Western Members - Just punked a Lambo!

I was cruising on the 110n with my friend. He was in his Z28 and I was in my C5 when a green Lambo Gallardo passes by and revs it on me! I was happy as hell. I wanted to measure my car against this guy. So I got on it and caught up to him. Im riding his ass for a while and he sped up a few times but nothing. This guy was punking out. I was on him all the way to the 10e when I finally realized he didnt want any so I started to merge on the 5south from the 10e and when he saw i was already on the other side he revved it. What a faggot! He probably thought he could punk us by revving and then he figured we were game and didnt want to get spanked by cheap american car.... right. I dont who wouldve won but all I know is Im lighter and have more hp. That wouldve been a beautiful kill.

Im quiker in all ares except top speed but mines unknown. Hmmm.

From a roll is a whole other story though. I hate when those guys in there "exotics" do that bull shit. They bought a bottom of the line sports car and all of a sudden they are hot shit or something :eyes:

lol, he got punked

damn i guess we built a really fast car :chug: .....even exotics bow down.... :engarde: right Nate????

haha that "bottom of the line sports car" costs well over a 100g, and it actually pretty fast. Lambos bottom of the line smokes just about anything else on the road.

but i agree, this sounds like a ricer fly-by, euro style.

i think what he means by bottom line is for that kinda cash it should be ALOT faster.

I love downshifting next to mustangs on the freeway and watching them exit the freeway.lol

damn i guess we built a really fast car :chug: .....even exotics bow down.... :engarde: right Nate????

Hahaha, hell yeah. Im not saying I wouldve beat him but it wouldve been an intresting race. I hope he crahes that shit.

i dont see how you punked him...seems more like he thought you were a waste of time...
that car would hand you your ass on a freeway roll anyway.

that's what I was thinking. Maybe he was just giving you a freindly rev?

Well for thinking he was a waste of time I don't know why he started it? He merged into the freeway and revved it on me first. I wasn't gonna bite because I knew I would get smoked. Then he revs it on Nate and tries to take off on him but Nate stays right on him and the Lambo never loses him. When Nate said he was riding his ass he didn't mean he was trying to get the race started, he meant he stayed on his ass as they both were speeding off. If the guy in the Lambo thought he was a waste of time I don't know why he was trying to lose Nate for more than 2 mi.??? yeah.....

Carlos

damn here come all the haters again...... :D

So your saying he was speeding for 2 miles? pedal to the metal? So the vette and lambo would have been way way over 150 right? I doubt he tried to "lose" him for 2 miles. :eyes:

lol the story reminds me of swiss cheese...

Is it me? or no one is paying attention to Nate's sig?

2002 C5 a4, Trick Flow heads, 228/234 112lsa custom cam, AFE CAI intake, 90mm Fast intake (ported), 90mm LS2 TB, Yank 3600ss, Texas Speed Lt headers, 3" exhaust xpipe, Hooker Aerochamber mufflers, custom tune by George Chavez @ Xpress Auto Center. 11.6 @ 120mph in 1/4mi. @ 2000rpm launch.
Could have been a good kill Nate. Maybe next time you will smoke him... :drive:

Yeah that 11.6 @120 is whats making me go WTF?! All that work and only 11.6? Granted the car is hopefully a lot better from a roll but lambos still love roll racing. From a stand still they aren't that great but 500hp weighing in at 3200 lbs isn't nothing to mess with from a roll. Remember you don't have to be a good driver when your roll racing.

all I know is that a C5 with that much power thru a 6 spd will be a beast on the freeway and most likely hand a stock gallardo its ass from a roll.However this vette is a stalled auto and I dont know how well those do from a high roll.Prob would have beat him anyways i think.

I dunno man I actually saw his car run at fontana and it looks like it has a faster time in it for sure.I mean he was launching it like a true granny lol:D

I launched my car from idle and pulled low 1.6 60's.... Stalled autos (in my experience) do not like to be stalled up much at all, maybe a few hundred over idle just to take out the slack in the drivetrain so it doesn't shock it as much but other than that basically right off idle. Says he launched at 2k meaning he stalled it up.

