^^^ at one point in the video, as he is shifting to the next gear you can hear it rev super high (almost like a missed shift from a MT) even though the car is E gear. Did anyone else catch that?

 

If he missed a gear, he would fall back VERY fast. The car was revving super high cause he was losing traction. I read that this Gallardo was converted to RWD only. That can explain some of the reason why it can't hook up worth a damn. I wonder what will happen with 250 more hp. More loss of traction?

 

That makes a lot more sense, RWD and 1200+ Hp... No traction.

 

No, the Lambo is still AWD. As shown below, GT-Rs also have better aerodynamics than Gallardos. Not to mention more intelligent awd systems and exponentially quicker transmissions.

Gallardo
Cd 0.34
Frontal area 1.95 meters^2
CdA = 0.663

GT-R
Cd 0.27
Frontal area 2.09 meters^2
CdA 0.564

The fact is, HP to HP, the GT-Rs are faster.

808whp Gallardo vs 770 whp GT-R:

The UGR car needs to invest in Anything that will help with traction....just simply could not get all that power down

 

Well, to be fair...the GT-R driver thought his redline was 7k rpm, when it was actually 8k rpm...so he was only using around 1100 awhp during the race (his car makes 1200 awhp at 8k rpm). We can rationalize and make excuses for both sides all we want, but the fact is, the TTG lost, even with a 300+ lb weight advantage.

I'll run a 1600 whp TTG in TX next year. I expect I'll lose, as that's probably too much of a HP discrepancy for me to deal with, but I'll give it my best shot. And no, you won't hear me making excuses or rationalizing if I lose.

Your car is an absolute monster! Can't wait to see what it can do in the mile!

 

I won't be competing in the Mile, bro. Just the night events.

 

Then I can't wait to see what it does in the night events! lol

 

That Gallardo is AWD? Why is he having such a hard time putting down 1250hp when other UGR Gallardo's are putting down 1500hp just fine. It's not pulling as hard as it should be.

Regarding the GT-R, I guess you're right. It's a freakin' beast. I just can't stand the way they look lol. And if you have a GT-R that does 9.0 quarter mile, damn that's impressive.
