  12. Texas Mile... The Prediction Thread

    in Automobili Lamborghini

    Posted

    Your post is a complete lie.

     

    My car is the black UGR Gallardo with the fully polished HRE comp wheels. There were no parts taken off my car period. We did change plugs (which on a gallardo requires some effort).

     

    I went 232.8, got my 200mph t-shirt x 4 :) All 4 of my runs were over 200mph and I met all my goals. I spun on one of my runs to 11,000rpm+ and possibly burned a valve in my car. I have 2 children that I do not want to leave fatherless, so I decided to not risk any potential failure and shut my car down for the event. My car had a TON more in it. I look forward to the next Texas Mile, and we will learn from this experience and come back more prepared and better than ever. If you question my guts, then come out and try and beat me. I promise you will go home a loser :)

     

    Kyle (Orange UGR TT Gallardo) went 241.6. Sit back and think about that for a minute....first time EVER at the mile, and Kyle and UGR came within 5mph of the overall record! That is unbelievable! Congrats to Kyle for driving an amazing run, and to Kevin, KC, Carl, Matt, Claudio, and the rest of the UGR team for building the fastest lamborghini on earth!

     

    I have seen quite a few negative comments. To everyone with a negative comment: It takes a GREAT amount of preparation, engineering, experience, and flat out guts to go where no one has gone before. Please keep your negative comments to yourself. I am an amateur driver and the father of 2 children. I put a lot on the line to run my car faster than anyone in a Lamborghini Gallardo before (My 233mph run Friday was the fastest at the time for a Gallardo at an official event...). Kyle (Orange UGR TT) and Grant (Yellow UGR TT) did the same.

     

    We had a BLAST, and every race team at the event was impressed at what UGR and its owners did. All 3 owners of the cars drove their own cars! No pro drivers etc. That to me is impressive. I have the most respect for Grant and Kyle, and I'm sure we will be lifelong friends.

     

    I encourage everyone to come out to participate in this event, its the most fun I have ever had in a car! Vbox bench racing is lame. Put up, or shutup bench racers. :)

    I think its hilarious that the only lambo-power stickers were on a glorified beetle, and a toyota :)

     

     

    Thanks for showing the world Lamborghinis aren't just street queens. Let's see some Ferrari's at these events! Again, I think with some modifications I think the Gs have a very good chance at the street record title. Maybe lightweight modifications, taller tires, RWD setup only, etc. Congrats again!!

    The Gallardos are impressive being it is their first time out! They have a good chance at making huge improvements if they come out to the next TX Mile. Big props for getting some real exotics out to the mile!

     

    Supras are even more impressive as they are from a 20 year old Japanese design with a lot less cylinders and displacement compared to the rest of the competition. Plus they are extremely heavy compared to the rest of the cars running stock and the aerodynamics isn't as good as well. This is exactly the reason why I created the Culture Shock Camaro with the 2JZ in it making over 1,000HP! ;) We ran a 1997 Toyota Supra at the TX mile a year ago with a original motor with over 100k miles on it with only bolt on parts and managed 198mph (motor was never rebuilt at the time). I don't think there are many cars that can manage that without breaking, especially given the age and mileage on the motor.
