Hi Vegasgtr, Agree 100% - UG stage 3 Gallardo is perfect as a daily driver:) cheers, john

Hi KC, great photo of you and your sisters. lol Fantastic result for Richard's Huracan and Underground racing. This result should make some of the non- UGR competitors sit up and take note. cheers, john

Hi Mike, ....and you can drive across the usa and back with full confidence you will have no worries and car will run like oem cheers, john

Hi Duhawks, only to your check book or credit card:) Traction and 'the brake boost hit', your speciality, are the key factors, agreed. cheers, john

65 psi boost with these serious 80 mm turbos:) http://www.forcedperformance.net/PROD/NTGT4580HTZ.html Where will it all end?

Hi Mullet, congratulations and great racing and competing in the spirit of the event, as it should be. As the lone lambo in your class, you showed the lambo is a car to be reckoned with. cheers, john

Hi Kevin, if this is the baby build, the mind boggles at what the big daddy build will do!!! Great work. Competition truly improves the breed. cheers, john

Hi TTSL, To answer your question, the UR stage 3 on the Gallardo is IMHO the best street power level. Proven reliability on my stage 3 with race heads LP as you can see from posts on my trip around the US last November/December. Also more importantly, the carbon ceramic clutch handles the power and drives as good as if not better than oem clutch in all types of street traffic, and that includes being stuck in friday afternoon traffic on rt 405 in LA for one hour:( Under 3700 rpm, car drives like standard oem lambo and gets 21mpg . If you want to feel the power, its right there under your foot. Go to the half mile runs or the drag strip and you know you can post a more than respectable time and speed with pump gas and with ms 109. On pump gas you can compete with 99% of cars on the road, except for !R's and up and also now the Huracan stage 3 bolt on! just my two cents worth, although UR stage 3 with race heads cost a little bit more than that:) cheers, john

Great result from Heffner performance! look forward to the TT Huracans from all tuners posting more great times as the platform moves to higher power levels. cheers, john

Hi Leo, you forgot to mention the body organs that you might have to sell as well:) Fantastic car, but I will stick with my G. At least I can park that in the city:) cheers, john

Hi m6power, big credit to you for competing. Traction can be a problem with supercharged engines from my personal experience as torque comes on straight away low down and as you know, once you break traction you go nowhere in a hurry. With the tt lambos with staged boost in each gear this helps maintain traction through each gear. Even my humble UGR stage 3 on pump gas with boost by gear ran 188mmph at wgf ,sulphur springs with good traction all the way down the strip after a crappy start- fell asleep at the Christmas tree-very embarrassing. You cant beat the low down torque of the supercharger once you are rolling and supercharging has strong support from canyon carvers who like the low down punch:) Again, great that you are competing in the spirit of the event. cheers, john

On the LP TT Gallardos, the rolling anti-lag is a little more primitive than the Huracan. Left foot on brake and right foot on accelerator till engine loads up and then promptly release brake! Duhawks is a master at this along with KC and others cheers, john

Hi Vlad, welcome to the forum! great car and great colour! Same as my old 2006, still in Perth:) cheers, john

yes, its the old saying since the first modified car 100 years ago. "how fast do you want to go? how much money do you have?" cheers, john

According to the Lamborghini Huracan website, 30 series front and rear. http://www.lamborghini.com/en/models/hurac...specifications/ It does appear the new Huracan awd system tolerates a 5.4% difference between front and rear tyre diameters and rolling circumference according to tire rack. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?ti...mp;autoModClar= cheers, john

Hi Formula GT, wheels look good. Can you advise what tyres you are running. cheers, john

Hi Mike, I know you will achieve the magic 200mph:) If I was still in the states , I would have rolled up in my UGR LP 1275-4. best of luck. cheers, john

Great photos kevin! Seeing the reaction of South Charlotte residents to one Lambo while there, I can only imagine the reaction to seeing four all at once! Re the SV, I was at Houston 'Coffee and Cars' on 6 December with my Gallardo and only thing better than one SV Aventador was two of them:) A couple of lesser vehicles were there as well e.g. Pagani Huayra and ThethetheFerrari I also had the opportunity to 'feel the force' with my newest best friend cheers, john

