Here is a rematch between my Gallardo vs. an LP560-4

Fantastic as usual! Nice to see it back in action too!

Make sure you guys watch this in 1080p.

I'm amazed at how close it is especially considering you are a 6-speed. Extremely well done as always.

Beautiful vid as usual!

nicee!!!! didnt think you could keep up like that. What did lamborghini do to make the extra power on the lp560?

amazing vid

The motor is larger, makers more power/torque, and has a higher redline.

Surprising in many senses as some magazines claimed up to 130 trap speeds for the lp-560 which seem to be a tad optimistic.

Also direct injection enables higher compression ratio up from 11.5 to 12.5.
The e-gear shifts in 120ms, so shifting is a tad quicker than MT.

No surprise that the tuned older model manual is as quick as the new one stock.

I have to say the exactly opposite, I find it extremely surprising. Maybe the first LP-560's were "different" some how but if you saw some of the numbers they were putting up it made it seem like night and day vs. the old model, tune or no tune.

His car is very impressive especially being a 6speed.

Thanks Sticky. But at higher speeds, the LP560 will eventually overcome the Gallardo.

Nothing performance wise, just lowered it. How about you Steve?

I didn't see them and I have obviously missed the LP-560 hype, so I was just comparing the official numbers which are an enhancement, but not a miracle.

yea, new things always being worked on over here. one of these days brother, one of these days we will get it done :) didnt you have to get a new clutch or syncro's or something though?

That's what I was thinking as well, looks like the runway length played into your hands :)

very nicely done! I enjoy the parts leading up to the race much more :)

Byzantine, would you mind sharing what the care and feeding costs of a Gallardo are like?
