That Gallardo got beat by the M6, impressive!

The Gallardo lost most of the races that day and the owner didnt like it. He said he would sell the car the next day :lol:

LOL might have been the owner, not the car that was shabby :wink:

The M6 is faster than the Gallardo only in straight line. They should have gone to a track:

This isnt a trackevent, its a straightline event

no the Gallardo isnt a rocket in high speeds thank to the 4Wd system. the Gallardo would be a lot faster with RWD.
in fact the Gallardo lost to almost every race that day

BTW there will come about 30 other racevideos later.

Very nice mate !! Thanks :D

I would think so too... Isn't the Gallardo supposed to be a pretty easy car for 0-60 sprints of 4.3 seconds or less (even 4.0 if some publications are to be believed).

The M6 is quite a bit slower due to the weight.

But many factors come into play... type and condition of tyres, engine wear and tear, state of clutch, and of course, the launch technique *shrug*

Well it was a rolling start so that rules out the launch issue, it does seem a very slow example though, maybe he left the air con running :lol:

Or wasn't at the right rpm... for the gear.. at 50kmh, shouldn't they have been in 1st gear for that roll on?

I do know that from a 50kmh roll an RT12 would pull 100 bus lenghts on the Lambo :P ;)

Something sure is fishy with the whole thing, it could also be that its just not running right, if I was him I would see what that engine is actually outputting right away.

Last year we raced a black Gallardo with a stock M5 E60, both equal fast and M6 is faster than M5 so its natural the M6 win against a Gallardo. Also notice we did rolling starts and not from standstill.

also I have some carmags figures to present and as you guys can see 0-200km/h times are similar

M6
Test in ams Jahrbuch 2006
0 - 200 km/h 13,0 s

Supertest in sport auto 12/2005
0 - 200 km/h 12,8 s

Gallardo
Test in ams 23/2003
0 - 200 km/h 13,8 s

Supertest in sport auto 12/2003
0 - 200 km/h 13,0 s

Test in Auto Bild Tuning 04/2004
0 - 200 km/h 13,8 s

Test in Auto Zeitung 08/2005
0 - 200 km/h 13,3 s


Nothing fishy at all, at higher speeds the M6 will walk a Gallardo, one of the reasons for that is AWD, that steal power in high speeds. So again I dont see the fishy thing.

^^ The point is that 0-xxxkmh is VASTLY different than "some speed from a roll"

I wish folks would realize this and take all these roll-on videos with the pinch of salt they should be :)

We had fun that day, both winners and loosers were happy. We just showing what happens in real life races. Doesnt matter how we test, rolling or standstill, there will always be people whining and finding excuses. Instead of all talk or reading carmags we have it on videos. It doesnt get better than that.

I also have a video of a brand new RS4 racing a M5 E39 with 420hp, both from rolling and standstill, guess who wins ;)
Also me and Congaman racing a F430, Z06 didnt loose a single race and he met all cars there except for GT2 and 993 Turbo RUF.

I also have a 997 Turbo vs M6 and Z06 vs M5 Kellener video.
