Drove next to Lamborghni Murcielago from Atlanta to Tampa

This car did something that freaked me out- We were going next to each other at about 100 MPH and all of a sudden - HE lauched and disappeared into thin air-- He slowed down and I later caught up with him- Obviously I never even tried to race him- You have to respect a beast when u see one-- Just wanted to share this pics with you guys-- Let me know what u think-- What Benz can take this MONSTER

No longer car shopping...
Talking Be afraid, be VERY afraid...

Guys - That car is made for going fast and straight. Only a Supercharged CLK55 (or something similar - light, lots of torque) will have ANY chance of sticking near it. I've "run away from 430's in my little normally aspirated 55 from 45MPH through 110 (and about 3 seconds) I'm a good 1/8 mile away from the 430. Imagine it was similar when this guy puched it @ 100. I've done that to a few ricers and a firebird ot two. Get a lot of Thumbs up surprisingly from those guys. One of the nice things about the demur CLK is that the cops usually tale the ricer or the other more "flashy" cars. In this case I don't think the cops would have even noticed a 430 running along side that yellow monster!

Define take

If you mean a straight race to 300 km/h there are a couple of stock de-limited mercs that can take it

Track/low speed is a bit different because of the AWD advantage the Lambo has. No doubt that even in RWD this car could outrun everything shy of the SLR.

Its all the torque that the S/C turbos provide it just keeps pushing the car at high speeds.

G500,toyota supra, 67corvette,05 pathfinder
a CL55< new E55 and S600 would all still loose to a that on aroll on. A CL65 or a S 65 Might i say might keep up.


the Murci's run 11.0 say the mags stock... a new E55 run 12.3

does not sound like much of a diff, and yes i know we are magizeen racing here... but 12.3 to 11.0 = out to be 13 car lengths. also you got to keep in mind the drag at speed over 100+mph..


LoL... i would have still tried to run him... even in the big G! No shame in my game getting beat my a lambo
