  1. I hope the owner of the Ford GT do it right! Not with that truck-based engine (90.2 mm bore, 105.8 mm stroke). I would put a Yates RY45, boost it and call it a day.
  2. May I bump this thread? Just my 0.02 cents... I've observed the growing dominance of the Gallardo's TT program by UGR and it's mind boggling on where the set-up has brought them. For that, I applaud UGR and its promising future. Ever since the knowledge of the Aventador came out, I soon looked at the engine specs and lo and behold the excitement arose in within because finally my ideal set-up for an engine has been applied. What is it? Simple. The bore is BIGGER than the stroke. Thanks to Maurizio Reggiani!!! Now it can rev! The way I look at it, if I want an all-out roll-racing set-up, I would leave the bore and stroke size stock and run the longest connecting rod possible and move the piston pin as high as possible to get the rod length. With this, less cylinder wall side loading and internal reciprocating drag goes down. Anyhow, I saw that many Gallardo TT's are being sold and IF the sole reason for owners to sell is to acquire a Huracan TT 2R. Great! Well, displacement is still the same. 1300 cc less than the Aventador. I made my point... Displacement…I think it's also a historical fact that the GTRs can never beat Gallardos. Let alone the Aventador. Period! The world of high-horsepower cars will never be the same when a Aventador 2R comes out. In roll-racing, displacement and brute horsepower rules and this where I think the Aventador will shine. RPMs win!
  3. Maybe that's the reason why Costco ran out of white towels. I heard A16 & A20 GTR owners took them all! Lol! Game over!
  4. This should be an epic battle!
  5. Your write-up says a lot about your passion and I am glad it exceeded your utmost expectations. Thank you, sir for sharing your experience! You may eat your words later about "NO MORE PERFORMANCE mods." I think time will only tell when your body adapts to the 2R and want something more! Lol! Enjoy!
  6. I believe it's SW's' car that went 233 mph. Correct me if I'm wrong. Nevertheless, amazing feat!!! Can't wait for tomorrow's results. I read in FB that SW and his crew will run early and hit the road by 11:30 am.
  7. There is NO valid reason to race when there's no challenge. Seems logical for duhawks to find and race that turbo bike that he's talking about. Turbo bikes are no joke. This bike might be the closest competition to a 2R: . Looks like this owner lives in Southern California. I am sure there are many turbo bikes near to any 2R owners. Let the race begin!!!
  8. Always a pleasure to see these builds
  9. Yeah, it's not a whole lot when compared to a bored-out/stroked GTR but for the Supra, it's another story. I think the V10 configuration does play a big role when it comes to heat and vibration. The firing order of a V10 is so much smoother. My only pet peeve on the Gallardo is the stroke bigger than the bore. Not like the Aventador, which I think was the best engine spec that came out from the factory. Its bore is bigger than the stroke (high RPMs). I am more anxious on what UGR will do to a fully sung Aventador 2R. When they do, I think it will be the one to have or in my case, to dream about. Hehehe... Well, I only saw a glimpse of the "X" so I guess who knows what the future holds. Good times!
  10. I thought driving my brother's 1100+ hp Supra was crazy enough but seeing this video brings a lot of respect for these exotic cars and owners. Gallardo and R8 are great platforms (mid-engine) especially when they have 10 cylinders to play with. Supra and GTR owners can only dream of having more displacement or cylinders. Maybe it's the sole reason why more wiser individuals invest on these cars...more potential. Chick magnets! LOL! Every event (TX2K, TI...) I followed, it seems more UGR 2Rs are attending and going home with trophies and a huge smile on their faces. That's it I'm buying one haha!
  11. I always admire these cars arriving to new owners with renewed power. Must be life changing Enjoy!
