Keeping it "interesting" might end really bad since there was too much traffic in the first place.

Yes racing in traffic is dangerous, who doesn't know that? There were too many cars to go side by side so I thought I would stick to his butt for a few seconds since he had a clear lane. It wasn't too conjested, just more than "I" am comfortable with. It never happened and there was no race. Keep nit-picking if you want, I don't see your point.

Anyways, I searched for murcielago dynos and could only find a few ranging from 430-450whp. I believe dragtimes has a dyno also.

I am not trying to nit pick but your posts are just getting dumber as you keep posting.

"you would stick to his butt", really? do you know that tailgating is a 5 point violation?
or what if the guy didn't want to have an "interesting" race in traffic and opted out to slam on his brakes and have your dumbass slam into him?, or atleast to it to the point where you have to swerve out of the way and almost cause another accident?

NE area people are verry agressive and retarded drivers, we both know that, with that in mind, I never "play" with someone I don't know in the conditions you have mentioned. Too much room for error.

Yeah, but do you honestly believe they are accurate? 150mph traps and only mid 11's. Someone is bsing, sorry.

150mph traps would also require around 1000hp from a street car like the Lambo, too. Ala Veyron, SSC, etc.

Even Veyron had a trap around 142 I think.

Yes I know they are aggressive and I never do anything or risk something if I may regret it later. I don't see where my posts get more dumb but you are entitled to your opinion. Everyone has to make their own call and judge the circumstances. Someone will see it one way and some will see it another. If you make a mistake, you learn from it. My "dumbass" has been ok so far though.

Good for you. As soon as you realize that gluing yourself to another man's exotic car bumper in traffic is not a bright idea then you will get even smarter.

I believe you're right. I can't say if they actually launch hard or really just accelerate out of the hole hard w/ AWD. I do not believe it has launch control with a computer controlled clutch dump.

But it is VERY heavy, not very aerodynamic and AWD....

I agree it's heavy but any car that goes 245mph+ is aerodynamic any way you look at it IMO.

I will try to look up if they have some sort of launch control, they must have.

 

[tonydelvalle]

even with a slow 60ft a 125+mph trap should result in a low 11et.my car with a 1.9 60ft on pump gas and low boost (22psi) traps at 128mph,just my .02

125 will get you high 10s with a great 60 foot, how they run 11.8 is beyong me really. But all the documented traps are from 122 to 126.

251mph+. Actually Gordon Murray, the designer of the McLaren F1 and other race cars pointed out it could hit that speed with 300 LESS hp if it didn't have so many aerodynamic concessions with it's stying. A moot point though, huh?

I believe they don't - WAY too heavy, AWD and too powerful to engineer a clutch dump with reliability. Some cars with launch control even have a limited number programmed into them.

A side note - Heffner's TT Ford GT with an estimated 1,098hp ran a 10.6 @ 152mph on street tires....

its called the internet, maybe you should use it to find factual info

that time you listed for the evo ix would be a high average because there are plenty of cases of the evo ix running 12.9's@106. anyway just as a reference in case you want to see some real factual times.

heres an 11.7 evo ix on stock turbo, motor, no meth on 93 octane and probably in the ballpark of 350awhp.

here is a guy with an viii with some basic mods certainly not making 350awhp who ran a 12.02

here is a rs ix that ran 11.9 with a 1.7 60' with only intake, tbe, and mbc.. id guess he has a ecu flash which isnt nearly as good as a custom tune. he pulled 114mph and is probably pushing close to 330awhp.

here is an 11.7 @ 116 . he made 321 on a mustang dyno so he is probably in the neighborhood of 360awhp, maybe a little higher.. all depends on how the dyno is calibrated.

just a few examples for you of evo's with less than 380 rwhp, and if you read the ops original post you will see that he didnt say he would beat the lambo, but that he could potentially hold him off down low. and considering that a 380awhp evo should be able to pull high 11's @117ish and if he can launch right he has the power to pull 1.6 60' times i think he would have a good chance. there are some guys who are trapping as high as 119mph with 380whp, but that is on the higher end of the spectrum..
btw, i started typing this before i read the second page where you decided to retract some of your claims. good to see someone admit when they are wrong. :beer:

Car weighs around 4,200lbs< Lighter than I thought actually.
It's a dual clutch 7 speed DSG, some say it runs 10.2, some say 9.8 at 150.
I would like to believe you need some sort of launch control to run 10s or high 9s with run flat tires that thing comes with.

I believe a few magazines ran 10s in the 140s. I don't recall anything published quicker/faster than that. The enormous power and traction allows for sub 3-sec 0-60mph runs so it probably does a 60ft in 1.8 or so?

Doesn't say nothing about 60ft!!!

Wiki says that some tested it at 9.8 at 150mph:shrug:

Allegedly that car is a huge financial failure for the company.

 

[evo connevo]

Yes, the company didn't make any profit selling the cars.

They spent years in development. I remember seeing one at the Concorso in '01 or '02 when it was still at the Quail.

Allegedly after it's all said and done, it cost about 4 million to make one.
