SL65, 911
Spanked a Lamborghini Gallardo!
I swear, Silicon Valley is infested with these exotics these days. Hardly a week goes by when I don't see a Ferrari or 911TT tooling around on the freeway. Tonight I encountered a Gallardo... and I was in the SL65 
Heading down 101 to Fry's this evening, I spy an odd light configuration ahead of me in the #2 lane. I speed up to get closer and... it's a yellow Lambo! I pull up alongside the Gallardo, wave to get the driver's attention, then give a big thumbs up and hit the gas for a second just to say "hi". In the rearview I see him pull into the #1 lane behind me, so I move back into the #2 lane. Instead of pulling back alongside me, the Lambo gasses it and flys by at about 100 MPH (a "linguini flyby?") then hits the brakes.
It's on, b*tch !
I follow the Lambo (who has sped up to about 80) as we work our way through a little traffic. Eventually we're in the #2 lane, the Lambo in the lead, with clear road for about 1/2 mile in front of us. I've already downshifted into 3rd (~70 MPH) and I hear the Gallardo's engine note change as he hits the gas. I instantly floor it, and the Gallaro's momentary surge forward is arrested. I start gaining on him within a second, pull out into the now-clear #1 lane, and about 3 seconds later FLY by him. I put a couple buslengths on the now-humbled Lambo, then back off the gas (no time to look down at the speedo, but I'd guess 140 MPH
). The lambo stays WAY back (like, 1/8 mile back) and never catches up even after I slow to 65. I see him exit at the next opportunity.
My heart is still thumping, and I have a grin from ear to ear as I cloverleaf my way back onto 101 north. I love this car!!

Save your gas next time and have us slow E55's spank him. Wonder how the driver of the Lambo would feel then

I have "raced" the wife (the SL65 is her's) a time or two in the Gallardo. We have been out on the open interstate and taken them a little over the legal speed limit 
. From a rolling start (about 40mph) the SL65 will slowly pull away up to about 120 or so and it seemed to start to even out. From a stop I am out in front (love that all wheel drive) for a little while but she reels me in, slowly. Throw in a curve or two and the Lambo is way ahead
The wife just loves the fact that she has the fastest car in the family. At least the Lamborghini gets more attention at car shows...

Nice kill... 65 motor is a monster...
You have too much HP and Torgue advantage + rear wheel drive...
May be you should try Kleemann ECU to make even more POWER +127 HP...so euro fig'd is 749HP
...
and New LSD for SL65...

With those mods you should run 11's or high 10's...
