Lamborghini vs S55 vs S63...well almost!

So I was in Long Island, in my S55 - and next to me I see a cool S63 with tinted lights. He was following a Lamborghini Gallardo - and I'm pretty sure it was the rapper Lloyd Banks driving, both of his windows were down so I got a good look. He was occasionally accelerating, so there was never really a race but it was cool to see (and hear) anyway!



The Gallardo would have left the S63 and the S55 behind, though.

....gallardo's aren't that relatively quick. i'm not too familiar with the s63 or the s55, but any mods on the s55, and it would be gone past that gallardo. a murcielago is a whole different story.

Yeah, I'm sure with mods it can be done - but i think stock that Gallardo is faster, low 12's quarter mile vs high 12's/low 13's for the S63. My S55 is slower than the S63 too.

Nice sound though!

'09 and up Gallardo will have the S55 or S63 for breakfast,no matter how much modified they are.
It's also comfortably quicker then any Murcie,including Lp640.

any murcie huh?

i dont think so

the new gallardos might be quick, trapping between 124-127 depending on exact model and tester/driver, but they certainly arent unbeatable. there are 55s (E, S, CL, SL)trapping in the mid to upper 120s....so saying that no S55 will keep up is completely wrong.

Yeah, mine is N/A 355 HP. The 03+ kompressors are 493hp - but the Gallardo would still beat it since the power/weight is better, but maybe with a crazy tune the kompressor S55 could do it.
