I think Guilty (member here) was running a Lambo Huracan and was able to get off some incredible launches. I have owned both a 458 and a Huracan and the H car launches so easily (duh AWD) but the 458 is pretty easy too because of the lighter tq rating at lower rpms and mid/rear engine set up.
Was the 458 modded exhaust wise?
Nice vid.

/\ correct, from the video, the 458 was 2 cars a head before you moved. When someone takes a jump like that, it's very hard to recover. You will need 100+ more HP just to reel him in, never mind passing. Go to you local drag strip and practice your reaction and 60' times.
Keep in mind, the reaction time will not make a difference to your overall time since the clock doesn't start until you actually move, but it's good for practice and it will give you an idea of how quick you are of the light.

Yeah it wasn't real racing. More so just us having fun with my friend distracting me in the passenger seat haha.
I wasn't paying too much attention to green light.
