Best Kill!!!

Perhaps he wasn't really trying that hard? the Aventador does need a break in period of 2-3k before they should really be driven hard. Regardless a nice run by another AMG car!

I love this kind of personal account: killing lighter, way more expensive semi-track cars on a straight. Sure, our GT cars can't beat them at turns, but it's still satisfying to kill them on a straight. I can't imagine the potential when MB turns to DCT and LSD for all the AMG cars.
By the way, I wonder where you're located to have the room to go at those kind of speed.

E63 biturbo
No way that a car which is not trying hard can stay with a modded CLS63 biturbo until 290kmh.

I am not sure my tuner believes we are in the range of plus or minus 850HP on the crank now, when we took her to the dyno the boost drops by 0.3bar my last dyno was 659whp on dyno jet with the drop, on the same dyno when stock I had a reading of 520whp or so, and from that dyno run we have added more cooling system advanced the timing and some more boost. Sorry I hope it makes sense but those are the numbers that I have. If it helps on the same dyno my friend's CLS with a tune no cats and a large heat exchanger dynoed 589WHP

I don't think you can underestimate the potential of our cars but you must know that driving from a roll of 70mph in a straight line doesn't need rocket science to drive a lambo or any other automatic car, stomp on the gas will give you your best possible outcome just to put some numbers in the formula my car clocked 7.2 seconds 60-130mph on the driftbox in 102F! renntech clocked 10.7 seconds quarter mile and had a 7.6 seconds 60-130mph! I have done it with normal everyday tires not drags and I don't have a locking deferential on my car not even the one offered by AMG and no skinnies up front!!

Also, I don't believe that you would run down the lambo unless the guy was a complete *****. Sorry, but I am governed by the laws of physics.

you should read up on the Aventador
2.8 0-60
1/4 in mid 10's
and as i said they need a 2-3k break in period

umm ok??? but maybe you should read the posters story closer- the lambo was running at that speed and the cls caught up and went by- PERHAPS the lambo driver stopped pushing. don't read anything more into it. still a great run by an awesome AMG car.

1/4 mile and 0-60 times are based on launching, and Aventandor has advantage of 4WD. Whats more indicative of rolling performance is the trap speed, and according to www.dragtimes.com, an Aventador traps 133mph which is not far off the Renntech CLS63 on stock turbos.

Guys you aren't getting it right let's start all over again, first in the law of physics I have more HP more TQ and I am not exactly driving a G-Wagen! And yes my engine and tranny is fully under warranty from my tuner!
The race, I was driving behind the lambo doing speeds of 120-140km "cruising" when the lambo guy nailed his car I nailed my car just as I heard the thing do it's back shift! I started closing the gap took the lane next to him as I was passing him and after I have got the lead of one car length, I had the chance to see the speedometer where I was at 290km, and if the lambo stopped pushing I think the gap would have been 10 cars at that speed. I believe if a lambo looses a race it doesn't mean the driver does not know how to drive his car! Whenever someone buys a car the first thing is learn how the thing works! Don't blame it on the driver cuz you think my car isn't fast, and the lambo owner is in his early mid 20's so I am sure he will know how the thing works.
I shared my story cuz it's one of a kind I don't expect everyone would believe me, I don't care, I care to be an AMG fanatic I will make a video I promise, I am sure the Aventador would beat me from a dig but I might have a chance to close the gap! But from a roll god bless AMG that Aventadore will look good in my rear view mirror!

I beat a Bugatti veyron once in a McDonalds parking lot,
in a Hummer. We were both going for the drive up window to order.
Had him the whole way.

Just couple of hours ago I raced the ultimate performance car 2012 Aventador, small info on my car I have upgraded turbos, larger heat exchangers, 3" exhaust and one amazing tune I was driving back home when on the highway an Aventador came in through one of the exits, I straight away got all excited and was driving on his tail, we where driving at speeds of 120-140km there was some cars around so I couldn't get my car next to his, all of a sudden the bull just went full on his throttle, as I heard his car shift down I went on my throttle! At that point there was about 2 car lengths between us I didn't expect the outcome, I was closing the gap at the same time thinking to myself is this guy really pushing it! I take the right lane next to him as I hear the Lambo screaming while I pass it slowly at 290km I was a full car ahead of the Aventador I still can't get over the excitement and wanted to share my kill with you guys I will install a camera system in my car for future encounters
Thanks GAD-Motors you guys rock

Ok I am not sure what's the drag difference are maybe someone else can chip in this one sorry!
Weight the Aventadore is 300kg heavier that's 640lbs calculates to 64whp. Let's add them up Aventadore is 700hp with 10% drivetrain loss that's 630, so I need to be around 694whp to be dead even!
My car is around 850hp give or take 10hp, with 15% drivetrain loss "although I believe it's less" would be 722.5whp, so 30 odd WHP is good to give you a lead in any race and just for your info my tuner is being very conservative with the numbers! As I said I will do a video as soon as the opportunity comes along
