TT Lambo vs Doug Levin SRT - Anyone seen this video?

[viprvenm]

Doug Levin Motorsports show off the first ever Twin Turbo Lamborghini Murcielago against a Ford GT, a stock Murcielago, and a Super Charges Viper SRT-10. - Video

[BullRider]

That has got to be the best sound in the world! TTV12!!

[mad0953]

Sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DrumrBoy]

Truly amazing how fast that thing walks away from 800 HP rides!

[AFL in NJ]

That's a great video, thanks for sharing!! A supercharged SRT-10...maybe 650-700 hp?

Regards,
Aaron

damn doug, thats a sweet lambo.....

GOT SPOOLED!

[Da1cop]

I think thats dougs lambo.

[plumcrazy]

i dont think dougs is the TT though...

[Da1cop]

What color is his?

[kcobean]

Holy crapoly batman!!!! That TT is INSANE!!!

[Marc Lublin]

Nice video!

[adamlotus]

damn awsome theres a tt murci running around in the la area .wow

[SnakeBitten]

You made my day...thanks....that ttv12 sound is absolutely intoxicating...........have Murci

[RichieSRT10]

The TT Murci is a one of Dougs creations. The 590 horse 06 Murci is Dougs car. It has the muffler delete and a custom exhaust made fabricated by DLM. I was surprised how the TT Murci pulled an 800 horse S/C Viper.

Sorry to spoil the party guys but what is shown is not an apples to apples comparison. Let's see a Heffner prepared twin turbo SRT 10 vs a Heffner prepared twin turbo Ford GT vs a Heffner prepared twin turbo Gallardo vs the twin turbo Murci. I believe that the supercharged Viper just had the stock Paxton kit. (Admittedly, four wheel drive has some traction advantage.)

When you say 800 horse S/C Viper, does it have 800 FLYWHEEL HP or RWHP** ?? Thanks.

[Bobpantax]

The Viper shown appears to be the same Viper that was at our VCA dyno day yesterday. It produced about 650 RWHP and about 640 foot pounds of torque. It has a stock Paxton kit on a stock engine with after market headers and exhaust. By comparison, my SRTC with a stock Paxton kit, stock headers and a Corsa cat back produced 653.93/598.16 at the rear wheels last February when the temp and humidity were 88 degree and 36%, respectively. Yesterday was in the low 70's. So you can see, this is not an apples to apples comparison.

[Whoaa GTS]

From the vid there is just no way that the viper had comparable horsepower to the Murci. Local club members stock or should i say mostly stock with bolt ons and a paxton put down about 640rwhp

[Art 138]

Believe I ran 651RWHP/606 Max Torque at the VCA Dyno day saturday with 79F - 37 Percent humidity. I have the DLM Paxton stock bolt - on, with Corsa Track exhaust.....

[RichieSRT10]

Kevin in the video they claimed the Viper had 800 horse. I am not sure but I doubt it could have pulled my Viper like that since I have 920rwhp. Having a stock Paxton set up would explain why the Murci pulled away so fast from the Viper.

[Boxer12]

Anybody know the gearing of the Lambo? That would make a difference. It is wicked fast, whatever it has in it.

[LS6 Molester]

I want to start off by saying that this is by far the fastest car I have ever had a chance to ride in. There aren't too many words to describe what a TT Murcie feels and sounds like. The best description I had heard today is that it sounds like a jet.

Doug Levin Passed by my hotel to take me out for a spin. Besides his wife I was the first person to ride in the passenger seat, and it was truly an honor. As nice of a guy as it gets, and a true car enthusiast. Very down to earth and humble.


Driveability:

The car has the manneurisms and driveability of a regular Murcielago. The car is driven with the stock clutch for the time being, and if you are a careful and cogniscent driver, the stock clutch should hold for a LONG time (ie no slippage, and no clutch smell at stops.) Exhaust sounds like a regular aftermarket exhaust until you hit boost then it screams like a redheaded stepchild. We were holding conversations while on the highway, and people typically buy a Lamborghini for the noise anyways. A/C worked perfectly, no gargle of backfire while downshifting or letting off of the throttle.

Power:

Very smooth and linear power delivery. Boost kicks in early (around 2.5k-3k rpms), after that the front end lifts, the wastegates open and the redline comes up faster than one could possibly imagine. Lag is basically non existant. The Murci is a quick revving car as it is. The car makes 800hp at the motor. It feels like more than that if you can imagine it. I have been in a Murcie Roadster under hard aceleration, and this feels 2 times as fast under boost. The car will spin all 4 wheels all through 1st, and I would imagine part of second gear. The blowoff valve noise under hard accelleration is louder than any Supra I have heard. Especially in a open topped Roadster. I have to imagine that when he was on it, it must have been an almost scary situation to be next to the car. If you the type of person that doesn't like attention, do not put a tt on your lambo. It is an indescribable sound that this car makes that gave me goosebumps. Nothing I have heard compares to it. Including being next to a Tubi'ed Enzo at over 100mph. It is absolutely incredible. The A/F at idle was 14.7 which is ideal as it gets.

Looks:

Doug is known for being a perfectionist, and this kit really looks amazing. It is still being R&D'ed, but everything is where it should be. The lifteable air ducts on the side provide air to the air to water intercooler that keeps the kit cool. Everything is either coated with heat resistant material, or thermal wrapped. The kit sits far back in the engine as seen from the pictures I posted earlier. Everyone around this car seemed as if they were forced to look at this car. Caused quite a hooplah at the lobby entrance of the hotel. I can go on and on about looks, but its a Lambo of course it is gorgeous.

I posted this a few months back. Yeah its cool thats is a TT lambo but its only about 200bhp upgrade over stock. Nothing really ground breaking here.

Thanks for your input but your numbers are not even close to what the car produces on higher boost settings.

Ok sorry for the outdated information. Thats the information I got from a website about 5 months ago. If you dont mind me asking, what are the new numbers for the car? Awesome car either way, I just couldnt spend that kind of money on my lambo for a small increase in power

[Bobpantax]

So, enough of the mystery already. I assume that the car was dynoed at different boost levels to test its function and reliability during R&D. What were the numbers at the various boost levels? Also, please provide some additional data:

1. What type of computer is being used? AEM?

2. Are the cats stock, high flow, or removed?

3. If stock, will the use of the higher boost levels result in melted cats?

4. What is the stock clutch, transmission and rear end good for HP/torque wise?

5. Was the engine built up at all to handle the higher boost levels?

6. Were the stock brakes altered at all?

7. Does a warranty come with the kit?

8. Does the installation of the kit void the Murci manufacturer's warranty on the drive train components? ( I assume that it does but I also assume that if someone can afford the car, they do not care.

Thanks in advance for your reply.

The video is bogus. If you watch the Viper in relation to the background, you will notice how it suddenly slows down. Pure rubbish!

100% legitimate, the outcome is EXACTLY how it played out.

Thanks for your input.

No problem - thank you LS6!

Honestly, the AWD started smoking the clutch very badly during deceleration on the dyno. I suspect the wheel size differences didn't help matters either way....after that occurred, we got to a point of "guess work" at it's finest, but this was only under higher boost levels.

Hope this helps
