I'm probably the only person who has never liked the way lambos look. I think that car is ugly.

They all look like they were designed by teen age boys. The 15 year old ideal of what fast looks like, similar to the Pam Anderson posters.

hustler 02-10-2010 11:52 AM

expensive and unreliable. I think the Gallardo looks awesome, hate the Murcie.

buffon01 02-10-2010 12:04 PM

Im a Ferrari fan. Lambos have one purpose: pose in music videos.

TurboTim 02-10-2010 06:15 PM

Wow, haha. How do I get my turbo to sound like that?

...I think that's kind of the point - they look like supercars. This is why Zondas are gorgeous to me.

Needz moar boost.

I don't think it looks like a super car though. Looks like a big terd imo.

3 inch downpipe with no exhaust should do the trick. Unless you wanted the V-12 sound too.

TurboTim 02-11-2010 09:23 AM

Nah, just the wirl of the turbo. I'll try no exhaust to get that.

But to anyone who knows anything, knows that Pam Anderson is a diseased whore. As for the Lambo, I still think the comparison is correct :)

short exhaust piping of course. I took the cat out and I get a buzz at idle.

chicksdigmiatas 02-11-2010 09:06 PM

Sounds great..... but not a fan of the looks. I think when the engineers designed it they just had a bunch of construction tape triangles and taped them together til they had the shape of a car.

rweatherford 02-11-2010 09:37 PM

Shorter the exhaust the better for the wirling/whistle sound. Just disconnect at the downpipe/test pipe and see what you get. ;)

2k6750 02-11-2010 09:39 PM

Am I the only one that's pissed there was no actual video?

here you go! now stop whining!


rweatherford 02-11-2010 10:42 PM

If that thing has some spool assist it would be damn fast.

9.1xx @ 167 mph isn't fast?

low 9's in the 1/4 is pretty fuckin fast! i wish i could say my car can run that!

ThePass 02-12-2010 02:29 PM

I am immensely satisfied to hear the turbo spinning on decelleration from having such a straight through exhaust on this Gallardo. I have been on the fence about this sound on my own car - whether I really liked it or not. Hearing this thing and that it sounds exactly the same has solidified it for me - I love it.

For a car with a base price of $200,000 and more money for the 2 additional turbos and who knows what else. No. For street cars this is the new "fast".

:giggle:

People who buy Lambo's don't but them for their speed. Id say 9 out of 10 is because it's just a status symbol.

I won't disagree with that.

ThePass 02-12-2010 11:19 PM

Seriously? Some of you guys have the ignorance to say that a 9 second quarter mile for a streetable car is not fast? Think real hard before you use the word fast again then. I bet you've called much slower cars fast before. It has nothing to do with the price tag.. spend a dollar to "buy" a 9 second car from your grandparents or spend a million, 9 seconds is still seriously fast. Until you have something faster, you can't be talking. I sure as hell don't so when someone builds a twin turbo lambo, I don't try to front like I even know what 9 seconds in the 1/4 feels like.

rweatherford 02-13-2010 12:31 AM

Try not to get your panties in a bunch...

Larry's car is far from typical. The only reason this got started is because I said "if it had some spool assist it would be damn fast". It OBVIOUSLY is not a drag car. If you listen you can hear the turbo's spool after the lambo leaves the line. They are not spooled at launch.

No biggie, enjoy your evening. ;)

I call my car fast, but that doesn't mean it is.

turotufas 02-20-2010 12:04 AM

I was just at the lambo/mustang thread and I had to come over here to watch the vids again. That wooh wooh!
