That's great and all but this F6 is clearly far from stock if it ran a 9.9 quarter... I don't think too many Lambo owners would even care that a modified car beat a Lambo at a dragstrip. I don't find it surprising at all, given how much you can get out of the turbo-Barra. It would interest me if the F6 beat it around a circuit though.

Bonnet bulge on F6s is gay.

Lambo for the win.

Standard the lambo would eat the fg.
Stock the fg f6 runs low 12 to mid high 12,thats nowhere even close to 11.1.

true , but you first have to pay the cost of a house to buy the thing , then pay a team of engineers to modify it , then if the engine needs a service you have to take a hack saw to the tuners so you can give an arm and a leg ......
It would look nice sitting in the driveway though ..

Take a modded F6, Nissan GTR, and an R1 for the same money, and beat it everywhere!

No comparison and a useless article. An F6 doing runs under 10s is far from the bog stock 'family car' you'd drive down to the shops.

The Huracan would destroy it on a track too.

I love me a Falcon and am as sad as anyone to see them go (hence making sure I had one of the last ones!) but please don't try make out it's in supercar league.

I don't think it is really a comparison, it's more a bit fun seeing that a powerful family sedan with a bit of tweaking can still serve it up to an established mega dollar super car in one performance area.

G'day..Geez guys...How many F6's could you buy for a Lambo ? Who gives a stuff if it's modded or not , the Barra Turbo is a phenomenal engine..and for a whole lot less , even modded it's an **** kicker..There's a crowd that can get over 1000 h.p. out of these Barra Turbos and you can drive the kids to school and nobody would know..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiQYdkgS2sQ...See what I mean...and a lot more in the pocket than buying a pretty much useless supercar..Cheers Rod..

One is a mass produced car built to a very tight budget, the other is essentially a bespoke vehicle where no expense has been spared in its design, engineering and construction. Not only that, only one of those can reel off consistent 11 second quarters with factory warranty...

Pretty sure the guy taking a Lambo to show off at the drags is gutted, being whipped by a **** box falcon, modded or not.

Wow, doesn't look different to any other Lambo Huracan.
What tyres was it running? Around 15 - 19sec mark on the video it looked like the rears had tread.

You guys don't give the bloke much credit for beating it. Winning is winning right? Yes the F6 is not stock, but he probably didn't even spend as much modifying it compared to the cost of one huracan's wheels for instance. And he can still take the family to the shops and fill up the boot... with enough to boot.
