Tuned GT vs. Stock Huracan
Stock numbers aside, which do you think is faster in a drag race? I'm not too versed in my lambo's; I'd assume it would be close, but that the lambo would probably end up pulling away..on the way home today I saw a new huracan in my neighborhood. The guy pulled on me, but I decided a night in jail for racing through a school zone probably wasn't worth it...curious what you think.

I too owned a Huracan LP610/4. Of course the dig is no issue but the roll would probably favor the Lambo up to much higher speeds. The car traps in the low 130's stock and weighs less than our GTS's. But a tune gives the GTS a nice leap in usable hp/tq thru the ranges. I had both at the same time (GTS tuned) and I found from my seat that the Lambo felt faster on the same roads at higher speeds but where I think the GTS with a tune could be formidable is that street passing speed for 40 to 100; the immediate torque really makes the GTS a traffic warrior. The Lambo is much like my current R8 and you need to be in the right rpm range to be maxing out the hp and tq (which is much lower) One thing for sure, it definitely felt more stable at higher speeds IMHO.

I'm also contemplating buying a used Huracan instead of the GTR. But I'm thinking the GTR makes for a better daily driver (has more storage space, not as flashy in parking lots and whatnot).

The Huracan is a bad daily driver. Plenty of blind spots, no rear visibility out of the Transparent Engine Bonnet, wide as hell, low to the ground and generates a disconcerting amount of attention especially with Verde Mantis AKA F-ck Me Green.
I'll never own a car that requires a front lifter again after the Huracan and GT3, Total PITA for daily driving.
Engine sounds amazing and interior is more futuristic and driver centric than the AMG albeit with a fare amount of plastic.

I too had a GT3 with a lifter (Lambo too) and really didnt need it with the P car (I may have used it 3 or 4 times total) but I had to use the Lambo one often because I was dropped on Novitecs:

Couldnt have said it better. The H car is, as I also mentioned, such an event car and mine was not the "come and fawk me green" lol but instead OEM Matte White aka Bianco Canopis. The lack of egress and ingress is an added negative but then again, we didnt buy these cars for all the daily driver issues than one could poke holes with; these are rather exciting and sounding exotics that clearly are a 3rd or 4th car in a stable if not higher. Its just not that practical.

White is a classy color on the Huracan. I had black Mimas rims too. A lot depends on your route, I had to use my Huracan and GT3's front axle lifter a minimum of 4 times a day for in and out of home driveway, hospital driveway and parking garage driveway.

Almost a 180 degree turn; the R8 while still being an exotic in most eyes and an eye turner has a much nice interior IMHO and practicality. I can daily drive it if I want (I dont though) and have no worries about just jumping in and going to the store, mall, etc. Its much easier to get in and out of and still maintains that amazing V10 engine. The Huracan just felt bigger and the blindspots were prevalent. The R8 feels smaller and just easier to maneuver in and out of traffic and on more congested roads and epressways. They both are very planted at speed.

Totally disagree. Not sure if you live in a major city like Los Angeles but here the Huracan has a major douche factor and the AMG GTs get way more attention and respect. Obviously the Huracan is a fast car but definitely not more desirable.

i agree in the fact that I do want a Lamborghini, just because I've had close friends that owned them and they aren't that enjoyable to drive
but all the same, the guy driving the Lamborghini probably has a large stable of cars and doesn't care that you're trying to race him
I do live in the 4th largest city. I know it's not the center of the universe like you sir

That's funny but true. The Huracan looks better parked in front of Lure Nightclub for the attention, but the AMG looks better cruising the PCH.

On The Californians, the drama always runs deep, especially if you take the 405, dude.

The Huracan looks gorgeous and got way more attention than my 458 Spider.
For a daily driver, I prefer the GTS' more subdued appearance. Still gets more attention than my Guards Red GT3.

And I agree 100% the Lambo turns heads- the GTS garners respect and head turns as well but its more like "what kind of car is that?"
