SL600 vs. LP640: Video

Video one.

Here we were both looking for some room to go froggy. Towards the end we finally find a stretch, unfortunatly, I hit the brakes because I was under the impression the motorcycle ahead was a officer of the law.

When the fourth lane opens up here on PCH, just listen to the engine of that LP640!

Video two.

Self-explanatory. Off the line launch, ESP off. At the end again, a cop on a bike on the other side of the road. I stopped at maybe 130 or so, he passes me end of second gear beginning of third.

FWIW: I had a full tank, my big rims and the girlfriend with me. Stock (and I assume) the LP640 was stock also.

How many times does that opportunity present itself?

Traffic didn't even look that thick.

I really don't understand why people still post bs comments, it's quite simple jackhole-- if you don't like it don't view it. Capeche?

Honestly, like Sclusiv said, how many times does the oppurtunity present itself? Not only do you have to find a Lambo but you have to find a willing driver, and with drivers like our good friend TopCarbon that's a rarity.

Traffic by the way wasn't really that thick, we went around one or two cars and onto a straight away, so calm down Chief. I really think you might need to get a girl That'll make you a little less up-tight.

Yeah anyways... what a way to go down. Damn that LP640, I can't wait to get rid of my rims and get a ECU/TCU.

Glad you guys enjoyed the video!
