03 Compound Cobra vs Lamborghini Gallardo
After our fun last night I was heading back home.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ph1Y6bZNpWU
While on 75 chillin with cruise control on around 70mph I see a pair of really low blue HIDs with a black carbon fiber inlay between them coming up at decent speed.
After all the fun earlier I could only hope to cap the evening off with what I hoped was in my review mirror and that this spirited driver was a exotic.
Much to my glee it was indeed a marvelous orange Gallardo.
I down shifted to 4th and matched his speed while throwing him some revs (75-80.) I lined up next to him and heard the lambo snap down into gear and I followed suit. I shifted down into 3rd which leaves me around 3500rpm do to my tall tire and low gears.
After a few punches the lambo took the bait and took off, I laid chase at his rear fender and by the middle of 4th the lambo let off 2 cars behind.
He came up a few seconds later after we slowed down and waved, I threw the peace and we went our separate ways.
Very cool dude, very nice car, great end to a great evening.

Jesus, you might be the first guy on our forums with a compound boosted car. What kind of numbers does that put down? I'm guessing 900rwhp+.
Given your wheel/tire combo I'm guessing you track it. Got any times?
Also, pics please.....

I been posting kill stories and my compound thread here for a while. If you look you can find them.
It made a bit north of 600 earlier in the week but I had bad boost drop off at high rpm.
I got a electronic boost controller and some exhaust work on the way to fix that and she should make around 750-800 after that. The car is pretty light as well so that helps a lot.
It's my daily driver but I do track it. I plan to take it out this weekend to the 1/8th and play around.
You can go here to see a huge write-up on the car with lots of pics if u want:
