Yeah! But still, you have to control that monster! (Talking about F1)
Car can be made for you and still you won't be able to control it!

but they race those cars almost daily, they can dream the way the cars drive and react. they know exactly where the edge is of what the car can and can't do. but if you just get in a car that you don't know you try and go as close to the edge as you can, but the chance is that you go over it and spin out.

And James Kay is not a F1 driver but a BTCC driver! there is a 500 bhp diffirence

Where did I wroted that he is F1 driver?

500bhp diference!!! I think that there is not such big diference in hp!

actually, yes there is. the formula one cars are running at about 850hp and the btcc cars at about 270 so actually the difference is almost 600hp...
but it is clear, since you have nothing else to point out than not-that-important numbers, that you dont have anything more to prove your point with ...

Ok! Thanx on explanation!

Heh, I was watching F1 today and there were like 10 accidents in the first 3 laps. So ya, I'd say it's definately possible for someone to spinout around a turn in a Gallardo, even if they are an expert/proffesional driver.

But that accidents weren't becouse spining, they was becouse tires!

LMAO!!

It rockets to 60mph in 3,5 seconds, while the Murcielago does 3,8.

and the average track isn't streight.

The Murcielago wasn't really faster on the straights, it just looks like that since it's pulling away earlier. The acceleration difference is very small, so you won't see the Evo come closer.

Lots of power but lots of control. Traction control and tremendous amounts of downforce.

On the FQ400 vs Murcielago video, you can see that James Kay is accelerating too fast, causing the wheels to spin and lose control. He's already countersteering.

about the speed thing. the murcielago does about 335km/h, if i remember correctly the fq400 does 175mp/h~280km/h...

they are accelerating from 0-60??

I didn't saw that in video! In fact speed of both cars it that video wasn't below 80km/h!

heh. i loved this screen (well not really) but it was the first screen for the carbon series and i thought i'd represent it by putting it as my desktop picture.

No they did not do s sprint in the video, but they did tell it that the FQ400 did it in 3.5 and the Murc in 3.8.

And PSZeTa, what I ment was that the Murc will acc faster at a higher speed cause of the higher top speed. but on the averae track you won't reach those speeds, as seen in the vid...

Yeah agree with you Stig!
