Default LP560-4 vs. 599 GTB F1 - rolling start
Kind of surprising imo:

Well, we know that the 599 will do the 1/4 just as fast as an Enzo (largely due to LC + speedier shifts)... the LP is a lot torquier than the Gallardo was... 60 ft lbs if I recall from way lower in the rev band. That makes a huge difference. After driving a SL, 560, and 640 all in a day, I can say the 560 felt nearly as quick as the 640 from a dig.

Such rolling displays are really more a point and measure of driver response and equipment familiarity than purely car performance potential.

At these power levels fractiosn of seconds, 100 rpms either way and throttle response on gear are the difference between being walked and holding on side by side.
