Great review! Thanks for taking the time to post that up.

I, too, am surprised about how much "Audi" can be seen in this car. Audi is a great brand, but I would still expect Lambo to have their own unique everything despite being under the same corporate umbrella.

Very jealous of your experience! I hope to be able to do something similar at some point.

John,
How would you compare the gallardo to the 430? I personally like Ferrari's more then Lambo's. I have driven a few Ferrari's but never a Lambo. I am sure Lambo's are fun but there are to many negatives (eg. attention, tranny, seats).
You are right about rating the GT2 on top. With a few mods my car handles better and is much faster then the scud and 458 I have driven. And the attention is slight and usually positive, not annoying.
The only neg on the GT2 is the sound is underwhelming.

You used the word "defiantly" instead of definitely.

The guy wanted an opinion from you about your car and you point out his grammatical error? Seriously..?

I didn't drive the 430 for that long of a time. I felt the Lamborghini had more power but the Ferrari felt better, especially the transmission. I only hope to drive a GT2 someday, can't comment on the sound of it seeing how I've never been in one but I'm sure the sound of the flat 6 with the turbos isn't THAT underwhelming.

Don't base your decision off my review. Go test drive it and you be the judge. To each their own.

Here are the rest of the pictures.
