I honestly think 145mph on wide open roads with a porsche and a skilled driver is way safer then your average soccer mom going 10 mph over speed limit with her mini van on a congested day.
Keep doing what your doing, just be smart about it.

I too say take it to the track, driving 145mph (240 km/h) isn't the smartest thing to do, one wrong move and you and your passenger are dead. Not to mention any inocent person that might get in the way.

Great story otherwise, the Lambo's are hot, the Indy that services my car is also the local Lambo dealer, always nice to see those beautiful machines.

I know it sounds weird, but when I drove my C2S wo the CAI and Filter it always seemed like the engine was choking sort of, the car is def faster and smoother and now when I put the sport button on man the car came alive, but I know the sport button just increases throttle response but when I put that on my car was moving like Ive never felt since owning it (only been 6 months) maybe its becuz I never drove it that hard b4. As for the Lambo that thing was a thing of beauty....an unbelievable car

What was the outside temperture? The colder the air the more condensed the air is, this might have given a slightly better acceleration.

the other guy either didnt know how to drive or he might of missed a gear, both are very common. That Lambo would make that C2S look like it not moving.

Hard to turn an opportunity down to possibly injure yourself, your passenger, or others in the street? There are plenty of Lambos and Ferraris at the track to race against get your rush there! let me give you some advice last weekend i was cruising home on the 5 fwy at 3am and going about 70-75mph when i hit road debris that shredded my rear tire off my 911. Long story short, it wasnt fun trying to control the car safely, and luckily for me at 3am i was alone on the road. I could honestly tell you at 145mph if your tire blew for some reason you would have died.
