat on the street. If money is no problem, an AWD lambo is the way to go.

It's not just the kit you have to worry about. The maintenance alone, I wouldn't even care to know. It'd be a money pit compared an LS.

I'm watching the Pass Time TV show and it's all UGR cars today. A Gallardo came up and Ken asked the owner how much the "kit" cost. He said "about a hundred grand"

Geez.....and I almost **** a brick buying Koni's.

For an R package 1700hp you're looking at 120k iirc. But whenever they break you have to ship them back to their shop LOL. Which after hearing from 2 friends that own them, the anticipation waiting for the car to come back is the worst.

Makes you want to be careful and not go 100% for fear of having to ship the car again.
