Tiago,
Your car is beautiful and obviously VERY VERY fast. Congrats on your success at TI its always fun to watch your car do its thing.
A UGR car won the competition? With all do respect to Tiago but he has nothing for the orange 6 speed car that Tag was driving. According to the board I saw Tiago trapped 175 the Orange Lambo trapped 193. Thats a pretty big difference.

I was out there all weekend, and enjoyed getting to see your car finally run. I dont know what your top run was, but I have a couple of decent 1080p videos of it doing 170+. For you guys that think the gallardo guys are ******, yeah maybe a couple, maybe. But for the most part, they are just successful businessman, car nuts. I was out there with Bob Helms friends and one of the sponsors. By and large, very nice people. Out of all the cars there, Bobs car was making the most power. Very dissappointing the last race with the porsche and BS start of the race. Tiago, you have any feedback on the shown MPH? I heard more than one guy talking about the registers were showing very low. How much power you making as you were running out there?

I also beat an R package car
and ran door to door with another that edge me out up top. Not bad for a RWD fbody on mild boost.
Once I have my fuel system lined out Tiago and I will turn up the boost on my car and let it eat...
For those that don't know because they haven't competed in the event and are just sitting behind their computers bench racing. The MPH will vary from race to race depending on when the drivers are lined up. An extra 200 to 300 feet of acceleration is possible if both cars are lined up evenly. The mph doesn't decide the winner, whoever crosses the line first is the winner.
Pics of the finish line for the naysayers...

Yeah I competed and it was a fantastic weekend. I thought the trap speeds were down as well, but like Brian mentioned it really was mainly the starting point. If you got a green light earlier you obviously had a longer accelleration distance etc... I ran 162-165 last fall. This time my best was 162.xx. So it wasn't that far off really maybe a tiny bit, but not enough to be a huge difference. I ran so so, but it was mainly me. So no complaints car held up and came home in one piece.
