    Almost 700hp, 0-60 in 2.9 seconds, low to mid 10's in the quarter, 217 mph top speed, and it's not that fast?! I know he's got the F-Bomb, the Bee, and Crusher, but damn that man is finicky!
    I'm probably wrong

    smooth speed is decptive. Ride a modern sportbike and you'll figure that out in a hurry.

    Of course, the "not that fast" comment came from a guy who managed to stall an automatic. LMMFAO - still "dirtball" even with a budget!

    I enjoyed it. Not as much as the offroad one, but hell, at least they didn't blow the entire schedule. Maybe I mean "Itenerary" since they were in the Lambo.

    Ironic about the guys / girls thing. The girls are looking for the bad boy who drives the impending compound fracture? HEHEHE. Oh man, that's awesome.

    In the $400,000 perspective, its not that fast. You can equal the times, power, and top end for about $15k if you build it right, and dont use a SBC. 10s in a street car is fast, but its the price tag that skews things.

    DF is a knuckle dragger. Those high end Euro sports cars dont have low end torque, so there is no off the line brutality that he's used to. Sure, it's got 700 hp, but that is just a mathmatical equation. What's the torque rating and what rpm does it peak at?

    It was intersting that the women liked the rat rod while the men, the Lamb. I'm a big fan of DF and would love to do 1/4 of the stuff he does such as the road trips. The one thought that ran through my mind watching this was he stated his bosses where getting tired of his low buck stuff and give him six grand to blow. Some times I wonder how he gets away with it all, family included. I wonder what goes on behind the scenes in the board room? He must be doing something right, I have no complaints.

    Honestly i would look at the lambo to i have seen to many rat rods to go crazy i still like looking at them but if there is a rat and a 400k car im gana look at the exotic. just my two cents
    GF:Did you motor blow up?
    Me:No i took the rod and shoved it through my block on purpose...