Based on the above data and assuming both tyres were new, according to tire rack specs, the AWD rolling diameter front and rear difference was 3.0%. This is less than the maximum allowable difference of 4% for Audi /Lambos, so front diff should not have overheated. The speed shown is a touch optimistic as oem speedometers over read from my lambo/audi experience by about 3%, so more likely 325 km/hr, the gps top speed for a Huracan. Just my two cents worth, cheers, john

Hi Woosh, Apologies for late reply, but have been busy driving across your wonderful country:) After bodega bay, CA then drove to Palo Alto/mountain view-s. bay area then pebble beach, then LA/Anaheim, then Lordsburg NM, Houston,-Coffee and Cars, Little Rock AK, Memphis TN, now in Oak Ridge TN and will drive tail of the dragon and diamondback to get back to Charlotte Tuesday night. The 'scenic' drive down tail of the dragon and diamondback should provide some more info on whether superchargers or turbos are better for canyon carving:) Also how good is the 390mm Alcon front steel rotor upgrade! I will post pics when get back to charlotte/UGR and final mileage covered . cheers, john

Hi woosh, you are correct. Normal Stage 3 is 67 mm turbos. I am trialling 62 mm turbos primarily to lower the revs at which boost comes on line. It looks like 3500rpm to me. On the dyno on race gas seeing 1250 whp, the limit for the street ceramic clutch I am running for 'daily driver' driveability. I can confirm clutch feels like oem. Cheers, john

Hi all, I have to chip in here. On my trip around the USA, I fortuitously managed to be at the WGF event at Suplhur Springs having driven my right hand drive 2011 LP560-4 UGR stage 3 with race heads from UGR Charlotte shop to Sulphur Springs , 1200 miles on 93 octane pump gas in two days. I then entered the WGF event on Sunday, UGR kindly fitted a set of R888's to my car and of course still on pump gas ,as cant drive around the US on MS109, I ran about six times down the strip. My best speed as launches were not perfect , was a 'captain slow' 188.1mph for the standing start half mile, but I am very pleased with this as running 62 mm turbos and pump gas. I was privileged to see the runs of the UGR green Huracan, R8 and Kevin's red Huracan. A great event and credit to the organisers and all competitors. I also got the chance to meet, Leo, Mark, Dustin and Gidi:) I then left the track and on my refitted winter tyres continued my tour to San Francisco via Houston, Austin, Roswell, White Sands, Truth or Consequence, Route 66, Las Vegas, Palm Springs, Death Valley, Yosemite, Bakersfield, Sonoma, Bodega, Sacramento and now about to arrive in South San Francisco on Sunday.- some gratuitous photos attached with more detailed separate post on the trip to follow. The car has not missed a beat, engine and clutch run like an oem daily driver under 3500rpm and I am averaging 20mpg, with the occasional pull, where safe:) Over 3,500 rpm, it is hang onto the steering wheel and focus on the road ahead which rushes toward you at an alarming pace, I give you the big tip:) The car's TT setup is a testament to the reliability of the UGR build and the performance delivered and I am truly impressed!. Just my two cents worth from a street driven Lamborghini Gallardo UGR TT driven at the track by the owner. cheers, john

I had a look at Tony's gtr engine bay at wanna go fast. see attached picture It is a fine piece of engineering and Tony should be proud of his car as it is the fastest GTR35 over the half mile. I also hear that Tony is a great guy and competitor and participates in these events in the spirit of which they are run. As duhawks says, to my eyes, this is not a street GTR, but a very fast car indeed. just my two cents worth, cheers, john

Hi dirty, Quite a stable indeed with a lot of horses packed into it conservatively, I estimate about 9,000 horses! cheers, john

Hey Mike, don't talk about my wife like that ! Only joking- she is watching as I type and kicking me in the shin in a kind caring way of course!! cheers, john
