Post by 92BonnevilleSE »

The driver of the Lambo has a bad reaction time but none the less a sweet vid

You do, of course realize that GTP is a member of our Forum, and drove my SLEeper to the trophy at WCBF 3 years ago?

That's Thomas Stoppenbach, PDXGTP in Arizona. Founder of the Portland GP Club, and the AZ GP club. He's out here at WCBF every year (his wife has family about a mile from ZillaMotorsports here in Corvallis).

That car is one mean machine, and he's been a ton quicker than that when he felt like it. We watched him do a burnout with TC on, the whole family in the car, and all their junk in the trunk. 65' burnout to the stop sign at the end of my street. Thomas has done some tuning out here on the West Coast for a few of our members, including myfirstbonnie's rubber chicken.


(I'll move this to the proper section)

:eek: Dang, I didn't know he was a member on here.. That car is wicked fast and sounds great tearing down the track. I wish I lived closer to attend WCBF, I'd love to see this car in person.

Thanks for moving the post

That is probably the ONLY car I can hear racing side by side over my own car that I've ever raced (3800's).

I know Shadd's was louder, LOL, but certainly not quicker.

12.3 to 12.6 was close and had to do with the slicks mostly.

I'm sure our Arizona friend Thomas could dip into the 11's. :btruestory:

Lambos arent dig cars. Put it on a curvy mountain road with the right driver, the the GP is toast.

Lambos are classy chick magnets.

Do I need a "members only" Jacket when I get a Lambo?

Stock car lost to a modded car, not the first time that has happened.

EDIT: Are we all in agreement that it looks like a Gallardo? Stock times say high 11s to low 12s area.

Superleggera, and the driver didn't appear interested in frying his clutch hence the somewhat light footed AWD launch.
