Lots Of Sour Grapes About Performante 6.52 Ring Record

[Juno]

Well it started with all the nay sayers saying it was rubbish and hearsay and not true. Even now they have seen the video they still can't bring themselves to say well done!

So far I've read it's the USS Enterprise, it's a race car, it's got extra hidden aero, it's got dodgy tyres, it's NOTHING like the road car etc etc etc.

All this as they choke on their cornflakes

The Ring is a very public place and this was being watched with great interest by the Worlds media so the chances of Lamborghini turning up with a clone of a race car is going to be spotted!

You can see from the dash that it's not a stripped out racer!

I'm also sure that every other attempt from every other manufacturer will have also seen a few set up tweaks to gain the most out of the car!

Whatever the arguments it will be as close to the base car as any other future attempts by other manufacturer will be.

All said any car will need the basic DNA and that's been proved for sure!

I know Radical will be having another poke at it with the RCX which should in theory be much quicker, effectively a race car but it will be Road legal.

Anyway for now that's the record to be shot at, if I were heading up a manufacturer selling these types of cars and the armoury was available then I'd be at the Ring next week to beat the time, if I could that is?

So in conclusion for now at least it would be nice for people to say well done and if beaten some time soon buy the 720s or anything resembling a road car then the same applies!

So next stop Geneva

You're.

I'm only commenting in utter disbelief that you think there's something more you can possibly say about the bloody thing that you haven't already in any of the other multiple threads running.

I'm a Lamborghini owner but you sound like you've lost the plot recently. It's cringeworthy. RamboLambo seems restrained and open minded in comparison!

Oh and putting ten smilies in a post makes you actually look ten...

Jeeze Dude you really need to get a life, it's a forum you don't have to be here? Also don't compare me to someone when you have never met me!

Are there rules on posting subjects?

I like the car, I like what they have done and I'll say what I like when I like, End Of

Yes. Read it. You will see I've been active on it. There was three threads already, you've created number four.

Bravo.

And another http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a... So why don't you go P155 on there bonfires or is it just me you want to rant at ?

Are yours the sour grapes in the thread title?

No. Regardless of whether the car in question was or was not a fair representation of the car buyers will ultimately receive, I think both the car and the lap time are an awesome achievement.

There is however already a bhing contest on the main thread and therefore creating a purposefully inflammatory thread is a tad

But again your on it so I don't understand ? Any threads I don't want to cobtruibute to I avoid but I don't tell the posters that they should NOT post and complain about there thread counts and content.

If I don't like something I move on!

[Juno]

Anyway changing the subject I'm just off the Lamborghini to pick up the Performante from service and MOT

And stumpy is bad how.......?

That's the best picture of the huracan performante to date. Love it.
Don't know what all these people going on about it looking like a baboons ar53 are going on about

Jeeze I would have hated to have been at school with some of you,I bet you were a right little bunch of bullies,anywayI'm just so pleased that you find my threads that entertaining

I did have some respect for RamboLambo but constantly jiving and Lamborghini (not me) its the product that he constantly slags of,then I am afraid I have lost any respect that I might have had for anything he says,

Seriously 5'9" and your head sticks out of the roof of a Huracan,that's just derisory for derisorys sake,if your head does stick out then you must need corrective surgery.Apes arse pics, not necessary is it it really,In comparison I think I said the lines of the 720 are not doing it for me right now,that's more of a forum answer than a childish spat ?

Quotes that I couldn't drive one anyway and I wouldn't get round in 9 minutes let alone 7,really makes little sense when you know nothing about me does it?

Anyway you can Gang up as much as you like, i wont be topping myself.

In the meantime I and as you appear to want to change the subject I've bought a nice little project car at the other end of the price spectrum, God only knows what replies this will receive but at least it shows my eclectic interest in vehicles Anyway its fantastic work !

Full nut and bolt restoration













Must have taken the owner 100's of hours

PurpleAki said:

If so, why did he sell it? Seems a labour of love.

Some people enjoy the build process as a hobby and not the end result, he's already doing another !

I don't think sarcasm translates on a forum.
Anyway Love the evo but it needs to be dirty to be a proper rally car.
I just hope you don't get slaughtered by certain posters ( not me ) for your single garage and humble abode

Er that's the house of the EVO owner but I will send him a link if I do get slaughtered Er if he gets slaughtered

It's a museum piece. It's lovely but I'd almost want to keep it immaculate and not drive it. Any engine tuning?

