Underground Racing Twin-Turbo Gallardo
 
As much as I hate to do it, I've decided to sell my Underground Racing TTG given that I am about to have 3 kids in college and am in the process of buying another condo for one of them. Here is a basic description of the car, and I'll follow that with a summary of my ownership/experience with the car and some pics and a dyno sheet.

The car is a 2004 (note: May '04 production, not a launch or early production car), Black on black, 24k miles, loaded except for nav (E-gear, clear bonnet, full electric seats, coming home, etc.). The turbo system is identical to the setup that was on the Underground Verde Ithaca car with 62mm billet turbos, AEM, boost controller, etc. I can get a full description of the turbo system and related components if someone wants one. The car made 650 rwhp at 4 psi on pump gas, 814 rwhp at 8 psi on race gas, and 950 rwhp at 10 psi on race gas. Upgrades, other than the turbo system, include I-Forged three-piece wheels (19 front/20 rear) with hyperblack centers and gloss black lips, Continental Conti Sport Contact 3 tires with plenty of tread left, RSC LP560 style bumper w/clear bra, carbon fiber engine compartment trim, '07+ steering wheel and airbag cover, an Optima battery, and probably some other things I'm forgetting at the moment. The car had a new F series clutch installed in late '07 at 17k miles, and the last E-gear snap done about 1k miles ago showed only 1mm of wear, so there is still plenty of clutch left. The car also has the latest E-gear software and drives smoothly.

As far as my experience with the car, I have had no problems or issues with it at all either before or after the turbo install, with one minor exception. The exception wasn't really an issue because it didn't and may not ever have caused me a problem, but was something I found because I'm pretty anal about inspecting things. So one day I was going over the underside of the car and touched my E-gear hose and noticed it was damp. The fluid level in the E-gear reservoir was fine, and the hose wasn't dripping or anything, and after doing some research I found out that a number of cars had minor leaks at the quick-connect up near the reservoir, and that Lamborghini had redesigned the quick-connect as a result. So rather than leaving it alone and keeping an eye on it, I took the car to the dealer and had them replace the hose and quick-connect, and it's been dry as a bone since. The oil and filter were changed when Underground did the turbo install about 1,500 miles ago.

I bought the car in '08 from a Porsche dealer in NC, who was very familiar with the prior local owner who was a good customer of theirs (I think he traded it on a GT3 RS). When I went to look at it, I was amazed at the condition of the paint (especially being black), and I have several friends who own exotics who can't believe the car has over 20k miles on it given the lack of swirl marks etc. The paint could easily pass for a 5k mile or less car, and the interior looks and smells new. My original intent was to drive it last summer with the stock engine and then have the engine built over the winter, but the car drives so well as it is, and has plenty of power for what I do with it, so I decided just to leave it alone. However, if someone is interested and really wants a built motor, I'm sure I can work a deal with Underground to get it in and out quickly.

I have not tracked the car or beat on it at all; just the occasional WOT blast. Price is $139,900, and feel free to call with any questions.

My friend Kyle has an orange Underground TTG in Knoxville that went 242 mph in the standing mile. Don't know if you'd want to ride with him or not though. :dizzy:

Best thing to do if you're seriously interested in going that route is get in touch with me and let me work it out with Underground as part of the sale. It would likely be a lot less than you think.

RedGTS 05-24-2010 03:02 PM

The car is now at Underground if anyone lives near or will be passing through the Charlotte area and wants to take a look at it.

C&L_CamB 06-12-2010 05:16 PM

That is one impressive car!

Actually got a deposit on it about 10 days ago. Should know whether it's gone for sure in another week or so.
