My car isn't your typical Gallardo. I consistently pull LP560 numbers on my VBox. But based on the videos M33 showed, I think it would be a very interesting run and I'd like to shoot it so people could watch the result.

Well then the M3 should have no problem with it. Especially since his Gallardo is only making 416 AWHP.

I look forward to seeing the race regardless of who wins.

Yeah the aftermarket turbos are 4K MSRP, but you can get them for 3K. But he also has a bunch of other stuff, so I'm guessing he probably spent between 6-8K in total.

scary thing is a M3 will do the same thing to most "normal cars". gives you a comparison to how fast the lambo is. Anyone have the video where top gear races a gallardo or bugatti vs like a gti? i will try to find...

The problem is with 06+ Gallardo's, they are capable cars, but on YouTube, they are losing to cars that they could beat if they had competent drivers. So everytime I post a video, people are like "Oh this must be false, I saw a Gallardo lose to _______ in __________'s video."

The video you are looking for, I think, is the Top Gear's LP640 vs. GTi

This video is still at the top in the BMW sections so I thought I would comment. I like the video. Well made and well edited. You started early or the bimmer way lagged. Either way he still would have go spanked by your lambo. I noticed the person honking always seems to do this. Common occurrence I guess. But thanks for sharing. I look for ward to more. Do you if you plan on doing weight reduction stuff to your car? Pm me.
