The guy either couldn't drive it or was afraid to.

Re:Nice car at strip (Las Vegas)

was it a real Lambo or a replica car? also remember these cars are made for overall speed not 1/4 quickness, take your truck to a rode course or deserted highway with the Lambo see what you think of the car or the driver then each vehicle shines it its own element

Re:Nice car at strip (Las Vegas)

Are you sure that was the real thing and not a replica? If it was a replica it could have a small engine in it.

Has to be a replica or bad driver. We had a purple one that had a small block 350 Chevy in it running 'round here couple years ago.

Re:Nice car at strip (Las Vegas)

It was real as far as I could tell. <br><br>I know different cars are made for different things, hence you won't ever see me at the road course......I stick to the 1/4 mile and 1/8th sometimes for that reason. On the highway i can get over 115mph anyhow due to gears and RPMS....so thats where I stop &quot;racing&quot;. <br><br>Regardless it was a nice car, it should have gone faster if it had a better driver. The Viper it raced ran pretty good.

Re:Nice car at strip (Las Vegas)

It was probably real and the guy did not want to hurt it. Understandable considering the price
