Default what would it take for our cars to beat a Lamborghini?

what kind of mods would we need to beat a lambo murcielago? For arguements sake, lets say its a 2002 and here are the stats:

Price: $273,000
Miles Per Gallon: 9/13 mpg
Curb Weight: 3638 lbs
Layout: Mid-Engine/AWD
Transmission: 6-Speed Manual
Engine
Type: V12
Displacement: 6192 cc
Horsepower: 580 bhp @ 7500 rpm
Torque: 480 lb-ft @ 5400 rpm
Redline: 7500 rpm
Performance
0-60 mph: 3.6 sec
0-100 mph: 8.7 sec
Quarter Mile: 12 sec @ 121 mph
Skidpad: .90g
Top Speed: 205 mph
Braking, 60-0 mph: 122 ft
Slalom Speed: 65.7 mph


based on what it says the 1/4 mile time is, what mods to get that fast? lets do this without using the bottle too.

Wow the numbers on that thing are not too impressive to me at all. Sure it has almost 600hp, but it has to rev to almost 8k to make it and look at that gas mileage! Also, only a .90 in the skidpad? I would expect much better for a car with that kind of price tag.

...stalled, geared, tire, and bolt ons will put you in the 11's. So how about spend like 2k and be in the 11's.

A basic bolt on and nitrous car should run right past him in the 1/4


But from a 120-200MPH roll hes probably going to be GONE

Yea tell me about it, I was smashing a bolt on C6 at Irwindale his 8.1@9XMPH to my 7.70@88MPH but when we were on the way home from an ~70MPH roll he would constantly pull me hard as hell, 1-2 cars right off the bat and 4-5 cars up to ~130

Gotta love the stalled auto stock gears from a roll....

Aw see I beat C6s from a roll, I had the advantage of gears. So I could pull them a car or two up until we saw north of 100+ then they would start pulling back up. Damn aerodynamics!

from about 50-60MPH roll or lower he's all mine, but from a high roll M6 C6's are ready to do some 100-180MPH+ runs right from the factory

He only had LG long tubes and a Vararam but none the less 3.23's suck from a roll....
I'll be taking care of that soon though....

true.

you could take your heads/cam fbody to 100mph and spray it til the driveshaft hits critical speed... then maybe some driveshaft (or floorboard) shrapnel will take out the other guy.

your best bet is to pull a flyby and get off the freeway with your hazards flashing (signalling the win) before he catches up with you.

I dont really, the lambo's have never been race cars or had race heritage so they do what they want for the most part. Ferrari is different and more along the lines of what you are thinking about
