It is outrageous in all aspects, the way a supercar should be.

So who wants to rob a few banks with me so I can buy one?

Waiting for "ZR1 with a couple mods can do that." Fantastic car.

396 cubic inches spinning to 8k.....yes please.

Umm

LS1LT1

iTrader: (16)

Nah, that would be a silly thing to say here.
Because a ZR1 has done that BONE STOCK (and 10.3s with drag radials as the only mod).

But this new Lamborghini is fast no matter how ya slice it, expensive as all hell but fast and good lookin' too.

Irunelevens

Ok, then "a ZR1 is just as fast, this car is too much money." You know it's coming . Hadn't heard of a 10.6 from a stock ZR1 though.

LS1LT1

iTrader: (16)

Yeah, 10.6 at almost 133mph bone stock...and 10.3s on drag radials.

Not too shabby

Stock Z06s are pretty capable too with just a rear tire swap.

But enough thread hijacking, this thread is about the Aventador.

Ranger is a beast at rowing the gears.

A car that runs 10.6 @ 133.9 w/ 5.5#/HP has a lot of under the curve power, as well. Not to mention the ability to launch.

Top Gear tested one last season, as well.

Speaking of Motor Trend, my Road & Track is late. Anyone notice how they used to come a month early & now arrive in the first week of the current month?

You do realize that was copied and pasted? The ZR1 and Aventador are not in the same class of vehicle. I've seen 9 second Yugo's and VW Bugs, doesn't mean they are better cars.Anything can be modified to run faster.

ZR1s, Z06s....They're still not a Lamborghini.

iTrader: (18)

it takes a great driver to get the zr1 to do a 10.6 in the quarter stock , i best it doesnt take that good of a driver for the lambo . Just saying . Of course it costs waaay waay more too.

LS1LT1

iTrader: (16)

Yes I'd assumed that, I wasn't actually laughing at nor pointing that out as your error.





True...though that ZR1 on the 10.6 passes wasn't modified to run faster, it too was bone stock.





Probably true, though I haven't driven an Aventador so I can't say for sure how easy or difficult it would be to run 10s in.
In my opinion, if the car ran the number then it PROVES that it is truly capable of running that number, I don't care who the driver was.

LEO

That one 10.6 pass was done in -1,500+ DA, with a great driver and excellent track prep, most ZR1 drivers would be lucky to hit a low 11 under ordinary conditions. The Aventador can run 10.6-10.8 all day by anyone thanks to launch control.

LS1LT1

iTrader: (16)

Agreed.

But that STILL doesn't change the fact that every single Corvette C6 ZR1 is capable of 10.6s and 132+mph trap speeds in bone stock trim.
And no, even the mighty Aventador WILL NOT run that 10.6-10.8 all day in Morrison Colorado in the summer time LOL. But that makes it no less badass of course.

LEO

Under ordinary conditions meaning standard. What the NHRA corrects to. ZR1 is not capable of matching the Aventador. You can stop trying now.
