Without spending too much time digging around, here's the first HuracanTalk
thread I can recall with a trap speed result.
"Sunday at Shift S3ctor - VF800 Supercharged Huracan"
(For reference, stock Huracan's will typically be in the low 160mph range.)
The majority of our customers do these events for fun. They drive their
cars to the track, run for fun, then drive home all on the same software
and fueling. Even at that, there's always a 1,000+ horsepower "something"
(Nissan GTR, Ford GT, Gallardo, Huracan, etc...) that wants to go heads
up for bragging rights, and more often than not, they post the better
trap speed, but they don't always cross the line first.
Again I'll remind you that this was not meant to be a comparison thread,
or a verbal drag race competition. You entered the conversation based on
a statement made in an independent review, which is totally fine by us
since we re-posted the video, but please don't mistake that as being our
own message or opinions.
At the end of the day we continue to give UGR credit where credit is due,
even while we may unabashedly take credit for where we feel we shine.
Mutual respect is not mandatory, but always appreciated.

Yeah, they mixed up the RF ID stickers in the registration packets with the M4 and Huracan
and we just didn't notice until we looked at the results online.
(it wasn't super obvious on the paper slips, or we just didn't pay enough attention)
Stock Huracan's that weekend were running in the high 150's.
157 - 159 mph.

The way you state it you make it sound like you can out ET a 1,000 whp Huracan with a 800hp SC huracan which will never happen if its a build of ours. Just so you know we went 202 in the 1/2 mile in a STOCK engine TT Huracan. I don't think a SC Huracan will even run that in the FULL mile. It would have went faster if I didnt hit the limiter. THIS WAS ON OEM TIRES.
All this aside, IMO the SC is a good option for someone that just wants a bit more power than stock and that wants their local tech to install it. But to try to compare the performance of a SC to the reliability and performance of a UR TT system is silly. There is no in the performance category.

"bit more power" = 33% more power. From 604HP (480whp) to 805HP (640+whp)
"local tech to install it" = Systems in stock. Shipable worldwide. Installed in 3 - 5 days.
"performance of a SC" = fastest documented 0-60. Hypercar+ 60-130 and 1/4 mile times.
(RaceLogic tested by Motor Trend Magazine, and multiple independent VBox reviews.)
"reliability" = UNMATCHED by any other forced induction option available for the 5.2L V10 motor. #period
Again, this was never meant to be a VF vs. UGR competition.
All of the information above stands alone, until we get to the reliability category,
then of course comparatively it becomes more relevant.
There's no doubt that you guys (and Heffner and Dallas Performance) build the
fastest V10's on the planet! Our customers are typically differentiated by their
intended use, and long term expectations for service/maintenance/repairs/etc...
Even with more than 20+ twin-turbo builders in the US now, we send customers
to UGR on a regular basis (and no one else) when we don't feel e can meet their
expectations for 4-digit dyno plots and record setting trap speeds.
At the same time we have a number of ex-UGR customers who have "been there,
done that", and this time around just want to take a more simplistic approach.
(Call it more reliable, versatile, capable, or simply more economical/practical if you wish!)
A 1,200 wheel horsepower build at 3 x the cost, with a 7-11 x build time very
well should be quicker than a car with 1/2 that power, but at 1/3 the cost, and
locally installer in as little as 3 - 5 days.
It's all different strokes for different folks.
Much like the regimen of a body builder compared to that of triathlete.
Be proud of what you've built and satisfied in knowing that 75% of your
customers would never be satisfied with a measly 800HP. We're more
than happy catering to that portion of the market based on what we
feel we do best. ..... #argualbly ..... if you will!

"Call it more reliable"? The SC is (not) more reliable than our stage 1-3 TT street setups. The (one) customer that was an actual UR customer that put a SC on his Huracan was due to his budget at the time, which is fine. He will tell you, its slow compared to the TT and he will have turbos on it soon enough.
If you do send customers here for a TT, thanks. I have never had a customer say you guys sent them here. Anyone that calls out of the country that wants a bolt on TT system (don't offer mail orders), I tell them to call VF for a SC setup.
What is getting irritating is what you are posting and what I'm told you guys tell people. The main thing you claim is that TT's systems are not reliable, which is false. Our Huracan TT systems are very reliable, the 800-1350 whp setups.
that is all for now. thankswww.UndergroundRacing.com
