'Said "hello" to a barrier at 174mph...and the driver came out okay. :thumbsup:thumbsup :cheers

Color me gone.

Gentlemen,

I'm pretty sure it was the Lambo color that caused the problem. That GT wanted to be repainted! After my 6 day stay at Heffner I am convinced that Lime Green, Safety Orange, Neon Blue and a host of other psychedelic colors that look good on Lamborghinis, look awful on any other car except for the Dodge Challenger. I don't know why that's the case, but that's my take on it.

Agreed also.

Wonder how they "only" got 779hp out of the 4.0L? Maybe the exhaust is too restrictive?

Mine is putting out 810 albeit with racing headers.

Those wheels look OK ...but....they use spacers front and rear to get the offset/backspace right.

Agreed...I have a Green Lambo but it would look terrible on my GT!

Nice! Is that the real low mile Green one that Bentley / Lambo GOLD COAST had about a month ago?

 

[ChipBeck]

Tell us about them.

UB2,

THAT....is an impressive pair of cars. Perhaps you could do a short writeup for us comparing the performance, handeling, and relative merits of both as you see it. I always love to read the views of an owner who has multiple sports cars. I find such info of more value than a magazine test done by non owners. WMitty has written some outstanding posts about his collection.

Shelby,

Yes it is...I bought it with a little over 3,000 miles. It is in like new condition and runs great! Fun car but not as fun as the Ford GT. So far, I like the Ford GT better. After I drive the Lambo a bit more and get equally familiar as I am with the Ford, I will post a comparison review as requested by Chip.


Thanks,

Rich
