I love this video!
You can see my exhaust GLOWING red as he passes me.

By the way, I was NOT 700hp in this video, I was about 9-11psi boost, and around prolly 600-650rwhp...
Ill turn it up to 15 and give it another shot against that Vette, its a bad mother ****** for sure!

Wow my car sounds WICKED!
Im gonna put a bigger wastegate spring in her and give it another shot.
My boost controller is WAY to finicky, I hate it.

He said they haven't changed anything since the Lambo run... more miles on the setup might make it hang a little bit better but i think that Gallardo is shooting a bit higher than their Vette...
