To be honest,I am shocked by the performance of that SE vs CLS.
I would never expect that much improvement over early Gallardo,I was so disappointed with the performance of my '04 E-Gear next to my daily driver at the time ('03 E55) that I got rid off it after just 3 months.
Based on these vids we are talking different level of performance altogether...

You name it i've had it or got it...
the gallardo would not smoke a cls55 that bad....well at least mine. i have renntech stuff and i have a gallardo....and i know that the gallardo is not that much faster if at all. my 997 turbo pulls on both cars...and still not as bad as that g pulled on that cls63..weird.

A G coupe without a driver with all fluids weighs in at 3,500 #'s with about 10 more HP at the crank. What would make any of you think this would be a close a race ?????? Your talking 1000#'s difference.
I also own a C6 Z06. I'd let allan tell you what happen when I raced his SE in that car but I guess he's banned. Yes...he lost by 1 to 1 1/2 car lengths.
C6 Z06 weight 3,100 #'s with 505 at the crank.........G SE 3500#'s with 520 at the crank. Makes sense. I think I have that video somewhere too. I'll see if I can find it.

Anyone can mod there cars to make them go faster. These cars were raced stock for stock. We have a G owner who just twin turbo'd his G. He'll smoke anything thats out there. He's putting down 750 to the wheels. Not sure if thats all 4 but either way, you get my point.

yeah i hear you...plus my g isn't a se. i have a f430 spider too...and that edges out the g in a race. i have never driven a cls63 either. i just have found from my experience and feel that even stock my 55 was fairly quick. i never really raced anyone when it was stock...i have now after a few mods...including some of my other cars with friends driving...and it is right there with most of them. yes a heffner g is insane...but i think a heffner viper and gt would take that out...lol

As for your buddies car, how can you chuck out the figure 750 "to the wheels" and then say not sure if that's all four. It's an AWD vehicle. Sheesh. Anyway, there are 1000rwhp Vettes and Vipers out there that would crush it so "smoking anything out there" is all talk.

my g is an 05....so maybe that is why it is a little slower....
i didn't realize there was much of a difference compare to the 06 up besides the super leggera or a se and even then i was under the impression they weren't "that much" faster. haven't paid much attention to it...maybe i need to look into it.

Not my M3, try a W220 S65. 4-door limo that would slaughter a G in a straightline.

As for your S65's I've dirven them and the SL 65 and it would not be a slaughter. Once again you need to look at the weights............this will tell you in itself without needing to look at a video. I don't know what your M3 is ?

I understand.............but if it was your car your talking about then it would be a modded car I'm guessing by the looks of you sig. This race we are talking about in this thread is stock vs stock. NO MB car besides the SLR in STOCK form is going to beat out a lambo. The SL 65 vs G coupe race is close, the murcie , not a chance. whats left that is not modded that can touch a F-car or a lambo new lambo ??? Nothing, thats why they are what they are.

It was done but Jason Heffner and there is a dyno of it somwhere. I can find out for sure from him how it was ran on the dyno. I'm pretty sure it was to 2 wheels as 750 to all 4 wheels would require more than he is putting out at the crank. Not sure though I could be wrong, all I know is I saw videos of it running against a Murcie and the Murcie got KILLED.

You're correct it wouldn't be a slaughter if both were stock. On the hwy though the weight becomes less and less important and the AWD and power deficit more so.
Sorry about M3 mix up. I meant to direct that towards "carbon." Lot of newbs to keep up with

My '07 spyder and his G SE ran and he pulled about a half a car on me due to the extra weight in the spyder. Exact same HP and both 6-speeds.

B:My time travel Gallardo which I am picking up on Oct 6th, was purchased several months ago and sent directly to SP Engineering. .....
.....Such is the same with the Gallardo. I purchased it, sent it to SP, modified it, and have yet to have sat in it. The dyno confirmed, that brand new, unbroken in, the SE makes approx 50hp at the crank more than an 04/05 Gallardo. We then proceeded to test an intake, and exhausts on my car which were claimed to make power, and with the real word proof we gathered found out that aftermarket exhausts for the 06 LOST power. At that point, we proceeded to design our own one off exhaust system, which on the dyno was proven to gain power. The car was also lowered, wheels, tints, lights tinted, custom mats, calipers painted etc. I dont drive stock.

Ouch. The Gallardo is a quick beast. But that was not a real race regardless. I couldn't hear the 63 at all, which mean the guy didn't even get on it. Either way, I'd bet on the G-car.

I am certain Mr. Lambo has some Gallardo owner buddies in So Cal?
I would show up this weekend and respectfully ask the cameraman or babe ride with the Gallardo. If you can recreate this result against me I will sell my car and buy a 599
