umm.... i'd rather have the domestic car and the money in the bank, even if i had millions, i wouldnt WASTE money on a car like that, i'd never pay more than 100k for ANY CAR..... i mean in all honesty, is there THAT big of a differenbe between a 100k porche and a 350k lambo?? Not hating, just cant see ANY car being that much more bad *** in every aspect of the game that it is really worth that money.

Are you sure it was a LP640 instead of just a regular Murci? A LP640 roadster is going for WAY over 330k.

Youve never driven one have you? The Murci wouldnt fair very well from a dig, they cant launch that hard because of the clutch.

In the older lambos like the GT and the GTR's they are street legal races cars.

OH PLEASE! A crap GM magazine test. Go do a search - low-mid 12s in the mid-high teens. AWD and great handling too.

Uh, NO. Murcis will hit 60mph in about 3.8 seconds, the LP640 even LESS. AWD helps, a lot. It just depends on the driver.

Sweet....As to the money thing..People who can afford 300K cars dont really even care about cars to much. They have yacts and planes that they show off. Or just a bunch of homes here and there. A ferrari/Lambo isnt a big deal..Total differant mind set than us mere mortals

Guess you have failed to read all of the problems people are having with the clutches. People have been reporting that just a couple of dumps at the strip is burning the clutch out and they arent being warranted and the people are being charged something like $12,000 for parts and labor. I dont care how rich you are thats ridiculous.

Exotics like that are about more than going fast in a straight line. Other aspects such as build quality, sound, prestige, luxury, handling, braking, and status come into play as well. Just something to think about.

For $330K, it's mostly the status thing. The other stuff isn't good enough to give it that price tag.

Well I saw the same car, that thing is badass.. As far as the Ferarri, I have seen the blue one a million times. Guy works out a Pro Health right next to my office. This one was Ferarri Red

I wouldnt say that exactly. Some of the biggest car guys I know of are exotic car owners. For instance Jim Glickenhaus the guy who owns the modded enzo/P4-5.

Nice kill bro. There are a few up north that I really want to play around with. Obviously exotics would rape me since Im basically stock but it would still be really fun.
