It's. What's going on, guys. Shaun Patel back with another race Motive Roll racing special. And today I have my arch nemesis, the Lamborghini Huracan. And now the only reason I'm saying this is because my good friend John Dong happens to own this car and he also hates Corvettes. And last year at Pocono he lost to Dan's C7Z06 and he wants to exact revenge on my C6ZR1. But before we get to that, let's talk about the cars first. So the Lamborghini Huracan, basically a souped up Audi R8 V10 plus with a fancy body kit you're essentially paying an extra 50 grand to just for that Lambo badge. But you know what, it's really worth it because it's genuinely a good looking car. And in a way, it's been sort of the benchmark for the entry level supercar for the past decade. 602 horsepower, 413 foot pounds of torque, a crazy sounding V10. It's a high 10 second car that traps over 130 miles per hour. What more can you really ask for? Well, you can ask for this Beautiful Velocity Yellow C6ZR1, the pinnacle of American engineering of that era. And to this day it is still one of the best bang for the buck you can get for a performance car. It's a supercharged 6.2 liter V8 with 638 horsepower and 604 foot pounds of torque. And on top of that, good old six speed manual. Right, so both very fast and capable cars. But let's see if we can crush John Dong's hopes and dreams again in a third mile roll. Ra. The car seemed pretty evenly matched on paper. The only thing I'm worried about is that he's got a dual clutch gearbox. Let's see how this goes down. Sa. It's. I feel like every time John Dong shows up, he's losing a race on this channel. Maybe if we just make him lose enough, he'll go out and buy a 720s and end assault or he'll just continue losing. Nonetheless, I already knew that I already had this race because America and you guys wanted to see a C6ZR1 versus a Lamborghini Huracan. So I went and put myself in massive amounts of debt and this channel and purchased this C6ZR1 just to do this video. Now let's take a look at the numbers. Keep in mind we were having a little bit of a technical difficulties with our data loggers. So we only have the 100-200 km per hour. Here they are. Just so you know, these times are not corrected for DA because the recorded DA was super high and therefore any correction wouldn't be accurate. The ZR1 put down a hundred to 200 of 8.69, 7.79 and 7.96. The Huracan on the other hand, put down 8.81, 7.73 and 8.02. Interesting. The data suggests that this race should have been closer than it was. But keep in mind, 100-200km per hour is a very small range when we actually do our races from 50 to 140mph. Nonetheless, this car never ceases to amaze me because one it's 10 years old and it's still beating modern day supercars like the Lamborghini Huracan which has a spaghetti spitting V10 with a dual clutch gearbox. This has everything a modern day supercar offers. These carbon ceramic brakes, loads of carbon fiber, a supercharged V8, I mean what more could you really ask for? It has four wheels, a steering wheel and oh, a six speed gearbox. If you want to see this car race other supercars, or any car for that matter, comment below and let us know. But don't forget to smash that subscribe button, give us a thumbs up and hit the bell icon so you know when we drop our next video. Thanks for watching. By the way, I put eagle piss in this car before I erased John. 116 octane. This thing only breathes eagle breath. It's a wonderful car. Oh, oh yeah. And John claims that he actually beat me in this G wagon race, but we all know that red G wagons weigh less than green, black color, whatever he has. And you know, so we're going to redo that race 100% and I already beat him. Got this in the bag.
