vuong05 Report post Posted March 19, 2017 Congrats to Gidi. And to do it in front of that crowd was also pretty cool to see. As soon as the Lambo platform figures out the DCT transmission, I'm sure UGR will be right there with all the big boy GTR's. 2017 is shaping up to be quite a year.

Well, Kevin streamed it live on facebook right from the lane. Pretty sure it reinforced his desire to go back out there to a 1/4 mile with the shop car Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambofan35 Report post Posted March 19, 2017 Congrats Gidi! He doesn't come on the forums much but I hope he will more often. I was at Pbir recently when he probably ran the first 6 second 1/4 mile and the board didn't show the time....he was so upset as he wanted to be first. It's a huge relief knowing he finally got the 6 he and AM S deserved. Very well done guys. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstonT Report post Posted March 22, 2017 What an awesome event, the caliber of cars was insane!!!! The qualifying speeds have gotten exponentially faster. In 2016, the slowest car to make it into the ladders was 149 mph. This year, the slowest car to get in to the ladders went 172 mph! Crazy..... Seeing the UR Huracan and R8 in person is humbling. Those cars put the power down so f'in hard on a street tire, that it doesn't look like real life. My lil ol' stage 3 went 183 mph! I'm happy about that...

Frosty Report post Posted March 22, 2017 Dope video ASS put together on the run: And credit to ETS and T1 too for pushing the limits. ETS was chasing the 6 HARD. They were at 7.01 back in November and have been at it since. I lost count of how many parts they destroyed in the process. All part of the game. So much dedication from that crew to be in the running. I have massive respect all 3 shops and teams. It's been amazing to watch and follow over the past few years. And lastly, Gidi's run was insanity. All the GTR records that were coming close were north of 200mph (record sits at 213). When everyone saw the trap on Gidi's run, NO ONE thought he had it. Not even Gidi as he was hitting the limiter in 5th and wasn't happy with the run. Then everyone saw the time and you saw the reaction in the video. So cool to be there in person, it was absolutely insane. It took a lot to get the platform from 7s to 6s. Really interested to see what UGR and the other shops do on the Huracan platform. I'm not sure if it's physically possible, but if UGR does it at full weight with a DCT and street tires I will be speechless. The GTRs in the low 7s and the Alpha G are bordering on being called a GTR at this point. The full weight street cars are still in the upper 7s mostly.

DirtyD916 Report post Posted March 22, 2017 Awesome job for Gidi and super excited for them. What are the full weight GTRs running as that is a much better comparison. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstonT Report post Posted March 22, 2017 The quickest/fastest Huracan was the chrome green OB car, ran 8.7@165 The most "comparable" GTR's that are full weight, etc......were likely the GTR Class 3 cars (rules at www.tx2k.com), in the finals they ran: 7.7@183 and [email protected] was one hell of a race, the slower time won the race on a hole shot. They are legit 185-190 mph cars and are "street-able". I would say that the UGR Huracan that ran the 7 is more streetable though...although i'm not sure why i feel that way. Maybe cause it's ALLLLLLLLLLL street, down to the street tires....the GTR's running that quick/fast have much more of a drag/safety look (slicks/parachute/etc...)

VentadorGER Report post Posted March 22, 2017 I just noticed UGR Huracan video 7.80 at 187 was done about a YEAR ago. I really wonder just how much testing and developing went on and at what level they are now. They´re very good at keeping things under the radar until the competition catches up and then boom UGR is already 5 steps ahead once again Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underground Racing Report post Posted March 23, 2017 Yeah I remember UGR saying the red Huracan was being upgraded to an X-version last April Unfortunately with all the 1/2 mile and roll racing going on and on top of that averaging around 60 projects at all times, there has not been anytime for our shop car or 1/4 mile racing. ;( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATL_ Report post Posted March 23, 2017 If you want to go 6s in a gtr first you better have 6 sets of tires, 6 billet motors, 6 tranny, 6 bottles of nos, and 6 million dollars lol. Those 7-9 guys chasing 6s are nuts. I love it! I hope Gidi can get it! I think that is true for any car. 6s is so damn fast.

houstonT Report post Posted March 23, 2017 Hey brother, no, I didn't...hell, i didn't even make ONE hit during the roll race event.....Kevin had to run it just so I could see what she would run. We had 23,000 people come through the gates during TX2K17 so I could barely find time to use the RR!!!!

utahviper Report post Posted March 23, 2017 Awesome event Peter! It was great to meet you And all the major players at the event. My car was too slow to even qualify 😢. I ran out of gear, plenty more power but it was right at the finish line👎. Gonna have to sell the gallardo and upgrade to huracan😬 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
