Why limit the car you just paid $250,000 for just so you can run a quarter mile? As far as drag racing goes , many don't think that is "real" racing either. Your argument does not really hold water.

well said. Sometimes logic has to be pointed out.

and lol at the excuses for why the Lambo's can't launch. If these guys really had money they would build their cars to do real racing not this fgt roll racing bullshit.

You really think UGR isn't working on this or at least researching what they can do to make their cars more track friendly? Pretty blatantly stupid assumption if you ask me.

I'm sure it's fun to do, but from a spectator pov it's a little boring, imo.

On another note, it's funny to watch people get upset when other people don't conform with their narrow definition of racing

Oh I'm sure they are. I just think it's funny all the excuses we get on how it isn't important or that the guys don't care simply because they can't do it.

Do you serious think they guys want to drag race a bunch of hill billies in chevelles and mustangs with their 300k dollar exotics that even with a shit launch and babying it down the track trap 150+?

They build these to show off to friends and to drive really fast on highways.

They could build and drag race 10 cars for what the put into one of these lambos. Just because they don't do it doesn't mean they are scared or can't do it. They just don't want to m

If you can't understand that I dunno what to say.

[mikesrex]

they have tracked the cars down the 1320' so it seems like they want to run down the track.

i guess i don't see the point in spending megabucks to build a machine that is used 99% of the time on the street to endanger lives.

My guess is boredom, friends were going, the company that made the car is having a track day, or they gave into an Internet troll.

I don't understand the urge to spend mega bucks on a car you drive 10-12 seconds at a time only on the weekends when it's nice out.

yeah I don't understand that urge either. That is why I daily drive all my cars I run at the track. If I decide to build my CRX that car will be the one exception since I refuse to daily a car with a roll cage.

If I'm not mistaken one of the nice benefits of UGR's kits is that it does not hinder the ability to drive it on the street at all. I'd be more confident driving a 1500hp UGR car across the United States over a 90+ Honda Civic.

it's more fun when you are actually there

These videos are misleading as always, they don't show all the angles etc...

They also dont show SW losing to a 1300rwhp c6z, or the Yellow and white UGR lambo's breaking

They do have nice editing tho

so what you are saying is you agree with the lambo guys building their cars for the street cause you do the same thing.

but you dont understand the urge to do exactly what you do?

do you not understand yourself?

And some people refuse to daily a car that has faded paint and no air conditioning. Jussayin! Lol

troll harder mike. i don't think you've baited everyone here just yet.

Personally I don't think they were even at the start of either race. But a win is a win. And no I don't think ugr is working on making them more drag friendly because most of the owners don't care a lick about a dig race. The cars are for pure street fun and frankly are the king right now. Like Brent said, you spend 250 grand on one and you want to drive it more than just 8 seconds at a time.

The Gallardo I just finished I did a complete ProEFI EMS, with full engine control including controlling both Drive By Wire Throttles. It actually cranks faster, idles smoother and we have WAY more control over the dynamics of the car than UGR does with their piggy back setups. We have it setup with boost by gear/speed, we have launch control, antilag, slew based traction control, full time closed loop wideband control. He can even go from pump gas to race gas just by switching a 5 position switch in the glove box.. A little later down the road we are gonna add flex fuel cause E85 is less expensive than C16 .. It has a big bad weldon pump and 2000CC injectors so we're good to go.

The reason they don't drag these cars is that its extremely hard on the trannies. They are way less likely to break in a roll race.. Launching these cars from a dig can easilly be a $10-15,000 night at the track if you break the tranny. There are gearsets available but the casing becomes the weak part. The fun of the car lasts a lot longer doing highway pulls than dig races.
