Like others say, depends on what your idea of street is. Mine is completely streetable unless you drive like a nut. It can spin the tires at 45mph+ no problem on 295/50/15 with 3.23 gears.

But I tend to drive responsibly.

My 512 is in the low 500 range, for it to be street friendly I had to put a VERY small camshaft in it, killing it by 80 ish HP, it is a solid lifter cam, my car has AC,overdrive trans with lock up converter,3.54 gear, it is borderline on being smooth below 1800 rpm, it took A LOT of tuning to do so. for a street driven car it has PLENTY of power, have to run Drag radials to keep it from being stupid.

What did you to the 518 to make it live behind the stroker, if you don't mind me asking? Just picked up a 46rh last weekend...

P.S. - every time I see your sig pic I think of the movie Blade

P.P.S. - apologies to the OP for the hijack

Wow you guys with 512 that is a LOT of motor.  Makes me wonder what someone needs with a 572.  Then again, I have friends that TT their V10 Lambo Huracan ending up with 2000hp and awd.  Yes 2000 hp.  Nuts.  Anyone local to north Texas pls pm me.

True enough. I owned a Gallardo for a few years, and one thing I did notice, was after a guy spends 6 figures at Underground or wherever, a few months later the car ends up in the Classifieds at a huge loss. Save a few guys, I would guess by that, that 2000whp is indeed too much for some. I test drove the Huracan when it came out and really liked it. And I'll be honest, it felt every bit as fast as the Aventador, and I didn't walk away thinking it needed more power...... I can spin the tires when they're cold at 100mph in my new Viper with a paltry 645 factory hp, I'd consider that adequate in the chassis that is designed to handle it. I think it would be fun, but stupid, in my old 1970 sled. But to each his own.

Huracan is actually a bit faster than Aventador.  Power to weight ratio and also the dual clutch in Huracan make it so ;-)

Because 572's are just plain badass, here, go for a 155 mph ride after sitting on a throttle stop for 3 seconds....

Yup, but when the Huracan came out, Lamborghini assured Aventador owners it was still the top dog in terms of speed. Which is why I was surprised the Huracan felt quicker...... When I drove it, there were no real world comparisons yet.
