  2. How Much You think Huracan Will Cost?

    in Archived Content

    Posted

    Base 240k and fully optioned at 280k. Count on it

    I am not so sure there is such a thing as MSRP on any Lambos. I have seen huge price swings based on market and demand. Emotional demand will cost a bundle.

    When the market was tough in 2009 a new lp5604 had a sticker of 240 but could be bought for 210.

    The market now however is quite hot and I suspect the Huracan will be 240-280 sticker. Wait a bit and 215 cash will buy you a base car.

    Just my 2 cents.

    My lp5604 2009 was 248 sticker and I paid 188 with 900 miles.

    I love these cars and I will own a slightly used Huracan in 2 years!

     

  3. Are electric pumps safe?

    I think I am going to stick with the manual pump VP sells. If the barrel is elevated a couple of feet, a few pumps and the fuel will syphon until you stop it. Having drag raced 25 years, this has been a good solution and any electrical near a fuel tank is a little frightening to me. I am sure that the latest gadgets are great, but I am going to stay old school.

  5. What would be a fair price on this Aventador?

    I just had to comment on this post.

    There are a few that have not had to work for their money and to 2007 Gallardo, it appears that you may be one of them.

    Then there is the group that worked their ass off and appreciate the value of money. I don't care how much you are worth, $20,000 is why we are where we are.....because we were careful and count our money carefully.

    If you are foolish enough to not care, then you have either inherited the cash, or not earned it.

    Just my 2 cents. (sense)

    Would boost by gear eliminate the need to peddle it???

     

    Do you have the Upgraded Clutch (Tilton)??? Any issues???

     

    Are you still using the factory launch control??? Probably not if you're having to peddle it ........

    The boost by gear was an option and is still under serious consideration. Having come from the drag-strip, pedaling was a way of life, so its kind of fun attempting to get the toyos to stick. I upgraded to a ceramic clutch and we are still experimenting. It is my understanding that the ceramics hold the HP and time will tell if this is the best choice. The Tilton I am told is a little more difficult to modulate on the street.

    Anyhow, I could not be more pleased and the folks at UGR could not be more helpful.

    Well Ladies and gentlemen......I arrived at UGR on Wednesday to witness the dyno runs and test drive my "new" lp560 with the stage 2 set up.

    Let me back up a bit. I had never met Kevin or K.C before with exception of some very informative telephone conversations and email exchanges. Kevin assisted me with hotel reservations and was kind enough to transport me back and forth to his 2 shops. He and K.C. spent the entire day with me, explaining the set up and were extremely accommodating.

    The build and quality of parts was outstanding. These folks do not cut any corners. The installation is quite a work of art. That all being said, the proof is in the pudding.

    We started out on 93 octane and the car dynoed at over 950 wheel HP....100 more than advertised. Then came the test drive. I have been drag racing most of my life, with my last car running mid 9's on the quarter...so I did not expect to be terribly impressed. I was wrong. The car pulled very hard in all gears and acted like stock when driven sensibly. We then returned to the shop and put in C-16 VP fuel, at no extra cost I might add, and put the car back on the dyno. The boost was increased and when we went over 1200 HP, i kindly requested that that was quite enough and declined any further boost.

    We then again went for a test drive and it was simply amazing. Even with the ultra sticky Toyos I had them put on, we left very distinctive black lines behind the car in 3rd gear.

    Back at the shop, they loaded me up with UGR goodies and went over the car with a fine toothed comb to ensure the quality install proved its muster.

    I drove from Charlotte to Nashville without a hiccup and blew away a few crotch rockets on the way.

    Expensive...yes. Quality....exceptional. Customer service....outstanding.

    If any of you are holding out on a TT build.....all I can say is....life is short....enjoy!!!

  17. Thinking on 09 lp560 tt build

    in Archived Content

    Posted

    I have an 09 LP560 that I am seriously considering the TT option. Jason at Hefner has been very helpful with questions.

    I would like very much to hear from anyone with an LP560 build from Heffner, to share the experience and the final outcome.

    While I am hesitant, I want to be sure that I will not face any unexpected "issues" other than warranty loss.

    Thanks!
