Yes, i overexaggerated with the close comment, but the Murci is still a couple of mph faster through the 1/4 than the Gt2. And the Road and Track test of the Murci was on a slippery track. They noted it would have been faster.

Trouble is, the stock numbers are somewhat useless, at least for most of us on this board. Talk about how much it costs to modify and what you get for your money. 
If you really take your car to a real strip I bet there will be some real dissappointing faces if you really believe some of the quarter mile times I see being thrown out above. Why is it when I go to a strip no one's car is ever running right or something is wrong with the track conditions?

The Murci is a pig... 4000 lbs. of sheer mass and ****ty handling. Yep that's Lamborghini "engineering." The Gallardo is actually the better car.
Anything can be made or modded to go fast. But that is not balanced performance.

I raced a yellow x-50 in my Sv several times in Scottsdale, from all sorts of speeds. My car had exhaust at the time. From 30-to 150mph i was ahead by about 7-8 car lengths.
My Buddy in South Fl had an 01 TT with several mods, chips, exhaust etc, and the same results in my 92 Diablo with exhaust.

the driver of the lambo had it from new. Knew the car inside and out. Driver error was not a factor

Whenever '98 Lambos dont run 0-60 in 2.0 secs and hit the 1/4 mile in 7.4 secs, our girl Ellen here knows for a fact and in fact insists that it is because of driver error. Cuz we all know that he can hit ALL those times in his 1990 Diablo consistently.

We all know what a fine racing history Lamborghini has... of course they have to be the best sports cars too.
I think they were champions in the Formula Tractor circuit? That raging bull can plow a field faster than anything...
They have applied this tractor technology in developing their road cars. Hence the heavy feel and the lack of maneuvarability of the Diablo and Murci, you see, this is truly applied technology when your sports car feels like a tractor.

Oh and btw, if the Murci is such a pig, why does it post better Nurburgring and hockenheim times than your 996TT?
