800 HP Ford Option SuperSnake for 2012

WTF do they do for a living to afford that...jesus...

Dealer?

And no, I'm not talking about selling used Lambos either.

WOW!!! That TT Lambo was a MONSTER!!!

My favorite part was the guy doing 180+ on a bike with a t-shirt and jeans on. Good job, dude. I guess gear wouldn't really protect you at that speed anyway, but you have to at least try, don't you?

Trust fund babies?

Probably..

or that.

Well a couple years ago the wep of choice up in Dallas against bikes was TT tuned Supras putting down those same numbers.

crazy stuff

I will preface my thoughts by saying the Lambo is my all-time favorite car. That being said, the TT in the vid is damn fast, but cost an additional ~$100k to beat a $15k (stock trim) bike.

Keeping all things relative, with today's technology, I think it's fair to say that if you throw enough money at just about anything, it will beat something else.

So I'm not surprised to see that if you pour ~$350k into a late model sports car, especially a Lambo w/ TT, that it will eventually beat a bike the way the Lambo did.

Now, if you take a stock Lambo @ ~$250k vs. my $10k '05 1KRR, the results in the video would be reversed. I wouldn't need a Busa or Turbo to win that race.

To add even more fuel to the equation, I'm very curious how a late model World Superbike, which would be much lighter than a Busa, probably better gearing, putting out ~225 hp, would fare against that Lambo.

It doesn't take a Lambo to beat a bike , though you do it with more style in the Lambo.

You can spend < $20k on any old Mustang, C5 Corvette, Supra, etc, put in $20k parts if you do the labor and tuning yourself, and go to town.

Many of the 10.5 outlaw cars (3-4 second 1/8 mile cars) are packing 2000+ HP. All youd need to do is change the gearing for highway roll racing.

So let's look at this from a different perspective, this is a <$500K car that can beat a $2M car (Bugatti Veyron). It also slaps around a Busa WITH a shot of Nitrous! That's absolutely crazy. What is even more insane...it does it with street tires!!

This is the sound of Underground...

It also did the Texas mile @ 250 mph!

Now see if you can do that with street tires. The awesome thing about this Lambo is that it looks like a stock Lambo until it's go time.

If I had the coin to buy a Lambo, my first stop would be at these guys' shop.



Oh yeah, and these guys apparently do this for living (mod super cars). I guess that is where they get their money.

Wrong. IRS in the 03/04 Cobras can handle that all day. Ive never heard of a CV failure at all, much less a failure due strictly to brute power and component stress. Only popped diff covers (where the rear mount is) and broken axles between the inner CV and differental housing at the end of the splines, both a result of the diff housing twisting too much as a result of not being securely mounted to the sub frame. All failures with the IRS are due to soft bushings and mounts that allow things to flex too much and operate in extreme angles. There are hardly any IRS failures in 8-9 sec Cobras caused by sheer power and weak parts. The CV half shafts are VERY strong and work fine.

Securing the differental pumpkin to the subframe with unmoving aluminum bushings eliminates 99.9% of IRS failures, the other .1% is the same for solid axles: just parts variance and luck just like anything else.

Its scary watching a Cobra IRS with worn diff mounts on a drive on lift letting the clutch out with the parking brake on and seeing just how much the center pumpkin can move around, let alone with an 800 lb ft drag launch on slicks on VHT. No axle is goin to survive when it's splined end is snapped nearly 90 degs suddenly.

That's usually the problem with any IRS system...once things happen like wheel hop and the like the geometry changes enough to cause the issues.

With a solid axle everything is more or less locked in perfect geometry to itself.

The Cobra Terminators were hardly the test bed for all of FRS...it was a great model that is all.
