Default Just raced an Lambo Countach 5000 :D :D :D

I've just raced an Lamborghini Countach 5000 with my sierra

I never knew that my £4000 sierra would keep up that good with a real supercar from more or less the same period. I've searched the car and appearantly it has 455hp, 500nm and weights 1320 kg(2,9kg/hp) 0-60= 5,2sec.

My car: 240hp, 340nm, weights ~1200kg?(5kg/hp) 0-60= unknown

Anyone got 201m times on this car ? I'm driving streetlegal this weekend so we can compare, hehe

I was just under the impression that they might be and bearing in mind, I know fuck all about them at the best of times, my impression counts for fuck all

Either way its a bit of a buzz when you liven someone up in a Sierra/Escort that cost £20k new and there in a £100k+

According to the Autocar road test in 1985 of the Countach 5000QV, they run a 13.0 second quarter mile. 60 on the Lambo comes up in the same time as the Turbo Technics 285bhp modified Sapphire 2wd that they also tested

i can remember racing a merc sl thing last year. I was going to a local cae show and i was doing about 70ish and i was with my friend(in my cossie). I was in fifth gear and he tried to over take me, i just put my foot down and he had to pull in behind me. He did this a few tmes and in the end he got next to me and i just floored mine and i never seen him again.

I was playing with some superbikes today in my evo. The 1000cc 1s were catching me till they got out of my slipstream to pass, then they weren't so quick
