Default Raced A Gallardo Today

Finally got in a rematch vs my friend with a Gallardo, this time in my car, not the girlfriend's.

40 roll, we hit it and I start to pull a little once I hit second, he missed third but kept on going, I ran it out to about 140 mph and he was 2-3 cars back.

30 roll, I couldn't hear his honks and I went when he did, resulting in a panic stab at the pedal and massive traction loss... He got about 3 cars on me from spinning first and some of second and I couldn't run him down by the time we let off at 130 or so.

A 50 roll is happening when we meet again, hopefully this weekend... And for the first time ever.... NO VIDS!!!










Also bonus kill, wrecked Fenix from a 50 and a 60 roll.

This would've been SO cool with 1 of your typically outstanding videos! Better luck on that one next time.

PROOF! Your car IS... Fenix fast!

Did you race it in the Trans Am? I could see you beating a stock pre 05 Gallardo as those things are slow but not by anything crazy like 3 cars. Now on the other hand a Superleggera or a higher trim than that, not a chance.

This. Older Gallardo's aren't as fast as people make them out to be. Regardless, always feels good to beat an exotic...let alone in an F-Body haha.

Nice kill.

Damn man, you werent kidding: 2005 Gallardo's run 13.3 sec @ 109mph in Motor Trends test. That means it's within touching range of a stock GTO or Fbody, and range fodder for bolton versions. Ouch.

It looks like the Gallardo Spyders do 11s, though. I didn't care enough to find out the exact differences.

They typically trap in the teens to 120 depending on the year, like Hitman said. This one is an 04. With a clean run by both of us I'm curious of the outcome, I can stretch my legs in 4th to 160 thanks to the 3.23s so I'll be testing that exotic top end next time around.

that car actually ran 11's@120 so it would be right around that hp. The aventador had a terrible driver lol
