My Gallardo SE vs 06 Z06
I guess ill just post this here, only because people seem to think that a stock 997TT is going to run away from an 06 Gallardo. Not to mention you have guys like Gustav posting these videos that show all these cars running away from them, like the M5 or M6 , which are subsequently killed by the Z06 which starts in the wrong gear.
Anyways, we raced like 10 times. We raced from 50 mph in 2nd, and from 70 mph in 3rd. Each time pretty much the same result, and we'd end at approx 135mph. From 50mph in 2nd, it seems that my Gallardo gets the jump, and maybe even slightly pulls. it holds that lead through 3rd, until I have to shift into 4th, while I believe he is still in gear, at which point he makes up the lead I have, and pulls approx 1 car, maybe slightly more till we let off. At that point, it also does not seem like he continues to pull anymore either. It will be interesting to see what happens if we go even faster. I let him do the 3 honks, since its hard to drive, shift, film and steer at the same time.
Here is the crappy vid, you get the idea.

Regardless of me having an exhaust or not, I will tell you that a stock 06 G, will not get walked by a 997TT. Also, this Z06 has 10K miles on it, my car isnt even broken in yet.

either way stock they are much faster was my main point and yours moves even faster. just get some better videos next time, so we can see better!

Here is what I have noticed so far you can hit 70 miles per hour in the vette 1st gear 2nd can pullyou to about 115 so basically you have to be more of a driver in any exotic to beat that car. It can be done however most drivers quit at about 130 many of us can agree that in safe driving conditions thats where most exotics get going. Porsche Ferari and Lamborghini will take it from there.

[quote=PorscheC4]Yes! Porsches, ferraris, and lambos are meant to shine at speeds 120 and above, much more so than anything american![/quote
Wrong, ZO6 has the advantage above 120 mph and will walk away from there!997 tt has the advantage under 100 mph.
