Great write up. Thanks for sharing. I think you'll be fine with your SL for a few years.

Randy@DomaniMotors has a reputation beyond repute

Although I love the RWD and 6sp in the Balboni, the Superleggera is such a beast in every regard. It is one of my favorite cars of all time. I would keep it forever!

As you said Stiffer suspension, louder exhaust, loud/angry downshifts, and interior/exterior styling that makes you fee like you're in a racecar adds up to an awesome car

+1 and great review. I spend quiet some money to get my P-cars to what you already have in the SL. I would not trade if I were in your shoes.

The SL is still one of my favorite cars ever made.

You just need to wait a few months

Lamborghini will probably unveil the new Superleggera at the Geneva 2010 autoshow (I think it's in March).

Good review ATL, I haven't driven either but from your review I think I'd hold onto your SL.

Great review. I've had fleeting thoughts about the "trade up" to either the 560 or 550 but the SL is just so hard edge and such a track beast that it doesn't make sense for me. There is just something about being rapped in suede and carbon fiber along with the exhaust note that is intoxicating.
