I Drove A Gallardo Yesterday... And Hated It!
Yep you read that right. I wanted to love it, I hope I loved it but no I hated it. It was uncomfortable, it felt really heavy and it had a tough time sticking to the road as I was pounding the corners on the track.
I also drove the Aston Martin Vantage, Porsche 911 Turbo and a Ferrari. By far the Aston Martin was the best. I really want one now. |

Ross, I didn't want to have to be the one to break the news to you, but... you didn't pass the test. You're a homosexual.

Well I can understand why you would say that. I wanted to love that car, you have no idea how much I wanted to love it. But I just have to be honest, its not a comfortable car to drive for anyone who's not a midget. If I had an insane amount of money I would buy one just coz its a Gallardo. If I were looking to buy one of these cars with my own money it would be the Aston Martin hands down. Even the Porsche was insanely better than the Gallardo.

That sounds like fun Ross! Do you have pics or movies from your day at the track?
And what kind of Ferrari did you drive? Probably a F430 if I look at the other 3 cars. |

Hey Mike, yeah I got some pics. I'll post them later today. I think it was the F430 but I forgot to ask LOL. The Ferrari had the paddle shift gears which were cool but took too long to engage the gear. It felt like driving an automatic.

The last high-end sports car I owned (corp car) was a 911 turbo. Not only was it the best performer but being over six feet tall it was the only one i fit in.

It was a track day. When you see the Gallardo on the track you can't wait to get in there and pound it but its a dissapointment. I had to take my helmet off to drive it. Thats not a problem, but the pedals are waaaay too close together, the gear stick is balls and the handling was the worst out of the 4 cars I drove.

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.

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. |

All that being said. If I were only going to have one car. It would be the Porsche. The Lambo is not a great around town car because of that width and ground clearance. It's heavier steering at slow speeds is also an issue. The Lambo really does come alive on a fast twisty road. The Porsche works great everywhere. I could drive it cross-country. I've not owned an Aston(yet) ![]()

The one thing I will say for the Lambo was when you came out of the corners there was a long straight and you could nail it right down there... none of the other cars accelerated like it did and you could get on the brakes later coming to the corner as well since they were so damn good!

The trick to driving the Lambo is come into the corner high,then hit it and leave lower. The AWD transfers power to the front and with Pirelli's the grip will nearly make your eyes bleed. I ran about 60 miles last summer with 2-911Turbo's and a CGT the CGT would burn me in the straights but I stayed with him on every tight corner. We had to slow way down a lot to let the 911 Turbo's catch up to us.

Too bad they didn't have a GTR there. Would have spanked all those cars, with your grandfather driving it too!

Hi Ross
Totally agree about the Gallardo. I had one for 6 months last year, but ended up hating the thing. Way too uncomfotable, and not an easy car to drive round corners because of poor vision through the A pillar. Its fast, but has too many compromises. The icing on the cake was test driving an Audi R8, whilst owning the G. Within 4 weeks, the G had gone and the R8 is still here now ![]() I also happen to think ther R8 looks better than the G too. ![]() ![]()

Thats interesting you liked the Aston best. I always had the impression the Lambo was a bit of a poser car with the AWD. But I always thought the Aston's seemed like a bit of an old mans sports car I guess its just cos they look like Jaguars and old blokes love Jaguars

Sounds like you had a great time!
Must have been cool to get a feel for each car. I had to laugh at you guys trying to squeeze in at 6' 1". I'm 6' 7" so even if I could afford it I still couldn't get behind the wheel of any of those rides ![]() I did get to drive a Ferrari Mondial Cabriolet once but had to take my shoes off to be able to move from the accelerator to the brake ![]() |

Thats a 996 911 Turbo... the last generation Porsche Turbo, and I'm pretty sure thats a Ferrari 360 Spyder.
Didn't you find the Vantage to be underpowered?

For me the Vantage was just brilliant. Pulled out of the corners great, and nailed it on the straights. Wasn't as fast the Gallardo and Porsche tho but that wouldn't bother me.

You could drive the Lotus Elise or get a flying lap in it with one of the instructors and it looked like a lot of fun. By the time we did ours tho they had put the Lotus away so I couldn't even get a go in it but I must admit, it looked insane when the instructors were taking people round in it.

Just saw your pics
![]() I have exactly the same 360 spider, although my rollbars are black and interior color is tan. And I have the 6speed manual. And the Porsche is also basically the same, but mine's a GT3 instead of a Turbo (RWD vs AWD).The model is the same tho (996). That Gallardo looks so sexy, I can't wait till I can add a G to my car collection haha It sounds like you've had the coolest day ever man, driving around in 4 sports cars day with a pro in the passenger seat! |
