Whose SL65 AMG did I destroy in Michigan??

Hehe.

I was coming up 75 N bound Saturday night when a set of blue headlights started to ride my tail in the left hand lane. I knew it was a Benz immediately but wasn't sure which kind. As traffic cleared and I changed lanes to try to get the Benz to get next to me, the fella tried to pass me right away.. 10 secs later the Benz seemed to be a little spec of debris in my rear view mirror. To say the least, I am sure that guy was dumb founded to be left like that by a Gallardo..

I slowed down and looked over at him when he came next to me. I gave him a thumbs up and we were on our way.

If the Benz owner is on here, nice car and thanks for playing..

If he dusted an SL65, I'm guessing it's a TT kit. Nice kill!

Here is a video of my Gallardo racing my friends car. He went to the track this weekend and was going through the traps at 140 mph!! I am on the stock short block and playing with fire, hehe.

Good call. The car will not see even 1 psi on pump gas. In other words, I don't boost the car if I don't have at least an 80% mix of race gas. 11:1 CR and 14 lbs. of boost on the stock motor = But I try my best to take all the necessary precautons and hope for the best. So far, so good.

This car doesn't make anywhere near the power that UGR and other built gallardo's make. on 14 lbs, its about 750 awhp. But I usually run it at 12 lbs on the street, which is about 680 awhp.

Actually, it's a total of about 27,000 views. But who's counting?

Thanks all.

It's a 6 speed. But I think my next Gallardo will be an e-gear.

I haven't had the car to the track, but knowing that the ZR1 went 140, I would say my car is a 141-143 mph car on 14 lbs. I only turn it up to 14 psi when I am racing something very fast. I am usually running around on 10-12 lbs.

Benz O rama, I know that was a different link, and that's why I said "the whole world has seen the video" (in a sarcastic manner, obviously) because I was very well aware that there is another link going on (like the one I posted)

Thanks, Mathmik. The car's top end pull is very impressive. Heck, it better be with 5th gear being almost 1:1.

I will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
