Turbo S?! really?! Did you build it up in your head too much or something?
I would say the Gallardo was one of mine. Thought that car was going to be an out-of-body-experience.....instead i was cramped, the radio sucked, the visibility had me so nervous i was backing into things, and the attention i was getting (bright orange lambo) was intense! All in All i expected my day behind the wheel of a G to be much more fun than it was.

For me it would have to be the R8 (V8) and the 360. When the 360 first cam out I was excited to drive it. After driving my friends 360 for a while I was disappointed with the power. It felt like the M5 had more ooomf. It handled great, but I was expecting it to be faster. Same for the R8. I drove the R8 and realized that an M3 and a 135 could keep up with it and possibly pass it, that did it for me. It handles great, but it has no soul. I drove a 6speed and the flappy paddle one; the flappy paddle one was terrible esp compared to other flappy paddles. Perhaps they fixed it now.
I drove the R8 V-10 and I loved that, it felt as if the car finally found it's soul. They should have never made the V-8.

Just my .02, but JPCourt let me drive his LP640, I would say that was my let down. Maybe it was his too, seeing as though he upgraded to the SV. It felt like it a anchor swinging behind it when turning. Oddly enough it also felt like the front end had 5.0 wide wheels. Again just my .02