I was just stating that everyone saying he would whoop the lambo shouldn't be so sure, like the OP said he didn't know if he would win or not but he wanted to try anyways.

someone should just go buy a lambo and we can settle this

Sorry just spent my last 200k on frilly tooth picks :bang:

someone should just go buy a lambo and we can settle this

LOL how about we do a group buy or something for a better deal?:D lol We could however all pitch in and rent one for a day and well you know what would happen if that was the case:devil::devil:

gotcha.:nod: I was under the impression that they love being stalled up high.....shows what I know :bang:

In my 100 or so passes on my stalled auto it pulled shittier times the higher I stalled it, and thats what all my friends have said with their cars as well, When you flash it it gets more momentum than when it is already spinning and and grabs I guess. Where as once you stomp it the inertia of it spinning up fast gets you going faster I guess. Hard to explain but yeah haha.

Hahaha, hell yeah. Im not saying I wouldve beat him but it wouldve been an intresting race. I hope he crahes that shit.

About a year ago, I was in my friend's Cobra as a passenger and we stayed head to head with a Gallardo, that also had a passenger, until he began to brake because it seemed he had to exit and it was then that we obviously left him behind. This was on a roll because it was on the 10W. If he could keep up with it while having a supercharged '99 Cobra with 430rwhp/389rwtq then I'm pretty sure you could take him or at least be damn well close. No the passenger in the Gallardo was not obese and yes he was obviously trying to shake us. I kept looking over at the guy in the lambo while we were head to head... he seemed pretty pissed off and determined to leave us behind lol. The lambo didn't even have plates yet so it must have been at least an 07 since this did occur last year. All I'm saying is I know what I saw so I'm sure you would have had hope in at least beating the guy by a hair. This all started with the Gallardo guy cutting us off out of the blue followed by repeatedly revving at us.

gotcha.:nod: I was under the impression that they love being stalled up high.....shows what I know :bang:

You were right before. The point of a stall is too bring up the rpm to where you'll launch it at a speed in which the motor will be producing more power. If you have a 3600 stall then the t/c will engage full power (1:1 ratio) to the trans. You want to launch as high as possible. All NHRA funny cars are auto, listen to them before the grenn light.

Anyway, my car was launched soft (tranny is stock, mt's will kill it) but 120mph would mean I'd be flirtting with high 10's if my gears were 4.10's but Im a 3.42 so, thats actually pretty good. I should have been right there with the lambo unless he wouldve gone 160+ then we start to get away but, I doubt it.

Dam man. Of course you have to create your own meaning to what I meant. Speeding does not have to mean that your going WOT for 2 miles. The Lambo and my friend were clearly not following the speed limit though as they dodged through traffic and were obviously going way faster than everyone else. So...yeah, they were speeding. Yeah, he'll probably get shit for racing with traffic, but it would be pretty hard for him to go 150 mph with the amount of traffic on the freeways he was going on. Not that there was an excessive amount, but there were enough cars. I guess for you speeding only means maxing out your car.

As for the Lambo trying to lose him, remember my friend was behind him, almost the whole time. He was keeping up as the Lambo went through traffic, passing people up. And by passing I don't mean signaling and being courteous. So yeah, it seemed as if the Lambo was trying to lose him.

Look, it may not have been the greatest test for either car since there was traffic and not open space. Had there been open space then yeah, maybe what everyone says about the Lambo taking Nate from a roll would be true. But that's not what happened. For what was presented, my friend kept up and did not get lost when the other guy tried to lose him. That's it. He's not even claiming he won.

Carlos

Well the traffic might also explain why the lambo didn't goo 100% then huh? Like I said I never said anything to the OP he originally came out and said he isn't even sure if he would have won he just wanted to try, but everyone else on here is like oh yeah you would of beat it or he was scared or blah blah. These new facts about traffic explain a lot. I don't think your friend "punked" the lambo.

