So! A few very stressful days later and my god this is what a supercar should sound like!!!!

Absolutely orgasmic to drive WOT, yet once the valves close and youre cruising, ZERO drone (i kid you not) and its just as quiet as factory. Kline have knocked it out the park with their setup.

Some quick videos today as was racing against downpours.



I ******* LOVE IT !!!!

I was thinking the same. Italian though - gauge could be broken ;)

Thats about where it sits, the cooling on a gallardo is *very* good. With the 21 litres of coolant and 20 odd litres of various oil flowing around. Very rarely does it pop above 60 degrees.

It does go over it, for example when you have to hold the revs to get the oil upto temperature for a level check etc.
Surely the optimal operating temperature of oil is ~90-100C?
I know @Simon is the specialist, but I can't imagine it's at optimal viscosity at 70C!

What does it sit at on motorway blasts? My S3 was around 110C at sustained high speed (private road, etc.)

It just runs cool. Once you sit still for a couple of minutes however everything starts to heat soak quite badly but on the move it sheds the heat remarkably well.

Hi all!

So today I realized there is a shocking lack of places to record a driveby clip near me to really open it up for more than a few seconds.

Anyway, here is one :)
