After looking at all those, I think it needs the darker wheels AND the black side mirrors. Even though I LOVE the verde, it seems like on some of those it is just TOO green. It needs more black trim like the wheels, mirrors, spoiler, etc. The Superleggera has the right balance IMO.

I saw a verde gallardo today and I must say it looked really good! It really draws a lot of attention and the color really pops.

green and orange are the best colors on a gallardo. yellow, black and white are also good. silver, red and other colors are the least popular.

as far as clutch goes, lambo and ferrari are based off of the same F1 transmission. they all last anywhere between 7k-25k miles, depending on driving style and model year (06+ on G are better). these clutches are not the same as SMG so don't even try to compare. the clutch plate is much smaller on ferrari and lambo compared to m3 and m5.

bottom line, if you can't afford a $7k clutch job, you really don't want to get an exotic. after research and personal experience, gallardo is more reliable than a F360 and possibly F430. it isn't bullet proof like a 911 in terms of reliability though.
