Underground Racing



       Underground racing is a small aftermarket performance company for high end exotic cars. I check youtube and streetfire.com daily to see if any new cars or aftermarket companies have made a new car that pushes the concept of speed. It seems that every already fast car is getting a pair of turbo chargers slapped onto it and pushed to its limit, and this seems to have started with the work done on the Ford Gt's. The 2005 Ford GT had a supercharged 5.4 liter V8 that produced 540bhp, a lot for the time. But one crazy owner of a Ford GT
decided to get rid of the supercharger and slap on 2 enormous turbochargers. After a few months of work Joes Ford GTtt was complete, and pushing well over 1,300whp, or 1,495bhp if there is a 15% drivetrain loss. This is an incredible gain in power, and it was the start to the insane world of high horsepower street legal cars.
      Underground Racing is based out of Charlotte, NC. I remember the first video I saw of their Lamborghini and my jaw hit the table. I thought that Lamborghini's stock 5.2 liter V10 with 540bhp was plenty, especially with how light the car is. But some people just wont settle for that number. Underground racing offers many different upgrade packages ranging from 770awhp all the way to a mind boggling 1,550awhp. There are many videos online that will leave most car enthusiasts speechless, and they all give proof to the quality and pure power of these cars.
      The fastest thing with a motor and wheels that i new of was the Suzuki Hayabusa, capable of a sub 10 second 1/4 mile and speeds over 180 mph. Now imagine that bike with 317whp, lots of carbon body work and a trained rider. The combination sounds almost unbeatable, but UGR's (UnderGround Racing) Lamborghini puts this bike to shame.

Watch this and be in awe:
