Here it is: Doug Levin Motorsports Lamborghini Murcielago not a LP640 but Twin Turbo!!
Apparently it is pushing 800hp+, but DLM is shooting for 1200hp in the near future

Mark my words, i will own one.

Heffner Performance does a lot of those as well.

That's crazy. A lil underimpressed w/ the numbers though (800 crank HP = low-mid 600whp w/ 20-25% drivetrain loss). The TT GT is putting down way higher #'s.

Well, peak numbers dont really mean shit. Id like to see the dyno graph. But yes, im definitely more impressed with the TT GT, HP wise.

I would imagine the torque would be good enough to carry a good FLAT 640 across the entire power band.

Well givin the fact that they most likely had to lower the comp. ratio to even go w/ a couple turbos.

Thats one angry Bull.
I wish I had that kind of money.

Ericbigmac83 · 09-02-2007, 08:45 PM

sick, i got to race a murcielago once

PRAY HRD · 09-02-2007, 10:06 PM

i read a post that said it had 800 Whp, not 800 Chp. can anyone confirm? i would think even 3 lbs of boost would make 800fwhp from the 600+ it already starts out with n/a!

67maro · 09-03-2007, 12:03 AM

Heffner has never done a Murci only a Gallardo. Id rather have a stock Murci roadster but different strokes for different folks.

ERIK@MASPORT · 09-03-2007, 12:16 AM

that shop is right around the corner from us...see that car all the time

....want to see more of his wife lol

Tainted · 09-03-2007, 12:31 AM

wicked,

even if its "only" 800whp think of its gearing, its aerodynamics, its redline and all that shit. that car will roll out a hell of a lot faster than a 800rwhp f-body would

djsanchez2 · 09-03-2007, 01:03 AM

The original Lambo Forums where it came from stated that it was making "800hp at the motor".

I would like to see it. If the F-Body was properly set up, I think the Lamborghini would have it's hands full.

Tainted · 09-03-2007, 02:57 AM

properly set up how?

The lambo will still take it down on top speed and handeling.

Of course the Lambo will be better in handeling the car cost 10times more than brand new F-body what did you expect?

800rwhp F-body with good set of gears and tires for TOP SPEED runs
IMO Will beat the Lambo

sawedoff · 09-03-2007, 09:29 AM

These are really neat cars. If you need a part no matter how old the Lamborghini is, Lamborghini will make you that part.It will come straight from the factory. Alot of the craftsman stay with that company for life. Lamborghini also will restore their cars back to factory new condition if you want them to.They don't have the huge aftermarket like the domestic pony cars do. The places that do work charge an ass load for basic stuff that we don't think twice about. If you get really radical, you have to scratch build your own.

Alot of what hurts these kinds of cars is that the people that have them don't drive them.

No two of these cars are alike either. The F-body has the huge ass aftermarket behind it. Dealer lot to dealer lot, engineering to engineering, the winner is the Lamborghini off the showroom floor. You don't see yourself coming and going.If you run into someone that is technically as astute as most of us F-body owners are, you will die. These cars are mid-engined.

The engineering of the LS series motors is awesome and you can get 100 extra ponies out of them by just looking at them. I love mine. There are some commonalities too. Plug changes are a pain in the ass. You can't even really do one with the engine in the car. Go look at a Pantera.
