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.

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. |

It's clickbait media, nothing else.

Anyone here own that F6?
Can these things do 9.9's with stock rear end? |

What tyres was it running? Around 15 - 19sec mark on the video it looked like the rears had tread.

These comparos are always useless.
The only ones that count are - Stock v Stock Modified v Modified

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.

That result has well and truly turned me off ever buying a Huracán.

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..

Useless, who cares?,no comparison, etc etc
Pretty sure the guy taking a Lambo to show off at the drags is gutted, being whipped by a **** box falcon, modded or not.
