not quite. The wife dd's the Range Rover. I would basically get a practical daily 4 door sedan (the new A4) and then the G for 2-3 days a week. See, how practical is that?! Family first!

Really? What year was the G? I've heard the opposite, aside from the e-gear issue on early models. The height thing is not an issue for me (unfortunately ) but everything I'm reading tells me the Lambo (although no Honda) is a lot more reliable and costs less to maintain than say a Ferrari F430.
Also I believe the 06 and new clutches are a lot more durable. Can some Lambo owners chime in on this?

You wanna talk about clutch strength... we are running stock clutches in 1000rwhp TT cars, and people have over 20,000 miles on them..
heres another vid I found of my 06 SE vs a Murcielago:

I am going to get some heat for this but I have had a number of Gallardo's in inventory and they are unreliable junk. I put a clutch in one at 3k mi. and a belt went bad on a 5k mi car. If you like dealing with b.s. buy Lambo. Also, I am 6 3' and can't get a comfortable seat position in a G car. Porsche! I would buy a 2007 GT3 for $85-90k put a RS wing on it and have money left over. Just my opinion.

Anyday.... from a stop the 997tt Tip will certainly win. It puts the power to the ground much better. Gallardo produces all its torque up top. On a roll, where the Gallardo is in its element it will go toe to toe with the 997Tt if its stock all day long..
Btw, how have you been?

I've been good man. Freezing my ass off in MN.
What's in store for you after the TTG?
BTW:
We are talking about $100k cars. (Ie: 04 or 05 Gallardos wich trap at 114-115 tops) versus a car that traps 120-121 all day long.
You know that.

I knew I would get bashed. No way no how a 04-05 Gallardo has 20k miles and no new clutch. Pitch it to someone other than a pitcher. I have spent the $7k on one as a dealer. REGARDLESS OF GEARBOX! I am not here to bash the G-car but I have driven more cars than most hence(and luck) the buisness. GT3 the sh*t! Need more power, 997 Turbo. Got more money, like $120k GT3 RS hands down, handles better and is more fun to drive since no AWD. But just an opinion from a passionate guy that has been lucky enough to have driven and no bullsh*t

For the car guy I am I have been real lucky.
My opinion P-car. Every one car has been pushed the same, although I was bitting my fingernails while driving some more than others.
