I was hoping it was the rac gas vs race gas video finally. It sucks trying to compare those two cars when one is a manual vs the gtr being auto. The driver doesn't start in the right gear or brake boost the car if he is in the wrong rpm spot then of course the shifts never being that good trying to compete vs a stupid fast shifting auto.

What would be sick is if UGR and AMS met with their two shop cars with people in them who can drive and went at it somewhere, but that would never happen.

Wow, Underground Racing raises the bar to new levels on all their builds.
Their R8 is awesome to hear. I know Brett David that runs the Lambo dealership in Miami brags on UR all the time .
That video shows the speeds when they fly by regular cars. The risk at that speed is that it is regular highway roads that aren't anyway close to smooth like a track so it doesn't take much to get sideways.
Big smile on my face watching that clip. Thanks for sharing.

Those cars are rediculous but those poor guys with the Gallardos can't get them things to run right or drive them right. There is that one single run in the e-gear where he came from behind spinning when they started and then just pulled like a freight train on the GTR but the GTR is much more consistent.

From what I can remember, cost was cut on building that mkad highway they play on, I'm surprised it stays in that good of shape considering the winter weather.

Lol. Picture one of these blowing by on rt95?

Funny, at 1:51 that "belarus" driver will always have a story to tell about seeing a UFO. Its a joke, they call tractors "Belarus", although it is a country..
There's a saying, only in Russia will you see someone passing another in the opposite lane and someone ELSE passing the passer on the opposite lane's shoulder..

I hope they get their fun in until the highway falls apart haha. Those guys are doing something right.

Your worst nightmare...
In a quarter mile race my money is always on the GTR, I think a properly running UGR car will give it a run for its money after the quarter.

It sucks that e-gear Gallardo has so much trouble with traction at the beginning of every run. You can just sit there and listen to it not hooking and then finally start straight getting it and blow by like the GTR is parked in the 3rd run where the camera shifts to inside the GTR. Pretty insane the GTR is still gunned and the Gallardo is like 1/8 mile in front of it.

No doubt about it. I was listening to a clip from Hennessey when he explained the real challenge with making a car with outrageous hp be able to grab the road. The Venom GT is a great study.,
Super light car, tons of power, 267 mph and the engineers spent countless hours making sure the tires would stick and not just spin like the gallardo did.
I would love to see more clips of the Venom GT match up to the other supercars. The pro drivers say the Venom is off the planet with acceleration. Would love to be riding shot gun one lap around the ring !!!
