Supercars aren't always about numbers. Sometimes they are though. Like Jeremy Clarkson said, "You don't buy a supercar with your head; you buy it with your heart." Personally, the 599 GTB is insanely technically awesome, the Reventon is sex on wheels, the Pagani Zonda is like what you'd draw if you were a kid.

The supercar I want to own one day, the Ford GT. It was my 1st supercar love. IDC if its a Ford or not. My goal though, is by the time I'm 40 is to own an Aston Martin V* Vantage. It is not super expensive, less than $100,000 new i think, and they are already down in like the 60s. Nothing though, will ever top the Carrera GT for me, well, mayeb the F40, but ill never get either of those.

This Lambo stepped up the game though, it even pushes the original Murcielago's hp #s. Ferrari better have something up their sleeve. (anyone hear that the Ferrari California sold out for 2 years already )

Yea, I love that video.. If your making 1200rwhp off a turbo, its gotta be one BIG turbo so yea its gunna lag a little. haha. But, I honestly dont think the lag is that bad. If you notice the first couple races he gets in it right away and just destroys the lambo but in the later races he lets him go like hes playin with him haha.

As far as that vette video that thing is sick.. is that horsepower number from an all motor 6.0 or 7.0?

A black LP640 Spyder passed me today. Sexiest thing I have seen in awhile period. If it had been orange I would have pulled the guy out of his car and stolen it.

Lambo interiors suck. That whole center console section is ***. Circles + Squares + Gentle curves + hard lines = headache.

Everyone has an opinion which is fine. I've driven my fathers '05 Gallardo and the only thing I can say is that it DOESN'T suck lol. The greatest supercar ever? No. A really awesome sports car? Yes. Also, the interiors are beautiful. Nothing like the smell of fine Italian leather.

Saw one yesterday and a local exotics/Porsche show. The white and black is incredible in person. And the white piping and deviated stiching inside the car is insane...

Well all the switchgear is from Audi's so what do you expect. It isn't like the Diablos and Countachs anymore. Those were the real Lambo's, RWD and all.

You act like audi is a POS...........


Zonda uses a benz motor, does that mean its not special then?

Apperantly everyone has said those things are crap compared to the new lambos.


Ever see the topgear vid of them driving a countach? Looks better in the poster on your wall than it is to drive.

A real wheel drive Murcie or Gallardo is a just a matter of pulling the front drive unit.

First thing I'd do if I bought one of em. Same goes for a 911TT

In the Countach that is true(from what Ive heard from ones that have driven them, I have not even ridden in one). But the newer ones(even Diablo) are vary manageable car. Diablos, Murcies, and Gallardos all look good and they are great to drive too. Comfortable, looks great, nice interiors, etc.
