Which ever lambo you are talking about, carbon fiber is as plasticy as fiberglass.

Corvette's and I'd guess the new camaro will be hindered by Torque Management. So even with TC off there is still some electrical nannies watching over the drive train.

I agree; I'm sure there are going to be some ekectronic intervention(s) in Camaro to keep it from beating itself to death.

I love that video though! I still don't think that ZR1 driver gave it it's best though...

And the best part of that is, if you turned on traction control in them then the zr1 would be even more ahead....

....And the GTR transmission would be sitting on the concrete with a voided warrantee!

wow

The gtr got the best start but awd in a drag race dose nothing even if they restarted the resalt would be the same. At the end they say the gtr could not handle the powerhouse horsepower of the rest of the three

Just wait till the 2SS RS get's to that line
