As far as the 2nd video posted, thats my vette vs the same gallardo. went from 40 mph and I started in 3rd vs the gallardo starting in first. Not that it makes a difference but the reason I waved for him to go is that my car has a removable steering wheel and no horn, plus I knew it wouldn't be much of a race.
all the footage you see if from my recently released dvd. www.beyondthequarter.com
any more questions email me robiferretti@beyondthequarter.com

The gallardo has an e-gear (no missed shifts possible) and is not supercharged or turbo charged. The only mod is a tubi exhaust, still retains its cats. Gallardo dynos around 415-420 so your just watching the Z06 out hp it.

From a highway roll I don't think a C5 Z06 would get smoked. Acording to this website, gallardo's do 12.4 @112 mph in the 1/4. Also, gallardos weigh a ton 3560 lbs. Shouldn't a C5 Z06 be able to keep up with that?

If it wasn't his hat but his hair (or a wig) than it just makes it worse.
I bet the exotic would REALLY outhandle the 'vette though.
I've read up on the new Z06's handling and it really turned me off... Not that I am an exotic lover or anything. I just don't like the idea of a Corvette Z06 with dicey handling and RWD on a track with turns compared to the AWD exotic.

You don't have a clue of what your talking about.
Go drive a vette dipshit,..and tell me about how bad it handles.

Wow.. Cool video! That lambo does sound cool as hell, as does the Z06 once you can hear the exhaust after it passes!

Yup. Gallardo is awd and 500 ponies. Chalk it up to parasitic power loss maybe? Both 500hp (the Vette is a lil under rated though isn't it?)

No. Look at what you're stating. A standing 1/4 mile and a highway roll are two VERY different races. A highway roll has less to do with weight, and alot to do with aerodynamics and horsepower. The two have equal (maybe edge to the lambo) in aerodynamics, and the lambo has 100 more hp. 400lbs and awd from a roll are not enough to overcome such a deficit.
You might be able to make a case for a decent 1/4 race, where weight would be more of a factor, but even then, unless the Z has DRs, i doubt it would be enough to outweight the awd traction of the Lambo.
-----The preceeding statements were made with the assumption of equally skilled drivers, no missed shifts, and a clear sunny day at about 75* and a closed course, naturally -----

Sheesh people.
Read around for handling comparisons between the new viper vs the new vette. The Viper actually won with its new suspension set up. It was slower though of course the other comparisons were higher up on the suspension stability.
I'd don't know and I'm a dipshit whatever....
