Underground Racing Report post Posted July 22, 2016 Thought we would throw out this quick teaser of the first 2017 R8 Twin Turbo R8 on the planet. Track testing went great the first time out. It also didn't take long to understand that these monster R8s are basically a Lamborghini Huracan undercover. We are torn on which car we like the best. Huge thanks to John Reed for quickly getting our new R8 MoTeC M1 setup and custom firmware completed. Stay tuned as more information will be released soon.

What's going on with those lately.

They aren't confident in what they ran. Makes no sense. Be a man. Say what you ran and be proud. That's fast. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Report post Posted August 8, 2016 GTRs are pigs. Kind of crazy they've come this far. Even with lexan windows and stripped interiors they are still weighing it at 3,600 - 3,700+ lbs. If you did the to an SL you'd come it at what? 2,700? Anyways that was totally OT. Going to be fun watching UGR R8s battle UGR Huracans to take the 1/4 mile crown.

Don't get confused, gtrs weigh 300lbs-400bs more stock vs stock gallardos. Gtrs can be much lighter then what you may expect. Meanwhile an SL never gets below 3400lbs full of fuel.

Meanwhile an SL never gets below 3400lbs full of fuel. Really? GTRs are 3,800 - 3,900 lbs and I thought SLs were closer to 3,000. But you are right, I just checked and SLs weight in closer to 3,350 lb. Still a healthy margin but not nearly as much as I thought.
