Default Legendary Ride home

Driving home from work today im getting on 494 i see a yello lambo drive past, so i go catch up to it when i look ahead i see its following a red GTR and a white ford gt with blue stripes i tagged on to the end of them for a while darting in and out of traffic then i got beside the lambo and revved up at about seventy i think he must have been in the wrong gear because he pulled on me slowly compared to what i had expected. this is a worthless post just was exciting.i thought the car did well considering its 20k price and their 100k-200k priced cars

Would have been funny if they burnt out the clutch and died.

Should be able to tell what a v10 lambo sounds like compared to a 2.8l.

I know what you
mean. Our cars don't take extra weight to kindly, i think its due to the loose converter. i let my g/f ride down with on my last pass at the track and i lost over .3 tenths! she don't weigh that much! how consistant are your 4.9 0-60's i can only muster 5.5's and a few 5.3's.

well i never fill the tank over half i manage mostly 5.1s..... with even very little wheelspin the times get higher fast. the 4.9 was a result of punching the throttle just at the right time i try and work on my launch a lot seems thats what its all about in these cars
