google FTW

The Lamborghini Murciélago can now be ordered with a twin-turbo, from Doug Levin Motorsports. Watch the video to see it in action! Nice.

Lag is basically non existent. The Murci is a quick revving car as it is. The car makes 800hp at the motor. It feels like more than that if you can imagine it. I have been in a Murcie Roadster under hard acceleration, and this feels 2 times as fast under boost. The car will spin all 4 wheels all through 1st, and I would imagine part of second gear. The blowoff valve noise under hard accelleration is louder than any Supra I have heard. Especially in a open topped Roadster. I have to imagine that when he was on it, it must have been an almost scary situation to be next to the car

The gearing makes it seem like it doesnt pull very hard, but you got to remember that thing is capable of 200+!

Evo gearing is around 4.53 if im not mistaken, so thats why it seems like our cars spin up faster on the dyno.
