They are just wicked fast street cars, and not really optimized for 1/4 mile drag racing. The guy at AMS I talked to said their goal for some of their 1000+ hp packages was to have a fast street car that can drive anywhere and run at the track whenever. They accomplished that no doubt. UGR lambos seem more suited for highway racing and top speed runs/mile type courses, not drag from a dig but cant deny the effectiveness of that AWD stuff. 0-60 on the street in less than 2.5 seconds is getting it done and would be very hard to compete with. That would be awesome to see at our Flash Light Drags which is just a "street" race done at a local airport strip on a concrete launch pad and its not prepped. They would do well in something like that although there are a few big tire cars lifting the front wheels up there.

I watched one of those UGR guys cart wheel his Lambo at 200 at the Texas mile awhile back because he didn't know how to use the chute with the brakes. Pretty sad. Money don't buy you brains

I like it, but some of the reading I have done gives me pause about their tactics. I think if I wanted to go that fast, a $20K check to RCC turbo for a turnkey Busa and a huge pair of brass ***** would be more my price range. There's a thread or two going on on that topic on busa boards now.

Think you guys need to realise that the 1/4 mile is not the only racing that exists.
That Lambo is amazing that it covers street, road race, drags & it does it extremely well.
Love to see how many of you that criticise the car have a hope in staying anywhere near its rear in all 3 of above let alone one.

Haven't you read the '13 GT500 vs '12 ZL1 threads. Clearly handling and driveability are afterthoughts here
UGR TT anything would keep me happy for a very long time
I don't even require a Lambo, an R8 would do just fine!

They were going 200 mph 20 years ago.
There is a guy with a modded GTR that runs at the Flashlight Drags in Greene county. He has run against full on drag cars and won. He said he uses the launch control and has messed with the clutch packs in the trans to launch harder. It is awesome to watch.
