Chances at what?

Drag racing? Not my cup of tea.

Street racing? I hope you don't do that.

Road course track challenge? Now you're talking. Where? How many laps? Real race or time trial?

Both cars stock?

Equal drivers I bet the Lambo wins every time. No shame though, that's one expensive car. I'd love one myself.

The LP640 will beat the Z in every categore 0-100 = 3.4
in the top gear track, it clocked quicker then the Carrera GT!!!

So, if you want to compare a vette to an LP640 = Leave it to the Blue Devil. I believe that the blue devil will kill it it every categore.

my 2 cent

Yeah, for sure a well modified Z can kill the LP640. I was talking about stock to stock!

There is a video on YOUTUBE, 2 guys hit 220mph = 350km in an LP640, WOW thats fast!!!!

My guess is that a Z with the light mods you mention (which I have but with LGMs) would beat the Murciel everywhere but above a certain speed--160-180mph, then the nature of the Lambo engine and gearing would likely take over. I think the car is still too heavy for good road course work. Of course, the likelihood of racing a Lambo above 160mph in the US = close to -0-.

I dunno about you guys but Id LOVE to see back to back wheel dyno runs of a C6 Z06 and an LP 640 just to see how the claimed 640 compares with a certified 505.

Not saying there should be anything fishy going on, I just think it would be interesting. It would be nice if all marques felt obliged to have their power outputs certified in such a manner.

C7 is a long ways off, who knows.

Sorry, but what's that have to do with the lambo lp 640?

Lambos have been known to exaggerate before.

from my experince and real world testing i would say that if your car have a tune and air intake and you know how drive then you will win.
i race exotics almost every day, some races are from 0-500m and some runs from 0-300+ km, and some over here might be shocked to know how strong our cars can run against exotics, here is my win list so far:
1- 599 GTP, from 0 to 300, very good driver, lunch C, sport mode, Z06 win.
2- auto 997 turbo with boost pacakge, this is a killer car from 0 but no chance for him after that and Z06 win.
3- M6 997 turbo with down pipes, ECU upgrade, higher boost, air intake, Zo6 win.
4- 996 turbo with aftermarket cams, K24 turbos, and ecu, very close but Z06 win.
4- m6s and m5s dont stand a chance.
5- MKB 640 HP E55, Z06 win.
6- E55 with 100 shot, Zo6 infront.
7- lambo murcilago, Zo6 win
exotics are fast from 160-170 and above but not from 0 unless the drive is very good, and based on the numbers of the 599 ( every one is saying its faster than the 640) i assume that you will win.
best luck

A new local LP640 owner showing his stuff........

http://www.orlandosentinel.com/commu...,7828960.story

One of the very first LP's came to my town to a local exotic enthusiast who has owned an Enzo and now drives a Veyron. During the first few months of ownership I saw the car on a rollback twice being transported back to Orlando for repairs. Not impressed, nor was he.......
