that car prolly costs half a mil.
is this the car UGR was building with twin 78's? What are the engine specs on this thing?
Any onboard video or speedo shots?
John Reed, the tuner of all of these Gallardos was just at my buddy's shop doing some work. He said these Gallardos with all the mods still drive like a really nice street car even the 1380whp UGR Gallardo R.
My buddy has been looking to get a Gallardo so we're trying to talk him into building a kit and having John tune it, and mayne try and give UGR a run for their money! : )
Still bitter I see...thats what i like to hear1
i am not the slightest bit impressed by this.. this video shows me nothing but someone willing to spend more money than i will make in 10 years on a car.. anyone with tons of $$ to THROW AWAY can build anything fast... extreme $100k build dont impress me.
with enough $$ i could build the worlds fastest lawn mower, or the worlds fastest hairdryer on wheels.
you want to impress me, build a 9 second car for less than $10k... then you're onto something.

So your more impressed by your back yard 9 second N2O Fox body then this?
ok.
Still bitter I see...
And I am all for people trying to do new things on their own. But these Gallardo's are not as receptive to turbo's as it appears when you see a vid of UGR's cars or Heffner's for that matter. The motors hold no more then 6 pounds stock, the clutches hold little more then 600 whp, and the intake, fuel, and drive line mods are only learned through trial and error. Not to even get started on running the Motec in parallel with the stock ECU. The reason these types of builds cost more then what you see in parts and labor is because TONS of money was spent on the R&D to get to this point. I was talking extensively with a guy on this board about TT'ing his Gallardo but neither him nor I was in a position to eat the cost of all the potential broken parts along the way. I encourage ANYBODY to try stuff on their own though. That's the only way we see innovation.
To each his own...
unreal! That thing is so sick! Im sure it will be goin 8's soon?
Soon? Heck, that day they could have done it if they really LAUNCHED it...
Hearing those TT's spoolin up is amazing...
