Ford was considering to put a v12 or V8 on the gt but instead put the 6 on it this race explains very well why they pitted that

​@MonABodmon not really, I'm a ford fan, but the aventador can go 220 or more, ford gt usually tops out at 217

[@freakypruthula]

So right before the countdown you can see the Ford through the Lambo window but by the time he gets to 1 the Ford is not visible. That was a pathetic drag race.

[@arthurcunha5400]

When he speaks 1 the camera is showing the rear of the two cars, then just before he speaks the camera changes to the interior of the lambo but from a different angle, and also before he speaks go, you can't hear the noise of the Ford speeding up

[@benjaminmatute9085]

Maybe because the Ford GT is quicker dawg. The quicker car is always ahead. What else?

this has to be the two best matched cars anywhere. awesome race.

[@djkuhl]

I used to be the assistant airport manager there. I went by when they were filming this. The Lamborghini was having engine problems the whole time. Also that runway is crumbling. I wouldn't be surprised if either of them spun out at the start because there are loose rocks all over. The idle statements that it was a short stop annoy me. Drag Strips are usually up to 1300 ft while this runway is 3600 ft. Feels more like they were paid to say it so the rich can get this runway extended to 4,700 feet and they can land their PC-12 and King Airs here. The Ranch At Rock Creek has been trying to expand this airport for years and years.

[@benjaminmatute9085]

You got to see the Bugatti drag race the gt?

[@djkuhl]

​@@benjaminmatute9085 I saw it doing some test runs down the runway but didn't catch a drag race. I bet they didn't want to risk racing a $2 million dollar car down a runway with spalling pavement and loose stone. They filmed in some other locations as well.

@@gamingmamba2584 no the svj has a mad launch, yes they may lose out over a distance with the slower shifting of your single clutch but either way you can clearly see in the cuts this race they started the Lambo Behind the GT. If you think otherwise then you aren't really paying attention to the video. There are several cuts you can see the gt next to the Lambo and then at the haunch they showed the Lambo is now behind the gt and the start flag. You can clearly see it in the cuts. Also if it's legit why did they cut away from the launch? It's BS.
