I mean seriously, hes got a H/C stalled auto putting out 400whp UNLOCKED. I'd say depending on his setup he'd put down 430ish locked. So a stalled auto in first gear with that kind of power is going to be insane! I mean ****, think about it people.
On Mike Norris' DynoJet, which is known as "The Humbler", the car pulled 423 RWHP trying to lock the converter, however, Mike couldn't get it to lock all the way, so, I'm guessing it would have produced 440-ish+ at the back corners. I'll never really know 'cause the converter wont' completely lock up.

I think its quite believable- READ http://www.dragtimes.com/Lamborghini...ag-Racing.html

aww hell, i could take a few of those guys out at the track.. they all seem to trap pretty damn good, but times are so-so.. im guessing theres a short between the steering wheel and driver's seat on those lambos shown.

I believe you could but after the 1/4 they'd pull on you. I say the 1/4 mile is what counts, so, yeah, if you stick and get a good dig, you could take some of those 12-second ones. Miss a gear and it's over. Of course, same goes for him. Caveman or Next I believe would be th efirst to tell you the faster car doesn't always win the points races.

I know what you mean. I would kill to run a Lambo or exotic of any kind just to see it in action. There is guy on campus with a 911 Turbo I always happen to see in traffic or on campus roads. Kills me because I want to run the guy so bad. Not exactly an exotic but still a formidable ride.

Maybe I'll leave a note on his windshield one day. "Hey Porcshe guy, come get yours... street where the big oak tree's at.

I saw him but he darted and avoided me ... looked right at me and then hooked to the far lane and turned ... guess he was too embarrassed to face me at the redlight.

No matter what the nay-sayers here drum up, HE knows I dusted his ***. I'm just glad I'm not that way when I lose a race. When I lose, hell, I give the guy a thumbs-up and then compliment them on their car.
