that Lambo owned that Cobra. And the cobra's r not push overs either. Unless the other car costs 200K. But it did hang with it for a couple of seconds until the Lambo hit the next gear then it looked like a Civ passing a Cavy. (hahaha I hate cavaliers)

Complete ownage... the Lambo must be a bit undderated with the horsepowers... the Gallardo has a 500hp V10, but the guy in the video said it dyno'd 496whp?

EDIT: Im confused.. So the Cobra dyno'd 496whp? that complete *** beating does not compute.

I'd say aerodynamics came into effect a tad.

Cobra = flying brick
Lambo = supercar

Plus the fact the Cobra was right up there with in terms of weight, not so surprising results.
What is surprising is the fact it's a quality race video with lambo boys.

I was confused bout that too, he said the lambo had an exhaust and dynoed at 496, but online it says the gallardo has between 493-500 hp. Does exhaust had that much power on a v10? and he said the cobra was far from stock.

Nevermined i watched it again the cobra dynoed at 496 i believe, i believe the guy in the cobra also says he has no traction, so i dunno.

the cobra has more horse power than the gallardo. So i guess the gallardo has better gearing and better aero dynamics? Shouldn't a rear wheel drive car be quicker than a 4 wheel drive car from a roll?

In general... 4WD gets off the line fastest because it uses all four wheels for maximum traction, but during acceleration, weight shifts to the rear, wasting part of the power a 4WD sends to the front wheels, so RWD is better the rest of the way.
