Charlie Report post Posted September 10, 2010 That was extremely embarrassing for the crap G and Lambo. Cars should not have even been put together for the show. To turn it around it would be like taking a FGT with some light mods and taking a GTT against it = not a fair race. FGT are great cars and the FGT definitely looked great in the show. Does anyone know what happened to the G for the motor to fail? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR Report post Posted September 10, 2010 There are vids of that around.. . the show sucks but for some reason i watch it. they should compare stock cars with other stock cars. and similarly modded cars with modded cars.. also, Allan, you should post a thread or link to ALL of your vids.. .

russoboards Report post Posted September 12, 2010 . they should compare stock cars with other stock cars. and similarly modded cars with modded cars.. also, Allan, you should post a thread or link to ALL of your vids.. . I agree with JR's statement - IMO an example of a good matchup would be UGR's F430TT vs a GTT ??? saw the F430TT on youtube last night dont know how old it was but the car in the vid sounded like it means business Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easy888 Report post Posted September 12, 2010 Yes, ive gotten this info also. Does it have anything to do with the engine upgrades or some other shit? Does anyone know that much?

Assman Report post Posted September 12, 2010 Does it have anything to do with the engine upgrades or some other shit? Does anyone know that much? (Techocraft makes performance upgrade parts right?) Technocraft makes cf parts. The Gallardo only had a bumper, wing, and airbox on it. Those were made by technocraft. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Report post Posted September 12, 2010 Technocraft makes cf parts. The Gallardo only had a bumper, wing, and airbox on it. Those were made by technocraft. I chalked it up to probably miles, age, and usage. That Technocraft company press car has likely been beat to shit as a loaner to all sort of TC partners, vendors, suppliers, friends, and god knows who else. When it blew I wasn't surprised in the least, though I did find it comical in the context of that episode. There have been other high-mileage Gallardos that have had engines go for the usual reasons (as happens to all mfgs). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin2772 Report post Posted September 13, 2010 Which is exactly why I would NEVER let a car I owned do a show like that. I mean they push them to the limits when they are filming, god knows what happens after. So you reconsidering your 'no' now allan? I think you can trust them to take good care of your car...

03murci Report post Posted September 13, 2010 Well I have experience racing 2 FGT's .. One in my SLR that was whipple supercharged and from a roll on my stock SLR was able to run him down, and SECC Joes GT2 destroyed.... And the second is Alto, whom we ran on my first GTT kit and destroyed, I believe he is around 650rwhp.. Sorry Alto..Just sticking up for my Brethren Oh actually 3... raced another FGT with bolt ons in my stock SLR and beat that too... There are vids of that around.. Curiously, have you ever taken your SLR to the 1/4 mile drag strip? If so, what did it trap? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

03murci Report post Posted September 14, 2010 128.7 That's good.. Makes me wonder why buddy, no matter what he did, could not trap over 122 with his bone stock SLR. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roncfpz Report post Posted September 14, 2010 My point is that they basicly raced a stock 500hp car against a 700hp modded car... Pretty much sums it up right there. Not a "fair fight" and certainly does not take anything away from the FGT. That was a badass FGT on the show. And wow, that wing on the G was so bad.

I'll relay the information. It e/t'd 11.2 but would only ever trap 122. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
