I agree with DBK. No doubt the Murcie is fast. At claimed 800 + HP, it has more HP than a pully'd GT at about 600 RWHP. The video depiction is much greater than what would appear on paper. Also, what's the point? Might as well include a '74 Vega with a motor swap which could kill both cars in acceleration. It wouldn't make me want one nor would it make me think that Vegas are faster cars than my GT. I'm perfectly fine with the concept that this Murci is faster than my GT.
On a similarly closed course, I did one or two 60-120MPH runs with an '06 Murci (stock) against my GT (Ford racing headers but otherwise stock at the time). There was some significant taunting side by side at 60 so both cars knew what was happening and could select the right gear. The result was the same for each "race". The GT would, ever so slightly start to pull on the Murci. The higher the speed the more the GT would creep forward. There were several other exotics on the closed course witnessing. When we got to our destination, the Murci owner took a lot of ribbing from his friends. The owner just couldn't believe how much HP those Ford Racing headers must have added to the GT's HP. :eek It was all in good fun.
I say, put the same mod dollars in a GT and in a Murci then test. I bet I know who will win.
Also, in the case of the Murci, it is undoubtedly a beautiful car. But unfortunately, the beauty is only skin deep. Lambo has taken an ancient (by automotive standards) frame components and assembly technology and wrapped in a beautiful skin. In this regard, the Gallardo is a much better engineered car.
