Per the other thread I think it was a Lambo

I hope I get to do this one day.. hopefully soon!

Did they have the Texas mile the same time they had the LSx shootout?

Is it just me or have you noticed a few Ferrari's burning every now and then?

The car is gorgeous.

I was told it put 1506 to the wheels.

Ended up doing 241, you can have the "street car" arguement with his car I guess, but that sucker is nothing short of impressive.

My friend saw the black Lambo after he did 238. He saw that he put a sticker on the window stating he was the world record holder. Minutes later, he witnessed Kyles 241 pass. I asked him if he went back to watch the black Lambo guy scrape off his new sticker.

You know the saying, 'If you have to ask . . . . . '

LPE put out a 1000+HP TT Vette a few years ago, at over 200K.

I'm sure the Lambo with more power and 'Lambo' tax, it's likely more.

Costs big money to pay with the 'big dawgs'!
