SS(Camaro) vs Gallardo...


2 cars behind when I started, he got the hit AND I had a passenger(now my g/f isn't fat by any means, but extra weight is extra weight, lol)... I actually got out of the gas to avoid running up his ass end when we got into traffic, lol

P.S. those cars were tested at 12.4@117. they aren't as "fast" as people think... they just have the Lambo name so every thinks they are ridiculously fast, a LS3 Vette will walk one of them for example, lmao... how do I know? a LS3 vette will walk me, lmao

To me it doesn't seem like the Lamborghini was really on it, I've heard several at WOT and they scream. None the less, always fun being able to run into those kind of cars

More wind noise please... Gallardos are just status symbols. Aventadors or murciealgos on the other hand are insanely fast...

Gallardos are like vipers.
The new ones are fast as hell...several years ago, a well built street cruiser can take one.

Until the Gallardos gets built with a TT setup @ 1000+ WHP!!!! <--- Outrageous!
I thought the HP Tuner guy that was banned (might not be?) from this forum supposedly raced a lambo on his 20G or 16G setup awhile ago?

12.4 stock is fast IMO.
I trained a SS last friday night. He had his GF/wife with him. He wouldn't come close to me after.

the reason you can't hear the lambo "screaming"... is you're on board with a header'd/no cats/no resonator/x-pipe/no mufflers 6.2L V8, lmao... he was most definitely in it to win it

I think I would get low 12s out of my car now(12.20s or so)... the gears and tune alone made this car a whole new beast, the headers were a dyno proven 37whp/46ft-lbs. after tuning... car made 387whp, which out of a 6-speed auto isn't bad... need to update the sig, put a set of Lingenfelter 3.73s under it a few weeks ago, lol

I will make my return to the track this Saturday with the gears, but for example, I ran 8.60s in the 1/8th for that 13.20 run, have ran a best of 8.24 with just the headers/tune... have not been back to the track since the 3.73s, ported Intake manifold/Throttle body... so i'm hoping to get in the 7s in the 1/8th, which should be mid/low 12s in the 1/4


and for the record, yes, I'd still gladly trade cars with him, lmao... I don't care if my car may be marginally faster than his to 120, lmao

You must be racing the slowest lambo ever made with the worst driver ever lol.

I was shotgun in a heads/cam 300C with baby shot. The 300c did 11.2 @ 122 mph on 100 shot as in the video. It did 11.9 @ 114 mph on motor, if it was barely keeping up on spray it would not even be close on motor. Gallardo's do mid-high 11's @ 120+ mph not mid 12's.

Bench racing ftmfw. So you are saying you trap 120+ and run 11's too?


The 300c

no, that is stock Gallardo... Lambos can be modded too, lmao... the spyders regularly run 12.60s or worse it seems from what people on other forums have commented... right now its like a 50/50 split of people saying "bull ****" vs the people saying "no really, they are mid 12 second cars, people just think they are fast"... lol

i'm not going around saying I have a Lambo killer by any means, but that was by far the most expensive car i've ever raced, I had adrenaline out the ass and felt like that should have been on the big screen in Hollywood, and well, it was a bad ass experience, lol... i'm just glad my girlfriend was in the car and able to record it, because had I been solo and having to "tell" that story, well: 1.) the experience wouldn't be the same 2.) everyone would be saying bull ****, lmao

Ya think you could of picked a time with less traffic on the road, closed your windows and you sun roof and you might of done better.

* note no comment about the girl friend.

well honestly I did back out when we ran up on traffic... and had I "planned" this race, yeah I would have put the windows up and sunroof down, but it was 85 degrees out... we were enjoying a drive, ran up on a Lambo and I said "babe, get to recording"... I have an hd hero I normally use for racing but well, once again, not a planned run, lol

and one thing I will say, is people race stock 5th gen SS Camaros and then come away unimpressed, hell, i was too with my car... yeah it ran low 13s virtually stock... it just didn't... feel... fast... unlike the LS1 cars or even a GT Mustang, it wouldn't "throw you back in the seat" when you went WOT..............until I tuned it, once the transmission was tuned and torque management removed, it was like a WHOLE new car... there is a reason the automatic L99s go from running 13.20-13.30s to 12.70s-12.80s with just a tune... they are pampered from the factory and a good tuner will wake them up, headers even more so... and once you get rid of the 3.23s and get a real set of gears under them... well, we may weigh 3900lbs and be the butt of all fat jokes, just dont get pissed when the fat kid in gym class outruns your ass


when comparing the new Camaros to mustangs that is one thing people often forget, the autos are geared 3.23s and the manuals 3.42s, whereas 3.73s are common place on the GT mustangs even with the autos... when the Camaros are geared evenly, suddenly that "gap" between the two disappears very quickly as far as 1/4 mile E.T.s

I have $580 in my gears and its by far the biggest gain of any mod I have done... this car is ridiculous from 40-120 now, cars that I used to be "nose to nose" with from 40, i'll now bus lengths, I honestly think the gears gave at least 3-4 1/10ths in the 1/4

I'm trying to get a friend of me to send the video of me racing a 5.0 Saturday evening from 40 to about 130 without traffic, though he was ahead of us on a 3-lane and we come blowing by him... I had car lengths on him and have never done that to a 5.0 like I did in that race... now the 5.0s still have us by the nuts, I have several friends with them and well, they are some bad bitches... they'll admit the gap isn't what people think it is, but mod for mod I can't compete with them, i'll admit that... but my car does run good for what it is, a good friend of mine has a Eforce supercharged L99 and I will actually pull him from 25 all the way to about 140 when he will FINALLY come creeping by me(the gears do kill my top end)... but his car only puts down 411whp even with that blower, it has a canned tune so he can keep his factory warranty and well, i'm within 20whp of him with a header'd car and a real tune, lmao but because of my transmission tune and gears, will kill him from 40-120



^ all those runs were prior to the 3.73s though

^My friend's Camaro SS L99 ran 13.5-13.7 @ 103-104 mph stock.

He added tune/intake and ran 13.1-13.3 @ 106-107 mph.

LOL! Im all for "safe" races. But you just can't pick a time and place with a lambo. Unless you have a rich friend I guess..

And OP, nice run man..I'm a believer.