If a guy smaller than you wants to fight and you dont cause youre scared, you got punked! He thought he could intimidate us and he didnt want any when he saw we werent scared. He got punked. And trust me, unless he was willing to max out his car on a straight, he wasnt gonna take me out. He had a lot of chances to lose me is he was faster, there were enough straights but you know what, he didnt. He got punked, stop hating dude.

Dude, read a book on how torque converters work instead of your friends word. Lets see, my first pass was a flat stab at idle (no stall or burnout) and I ran a 12.00. Next I stall to 2000 and run 11.6. Hmmm, what do you know a STALL converter likes more STALL. I'll tell you what, you and me at Irwindale, you flat stab it and I'll stall too 2500, then we see who wins. Oh wait, youre in the 12 sec club, sorry.

My car went 7.0 at irwindale...

Every time I have flat stabbed of idle my car runs better 60'. As well as most other camaro owners I know. Most don't like being stalled much just a little above idle. This is also with a Yank SS4000.

This was my experience as well when I had a TCI 3500. I always kept it at around 1200.

Yeah I use to be at irwindale every week and everyone I saw with stalled camaros always netted the best short times with just off idle around 1k maybe a tad more.

My car went 7.0 at irwindale...

I wanna see that! What gears you got?

Look, I dont wanna talk crap but I know from racing my car a few times and being around techs and guys who run their cars that you wanna leave the line hard. Keep in mind these are cammed and built cars. At Irwindale my first time I improved by almost 4/10's just by stalling a 1000 more than idle. C'mon man, thats what a tc is all about.

3.73 gears. 7.0@94 with a 1.4 60' launching off idle on a 150 shot. I have heard from a guy with a 5.70 mustang at irwindale and a 8.60 camaro (1/4) that have been racing their entire lives and have gone through many camaros that its best to leave just above idle or at idle (among many others that have tested it). TC love to be flashed not stalled up real high. And I've tried many different ways in my 100+ passes in the car and all my real good times were just above idle (1000-1200) Maybe your TC just doesn't flash real well.

my yank ss4000 also launches better when you dont stall it.

My car went 7.0 at irwindale...

Sorry man, I call bullshit! A 7.0 is amost a 10sec car and youre running 12.2's?

Maybe you missed this part but 7.0 is a 10.90 and it was on a 150 shot!

12.2 is on motor!

N20 dont count homie. Im N/A running those times, street tires, on 3.42's, on a 85degree day. i got people who were there and the time slips. What you run off the bottle?
All throttle no bottle here!

And i Ive only ran this package once at Fontucky and once at Irwindale( with a tired stock tranny). I still havent pinpoint it yet.

Nitrous doesn't count lol, well shit better let a few of my buddies know their sub 10 second passes don't count :eyes: I'm sorry my stock motor car will only do 12.2. What did your stock motor car do? BTW on street tires the reason stalling it up helps more, it doesn't hit the tires as hard, flashing the converter will hit the tires harder, and if you don't have a good time hook it will spin.

Insert lame excuses here

.....:eyes:

LOL how about we do a group buy or something for a better deal?:D lol We could however all pitch in and rent one for a day and well you know what would happen if that was the case:devil::devil:

there would be a riot for the driver's seat lol :punch:

Youre comparing your times to mine, if youre squeezing it doesnt count moron!
Also you have a Yank SS4000 and 3.73 right. Those arent stock. A z28 w/ stock tc and 3.23 runs low 13's. I was running that with 2.73's stock. But who cares now. Arent you one of those Fontana guys? Im done with you. Save your allowance and build your car then we'll talk. See ya.

??????????????? WHAT? Stalling doesnt hit the tires as hard? Are u stupid? Thats a lot more force on the tires off the line. You know what, go to a community college and get some automotive classes, I'll pay for them. State of CA "no child left behind", what happened?

I said stock motor not stock car. But it was full weight (well minus jack and spare and crap) With a stock stall and 245 street tire and only the 3.73s I was running 12.7.

I'm comparing your built motor car to my stock motor car. Whats wrong with that, run whatcha brung. I brought nitrous you didn't too bad so sad.

Flashing the converter hits the tires harder. I did auto tech through high school btw.