Engine has Ross Sport Long Rod Job,Cams,Turbo Etc Running about 450BHP and might scrape under 1300kgs

Creating a thread about posts you don't like for other people to read and discuss
and then advising people not to post stuff you don't like....
but also asking "Are there rules on posting subjects? ......and I'll say what I like when I like, End Of"



So I can post if I have something to contribute that only agrees with you? ...so not a discussion?
or perhaps maybe we can all say what we like when we like, end of...and you can ignore the naysayers... which would mean the thread is kind of pointless if you took your own advice...

Bearing in mind those drive lesser vehicles shouldn't be allowed to contribute, they're lesser people by definition.

Passion and enthusiasm are great thing, but you know when a child or a puppy gets so over excited they begin to lose control...yeah...
Moaning and whinging aren't great things, this thread is about moaning


But if I may, from an owner of a lesser car to keep the thread positive and show some enthusiasm....Lamborghini, well done...

No just say something about the topic,the car no problem but you don't need to keep commenting on me personally. If you think they cheated that's fine,I will say they probably didn't,that's debate.This is topic about comments from people who said it couldn't and will not have done it, its now about those people going into denial, all I am asking is if those in denial want to see the light in light of the evidence. They can say why they do or why they do not want to but its not about "Oh another thread about a thread that's already running" because if you read it it's NOT, its different for the a fore mentioned reasons!!!

Who is the builder? Does he have a website? I'm interested in his creations.

The owner did the full build himself, check out Ross Sport and Norris Designs for all things EVO




All in a relatively small garage space

Well as a succinct and well worded response, I think that would have sat very well in the original thread about the car and it's lap time...
As it is, the direction of the discussion has been missed by most/all and failed...and then you've derailed you're own intention by posting stuff about your new addition..

I think perhaps that car deserves it's own thread, so you don't feel got at...and the Evo can admired seperately.

Yes I wouldn't normally throw an EVO on here but thought people might be interested to see my eclectic view and passion for all things automotive,lets call it a diversion or alternative. I bought literally on the hoof as I just loved the passion and effort with which the owner built it. Having had meany EVO's the older lightweight cars are great fun for the buck and keep us attached with our past.

I will enjoy the car but it will be kept as new in line with the effort of the build.

There is a long thread for this on the MLR so it has a correct home for longer discussion,I was just pleased that the previous owner wanted to sell it and thought it worth sharing here?

Scottish Guy The new build is using some crazy non EVO engine in a more modern EVO, shouldn't be done he said but wants to do it. Goeds buy the name of GIXERBOY He is a mechanic by trade!

I Bought the car of the guy he sold to, he was scared to use it as it was so clean so sold out for a daily driver!

Who is the builder? You said he was starting another one?

PurpleAki said:

Tactless question but what did you pay? Ball park figure if need be. I just don't have a clue what an EVO in that condition is worth.

In that condition circa 25k but where do you find one like that.Depends if you want highly tuned or more reliable power 500BHP is ample for plenty of fun and very reliable, 600-800BHP just constantly breaks everything. Rust is the major enemy so must be avoided. The older 6RS and Tommi Mak's are the ones to go for. Try find a good import with some nice shocks brakes exhaust etc then spend 5k to polish it off circa 450-500bhp.

I think Rambo's post references an older one he made with his cars parked in front of a house/garage and the comments it got. .... I think I spend too much time on here

I understand his reference but based on his general demeanor on here the 'humble abode' comes across as a patronising and snide "I'm considerably richer than yow" point scoring dig.

but lets not be under the impression the OP isn't averse to equal if not more direct patronising...

"You spend all day watching super cars go by, so your a security guard and spend a lot of time in a hut
You obviously want to own one,you're jealousy wreaks which is why you say they are all st
You clearly don't understand engineering because you spend so much time in a shed

I know who you are,

"

It goes along with many posters wanting to know what a contributor drives by way of justifying their 'knowledge' or 'opinion'. Hoping for an opportunity pour scorn...
I imagine there are a number of well educated experienced opinionated types that drive lower order or less expensive cars and an equal number of douche bags owning the more valuable coveted ones...

The OP was retaliating to an alternative post so all fair in Love and War im affraid
