If you are a very skilled driver you can get a Porsche GT2 or 3 around a track faster than a Gallardo. I have run with more than one 911 turbo and they couldn't stay with me on the twistys. The awd system in the G makes an average driver a whole lot better.
I will agree that the Gallardo is NOT a car I would drive cross country. It's about a 3 hour car and I'm ready to get out and stretch.

Hey Minte, I'm basing my opinion on 4 laps in each car in a twisty track. The pro drivers who are in the car with you were asking if I did this often when I said this was my first time they were shocked at how well I was handling the cars and finding the proper racing line. Obviously you own a Lambo and are in a much better place to put your opinion across than I am. I'm just over 6 feet tall and weigh about 180 and I just found it difficult to get comfortable in the Gallardo. I think the Ferrari would have been the same had the top been up but as it was the top was down so we won't know.
For me the Porsche is an outstanding car, everything about it was great. What I noticed with the Gallardo was that the racing line had to be a bit different due to the handling. I had to go in deeper to get round corners etc whereas the Porsche and Aston Martin just went in and out of the corners with no hassle whatsoever. I would love another crack at a Lambo of course to see if I change my mind. I just can't get over how good the Aston Martin was tho.
