Now this is a car! Duramax 65' Impala

Awesome vid. The squid on the Busa is either a pussy or has that thing geared wrong. Nothing should be able to keep up with a bike under 190.

Epic 200,000 car getting beat on by a NSX

That doesn't mean anything. I used to beat the 355 with my old Vette C5 with stage 1 mods, still would've taken the Ferrari over it anyday. Funny you'd bring a 90s car in this comparison 

And one last thing, the 355 sounds wonderful and was one if not the only practical Ferrari at that time.

The first Gallardo is Lamborghini's worst creation to date.

Not a true Lamborghini, like doesn't Missy Elliot have one?? Car has zero mystique.

[ManBearPig...]

i didn't know gallardos were that cheap, i might pick one up on the way home from the grocery store tonight.

Audi and Pininfarina

This car reminds me of the early 90's when car magazine used to say we'd have flying cars by the millennium . I remember a special feature that had futuristic cars that were supposed to be driven by everyone by the year 2000.

That Impala is ridiculous,  I don't know what would motivate someone to build a set up like that. Im curious if he is running the Allison trans as well. Anyway, I don't know if anyone else here can really understand and appreciate the amount of work that was put into something like this. Not to mention on top of all that, he was able to get it to hook up and get a good launch.

Weird set up but cool nonetheless, makes you say WTF?

[Lord Humungous]

put a twin turbo on the gallardo and it will blow that "musclecar" out of the water

 

Nice Lambo but for a 10th of the cost I'd rather have this 8 second GN and leave the lambo owner in a $120k puddle of tears.

The TT Gallardo from Underground is a daily driver, smooth and comfy. That GN will break anyday if not the same day.

please tell me you're just joking, it's like comparing the poop hamburger to onions+liver+Chianti.

just be serious mate

American muscle cars are an investment. That yellow lambo loses 25 grand as soon as you drive it out of the showroom. 35 grand by the time you get it home

And adds 100K in 35 years too.

[The Italian Lifter]

I guess you're both right

[The Abdominal Snoman]

Unless its been well taken care of, I wouldn't go near it will a ten foot pole. Esp. if it had over 20K miles. Most of them start out as leases from guys who dump them before the 5k tune up. And those 5k miles are hard driven miles. I' ll take the old America muscle where high school shop teachers could tune it perfectly.

[funk51]

this was my third and favorite car when i was young a 68 dodge polaris 383 4 barrel carb

Remember the Gallardo was the "budget" model. People with real money buy Murcielagos.

this is why living in ita if you buy a used ferrari lambo or maserati you'll be ok: nearby I have at least 5 specialists of these engines.
While on the other hand i'm sure i wuold be in trouble if i had an HEMI

I asked for an extra key for my previous Ferrari Maranello and they told me they have to change the security system and give me a new "set" of keys, do you know how much it cost? 10 thousand dollars! I walked off and kept my one and only key. Italian cars are a joke when it comes to maintenance, and don't even think about changing the exhaust, the Tubi for the 550 was about 11 thousand dollars at the time    the Corvette was 800!

Yeah because your in Italy, so no problem. I bet theres lots of old Euro car mechanics that know everything about certain makes and models and have copious amounts of parts. If your in the west maintenance for those cars is just cruel, especially if its an older model or its modded. A friend of mine is looking at a $20k engine cooling repair bill for his older Lambo, mechanics around here wont touch it with a 10' pole. They are nightmares to get fixed.

[The Italian Lifter]

I see Bill, even here is difficult to find someone able to maintain or fix the 12 cylinder boxer of ferrari (the most complicated). I have a 4boxer Lancia and even that can be a bit of a problem.
Don't get me wrong on this, no desrespect but reality: when we're talking usa v8 almost every mecanich here can fix it, they're quite simple

Absolutely, the same guy I mentioned previously had a 12 Boxer and said it broke down more than he drove it. The key is to always stay on top of the maintenance, and make sure you have a good chunk of money to dump into it when something goes wrong.

Take a small block chevy to any mechanic and chances are they'll have no problems figuring it out.
