That's great and all but this F6 is clearly far from stock if it ran a 9.9 quarter... I don't think too many Lambo owners would even care that a modified car beat a Lambo at a dragstrip. I don't find it surprising at all, given how much you can get out of the turbo-Barra. It would interest me if the F6 beat it around a circuit though.

Bonnet bulge on F6s is gay.

Lambo for the win.

Standard the lambo would eat the fg.
Stock the fg f6 runs low 12 to mid high 12,thats nowhere even close to 11.1.

Anyone here own that F6?

Can these things do 9.9's with stock rear end?

true , but you first have to pay the cost of a house to buy the thing , then pay a team of engineers to modify it , then if the engine needs a service you have to take a hack saw to the tuners so you can give an arm and a leg ......
It would look nice sitting in the driveway though ..

Wow, doesn't look different to any other Lambo Huracan.
What tyres was it running? Around 15 - 19sec mark on the video it looked like the rears had tread.

Take a modded F6, Nissan GTR, and an R1 for the same money, and beat it everywhere!

I don't think it is really a comparison, it's more a bit fun seeing that a powerful family sedan with a bit of tweaking can still serve it up to an established mega dollar super car in one performance area.

No comparison and a useless article. An F6 doing runs under 10s is far from the bog stock 'family car' you'd drive down to the shops.

The Huracan would destroy it on a track too.

I love me a Falcon and am as sad as anyone to see them go (hence making sure I had one of the last ones!) but please don't try make out it's in supercar league.

Just drove a Shelby and a Huracan at SpeedVegas in Las Vegas and was underwhelmed by both cars' straight line acceleration. The Lambo's cornering and braking was impeccable , the Shelby was also impressive, but a simple FG2 GT with a tune felt much more ballistic in a straight line than the Lamebo could muster. The GT500 was also underwhelming in the straight line department, but scored an A+ in the vocals department, the 5.0 sounded unreal. Horses for courses. Needless to say, both cars would leave the FG2 6 or 8 for dead by the second corner, no matter how many inexpensive killerwasps and torque can be extracted from its sledgehammer engine.

G'day..Geez guys...How many F6's could you buy for a Lambo ? Who gives a stuff if it's modded or not , the Barra Turbo is a phenomenal engine..and for a whole lot less , even modded it's an **** kicker..There's a crowd that can get over 1000 h.p. out of these Barra Turbos and you can drive the kids to school and nobody would know..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiQYdkgS2sQ...See what I mean...and a lot more in the pocket than buying a pretty much useless supercar..Cheers Rod..

One is a mass produced car built to a very tight budget, the other is essentially a bespoke vehicle where no expense has been spared in its design, engineering and construction. Not only that, only one of those can reel off consistent 11 second quarters with factory warranty...

Pretty sure the guy taking a Lambo to show off at the drags is gutted, being whipped by a **** box falcon, modded or not.

A Ford GT smashes that and some! 1 mile "world record" heaps faster! 283mph!!

What is it Ford say? "Go Further"

I don't even think that other VW, the Bugatti Veyron can better this Speed...
