I was reading through the comments and a guy with an AMS name a few hours ago said something along the lines of "I spoke with our Alpha 12 customer and he said the race video will be posted real soon (as in a few hours) but should be by tomorrow."
So hopefully we can see the video very soon.

I would really like the see the both of them on a real track going at it. This will determine if the the mods are more than just a few-seconds-reliable as well as how the entire car performs.

What kind of track? If you mean drag racing then the streets will prove their reliability more than the track will....they should easily put over 220+mph on the streets...they put 160mph on the track.

60-130's on these would be awesome to see.... but they may need to do 100-200 times instead to get meaningfull comparisons.
Amazing these trannies hold together.........

These cars are just INSANE 
The question of 0-60 is irrelevant with these, with this kind of power 0-186mph and 0-200mph are more appropriate. The GT-R is more impressive because it manages to beat the Gallardo in the 1/4 with more weight, less displacement and horsepower although it is aerodynamically better. The GT-Rs gearbox is just I would still have the Lamborghini anyday and everyday, the gearbox is it's downfall to the GT-R but the Gallardo is the better car, it's an exotic and that SOUND These cars represent a new era in street cars were a road car in full street trim can run high 8s which is built dragster territory. These videos depress me, as fast as our E55s are compared to normal cars these TT supercars are on a quantum level. I wish I could afford the UGR Gallardo *sigh*

As for the transmission I think Nissan anticipated the possibility of people modifying this car like the R34 GT-Rs and it's predecessors. Although people build the trannies to the teeth (no pun intended
) when those cars go up to 1000hp+ which I think is also done to the AMS cars and the Gallardos. If they are in fact stock then all I have to say is

No emissions in Florida 
But I think they claim these are street legal though. Pretty sure I read that somewhere, not so sure how true that could but who knows.

I said budget model as in the car was $80k less than the cheaper of the two Underground Racing cars. I am aware that $60k for a turbo kit that uses all the same parts as any other car but costing under $10k for another model is ludacris and not cheap by any means.

God I wish they would quite teasing. On a side note, it sounds like the Lamborghini starts to take off and then a clutch slip sound goes on? Does anyone else notice that? It seems like the revs shoot up and then the car falls back and it seemed to make sense to me that they didn't do any complete runs. But I am sure they would have mentioned trouble in the video and wouldn't haves said full boost vs full boost runs coming soon if there was a problem, so not sure what to think about that.

I have seen that video a while back, the thing I am confused about with that video is "the blonde" Jessica Barton dated (not sure if she does still or not) Darin a tuner that works for Titan Motorsports so it was a little weird that she was on the other side of the fence with the UGR guys since Titan built her Supra and having the BF that tuned at Titan you would think she would be supporting the Titan owner.

Yeah I shoud have wrote "worked" at Titan instead of "works," I did get it right later in the paragraph where I said the BF that "tuned" instead of "tunes" at Titan as in past tense. Oh well

These Russians from Moscow don't play around. They are serious and real car enthusiasts.
The difference is that there it is respected and everyone in the country know's their cars(males and females). In the USA it's nerdy, unpopular and no one cares what car you drive etc.
Also powerful cars fall to competent owners. It the way the jungle works there. Look at the dudes in all their videos, its grown men and not some stupid *** kids.
