That wouldn't be good for u my friend since they're packing over 500 hp straight from the assembly line!

Probably makes the same power to all 4 wheels. Weighs about 300lbs less and doesn't have any traction issues. I"m guessing you're in trouble, from a dig, from a roll, in the corners, braking and just about everywhere else. Plus the gallardo comes with a much bigger pu$$y magnet from the factory. SHould be fun though. DO IT!!!

I love muscle cars more than life, but that car is waaaaaaay out of our price/power range. Stick to picking on 'Rice...

i think you'd lose that battle. the gallardo is rated at 520 hp the hardtop only weighs 3150 lb the convertible comes in around 3450 this is also an AWD car. you might be able to make things interesting especially if he's not that good of a driver. but why not give it a shot, thats a $200k sports car. you have nothing to lose, maybe he misses a shift and you take him.

whats ur qt mile times, the gallardo is good for 12.2 - 12.4 quarter mile at trap speeds of 116 - 120. maybe you will hang but the higher the speed the better for him

Try him, whats to lose? Your car is an eighth the price of that thing. If you lose there is nothing to be ashamed of. Also this guy my drive like a D-bag and mis shifts and you could get lucky.

Hell, I would do it. You can tell people you raced a lambo

But you would probably give him a run in the 1/4 mile.
And maybe he'll miss a shift and then you can say you beat a lambo!

haha well thanks guys i'll prolly talk to him about it. he seems kinda cocky. I valet at a casino and he comes once in a while. one of my buddies told him to valet so he could drive it. the responded "my cupholder is worth more than all the cars in that valet lot combined".

How would it be with a 100-150 shot?
