High-Speed Supercar Showdown, Balboni vs. TT Ford GT vs. Audi R8 Supercharged

The Smoking Tire heads out to Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch in a 370Z Roadster to find out which car can attain the highest speed on Spring Mountain's 2.7 mile road course. Can Matt Farah, driving a Lamborghini LP550-2, outgun a Twin Turbo Ford GT and a Supercharged Audi R8? We will see.

I think the Ford GT was poor. 800hp 135mph vs 550hp 131mph.

Where was the power going?

[TheSmokingTire]

@namybot These speeds were not achieved on a runway, it was on a road course with a very tight right hander at the end. So it's possible that he simply got on the brakes earlier than he needed to.

Great vid, but one question for you Matt.. I saw thet you drove the nice 370Z. But you haven't got a license plate in front of the car. Here in this country (the Netherlands) is that illigal.. and i have seen it on many other vids too. so is it legal to drive with just one license plater on the car (at the back)

Grtz Matthias

[TheSmokingTire]

@ghostriderbaby the law varies in the US state by state. in the case of manufacturer-owned press cars, such as the 370Z in this video, only the rear plate is necessary.

Hey Matt - what would you say is the best vert for 20-30g?

[TheSmokingTire]

@wfangnxd117 I kinda dig the Volkswagen Eos, but a V6 mustang isn't bad either....

@TVRnGTR

An Australian car with American parts, contrary to your claim Australian Fords are 100% Australian. Unless you were confused (big surprise there, since you confused a talk show with a car show, Europe with Australia and Australia with America) and thought Holden was Ford (it's GM, hoon).

@TVRnGTR

TVRnGTR: "I'm still confusing myself with Idoloish."

Yeah, Bugatti IS French, the Veyron, which uses mostly German and British parts, is not (that's like calling the 2010 Camaro or Ford Focus American just because they're American names). JC's also repeatedly called TVR a Russian car (despite the fact it's completely British). As for 100% Australian Fords, do you mean the American Falcon or the European Fiesta/Focus/etc? Or are you still talking about Holden (which is GM, gubba)?

"braking is nice!" hahaha great review matt

[MaistroDavid]

@YerRBZ S550 all day long, it's a WAY better car.

[TreeSniffer2]

@YerRBZ Challenger all the way if you are looking for a great track car. If you are looking for a comfortable luxury car i would go with the 2010 S550 even though i hate mercedez

[namybot]

@TheSmokingTire Yeah or maybe the Lamborghini is a very well engineered car that gives to user plenty of confidence.

[YerRBZ]

Heyy matt, think a 392 SRT8 Challenger is a good car and worth its price ? Either that or im going for a used 2010 S550. Not sure what to choose 

[thelambodudes]

You the man , the lambo is the king. Good driving dude

[BlueAvenue22]

Matt you should definitely do a more in depth view of the 370z.
