Well, I would have lost 200 bucks on that race if I had been in on the action :eek:Quote:

You didn't miss much Josh...the Gallardo put a bunch of car lengths on the Cobra. Sorta like lil evo putting car lengths on Crawlin (see private forum). :goof ;) :DQuote:

It SHOULD'VE looked like that video with the red lingenfelter pulling away from that honda or whatever the hell rice car it was years back.
So either it was a disappointment for the lamborghini or a surprise from the cobra that the race was as mild as it was.
Ok, now I dont feel so bad about missing it.
You have to remember that the price of the car doesn't really correlate to the dragstrip horsepower.. Especially in the exotics. I think a lot of the money is going to the road racing features like suspension, brakes, exotic lightweight materials used in construction etc. IMO, the exotics are a poor value in anyone's book, when you drop that kind of money it's to make a status statement and/or to have something that nobody else has, or to buy it "because you can".

This is where I would expect a high dollar exotic v12 or whatever it is to thrive over the cobra, especially because of the aspects you've outlined. I guess it just wasn't quite what I had expected, modded cobra or otherwise. I really was expecting something like that lingenfelter vid. But it was actually somewhat boring I guess in that respect :)
On a side note, the lines of the countach are still my favorite.
Well, don't forget...the ligenfelter was only racing a DSM :nutkick (actually, when the two raced, it was a bit closer)Quote:

Then again...I did put the hurt on a rolls royce once :goof
