Default 2005 Gallardo Spyder

Was going to a local car meet and as i was getting on 595 (a highway) i see a lambo getting on at the same time. It was a gallardo spyder with temp tag and a bald dude driving. I was saying the whole night man i wish i could race someone on teh bottle. i get next to him downshift and toy a lil with him. He looks over at me and i motion him to go i hear him downshift and that thing wind up. He takes off and i nail it and start pulling on him my buddy marks like holy s**t your beating a lambo. He lets off after i put around a car on him. Pulls back up and gives me a thumbs up and motions to go again. So i give him a slight jump this time and nail it made about the same pull on him and then shut down around 125 with almost a car on him again. He was a cool *** guy with a cool *** car. My best kill to date ever. LS1+Spray=

Confuzed you would be a better race for the prominent Lambo murcielago that is the 6.2 liter V-10. Your car is a beast you would probably manhandle the gallardo i raced. It just felt good to shut down "Almighty Exotic" but the guy was actually cool and threw me a thumbs up.

the murcielago has 580hp while the gallardo is rated at 520hp so you could be right but i didnt pull cars on this thing i edged him out by a car.

Na, I ran across a purple Mercialgo roadster here few weeks back, its in the kills section, it was sad. I even let him get the jump, then I hit it. Id still trade my Cobra for it, then sell it.

nice kill. The murc is quite a bit faster than the gallardo up top...say from 120-175 the murc. would eat the gallardo alive.

Anyway nice kill and I would take a Z06 over a murc. or gallardo any day of the week

I would love to get a shot at a Lamborghini Gallardo. Should smoke his heavy ***.
Most exotic car I've ever run and beat was Ferrari Testarossa. License plate V12TEST
The guy was a complete *******, probably because he was embarrassed by me in front of his girlfriend. Anyways, AWESOME KILL!!! Everyone calls me lucky for getting to run some of the cars I run, but you my friend take the cake. Haven't even seen a Gallardo around here. Although I know there are several registered. They must be so rich that they buy the cars and hide them in the garage and never drive them. What a waste. Hope you find one of the bigger Lambos and kill it too. Diablo etc, etc.
