Take a look at this video of a new Verde Ithica Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 doing a few all out blasts off the line using the updated launch mode / thrust mode. With it’s 5.2 Liter V10 pumping out 560HP (Gallardo Dyno) and it’s all wheel drive system the LP560 still roasts the tires a good bit before finally hooking up.

The e-gear transmission has been completely redesigned for the LP 560-4 with shifting times reduced by 40 percent and five different driving and changing programs. The most performance-oriented CORSA mode affects the shift speeds as well as directs the engine for maximum acceleration. We wonder how long the $10k+ clutch will last with this kind of abuse/fun!

Update: This LP560-4 ran 11.73 @ 122.97 MPH at the drag strip.

We were at the Exotics Rally Miami One Mile event today at the Dade-Collier Airstrip. We’ll be updating this blog post as the videos and pictures come up, but first up is a video of the Hofman Motorsports & Heffner Performance Twin Turbo Ford GT which has the highest reported run of the day trapping 266.93 MPH through the standing one mile.

A pair of Nissan GT-Rs modified by SP Engineering broke both the ET and MPH records this week at Speedworld Raceway Park in Arizona. A black GT-R with the SPE900 package driven by Hing Yim ran 9.84 @ 148.42 MPH and a white GT-R with the SPE1000 package driven by Alex Shen broke the current ET record running 9.62 @ 149.8 MPH. The SPE1000 also ran a 150.65 MPH trap speed during another run with a 9.67 ET.

Both cars have similar modifications including larger Greddy turbochargers, larger injectors, fuel pumps, intercoolers, full exhaust systems, along with upgraded 1st gears in the transmissions. The SP1000 car is running more boost and a built motor with CP pistons and rings along with Carillo connecting rods. The SPE800 GT-R put down 794 horsepower and 784 ft-lbs of torque and the SPE1000 put down 866 horsepower and 849 ft-lbs of torque to the wheels on a Mustang all wheel drive dyno.

Now that we have a few GT-Rs running in the mid to high 9′s and trap speeds over 150 MPH, the next milestone will be a hard one, breaking into the 8′s. The power and trap speeds are just about there, just need to hold the power down on the launch for some 1.3x 60′ times, in the videos you can hear them spinning quite a bit, even on all 4 drag radials. Congrats to SPE, take a look at the pictures, timeslips, dyno graphs and videos by following the links below:

Inside line put a brand new 2011 Ford Mustang GT with the DOHC 5.0-liter V8 on a DynoJet 248 dyno. The new Mustang put down some impressive numbers making 395 horsepower and 365 ft-lbs of torque to the rear wheels. Using a 13% driveline loss, this puts the new Mustang GT at just over 450 horsepower, well above the 414 horsepower published by Ford. A recent 1/4 mile drag racing of the new 2011 Mustang shows it dipping into the 12′s with a 12.801 @ 110.8 MPH.

We’re looking forward to seeing some more results from actual owners, so check back soon as we’ll be posting them up as they come in. Take a look at the dyno graph, pictures and video using the links below:
