For the moment..I am still driving it
Haven't decided whether to keep it or put it on the market.I still have the carrera cabriolet and that I will never sell.



Sorry to hear you've had so many issues with your Lamborghini's,What models have you owned?

sweet ride man!

here is some website to back up gangbangjoes opinion and warnings.
the website is about the company lamborghini and the quality of its cars but especially point 10 and 11 are related to a gallardo i personally know of very well. so check out those two points.

www.lambounfall.de

I won't doubt that what was said there probably happened.But the whole story is riddled with theory and conjecture.I have done a lot of research on the G before taking the plunge,and looked at a number of cars.The quality of the build has been excellent.

Cars like Lamborghini,Ferrari,Porsche etc..don't get to and remain at the top of the most desired car lists if they are inferior.

My G is the 6sp..I really never considered the egear.I have an M3smg and am very familiar with the downsides to the system.

the smg in the M3 is working just awesome compared to the egear in the gallardo. testdrive one with egear an you will see what i mean.

well. thats what i thought too. anyways, i dont think it would make any sense to keep telling you how bad this manufacturer is and what bricks of shit those cars are, because you wouldnt believe it. i didnt believe it either. sometimes you have to make your own experiences till you realize that all those things people told you before were true.

anyways, i still hope you are lucky with your Gallardo, although i dont think so.
i wish you the best of luck. you might need it.

and 100.............

i wojed your thread

WOW! Nice ride!

How the hell you gonna plow the fields and pull the hay wagon with that thing?

Shit man, nice wheels. i don't like yellow, but I do LOVE the car.

I did hear about the software upgrades that were required on the early E-gears but again,I never was interested in that option.And I will absolutely mention it here if the car has any issues that the dealer won't graciously resolve.
It's my first go around with Italian and truthfully,without Audi's involvement in the Gallardo,i'd never have considered one.I have had years of good experiences driving German engineered cars,with the exception of Mercedes..but that's another topic.

well..the car is awd..so i might put on a set of knobbies and get the big trailor hitch for it.

Man what a sweet ride

Holy shit that car rocks.

I've learned one thing already about the Gallardo.
The Yellow is a lot easier to keep clean than my Arena Red Turbo.Drove it on wet roads today and it doesn't even look dirty! :)

If he wasn't looking for opinions he wouldn't have posted the thread. Its not a maturity issue, I just personally don't like the car. My friends and I call it the gay-ardo, so that is what I called it in my post. Minte didn't take offense to it, it wasn't meant to be offensive.

Also, when I said status car, I didn't mean it didn't perform, Lambo's are GREAT status cars regardless of their performance. :)

Finally, the '06 Z06 does beat the Gay-ardo in performance without a doubt. Hell it beats its bigger brother the Murc...

0-60 in 3.5
0-100 in 7.9
0-150 in 15.7
1/4 mile in 11.5 @ 127

For $70,000 its without a doubt the absolute best performance car per dollar... There isn't a single arguement that can prove otherwise. :)

BTW, I hope you know I wasn't trying to be offensive. Its a good car and you should be absolutely proud you can afford it and love cars enough to own several (we're in the same boat). I just do not like the car at all, however, did not want to take away anything from your accomplishment.

Yes, buying a car of that magnitude is absolutely an ACCOMPLISHMENT! :) So congrats on that...

i'd still prefer the 993 turbo - but that's maybe just me. one of the most beautiful cars ever built. i wouldn't drive any other car brand - i'm addicted... :upsidedow

but congrats on the addition though :thumbsup

i see you got yourself an evoVIII back in there too!

where did you get those numbers? all my research, i have found the 06' Z06 only does 0-60 in 3.7 (which is still amazing, dont get me wrong).

No offense was taken..I get just as passionate about packers/lions! :)
As far as cars go...its a good time to be alive,considering all the great choices we have today.It's like the new Bangle line of BMW's.I don't like them at all.I've been driving bmws for nearly 15 years and have owned 4 of them.But until this new line evolves,my current M3 is the last one for me.

You have an impressive collection. Congrats!

Glad you clarified your comments Marc, and you're right the Z06 is a great performance bargain. But that's all it is. And I'm sure I don't need to tell you that any Lambo owner can easily buy a Z06 on a whim if he feels like it...yet none I know personally (over 100) have put a deposit down on a Z06. Not one.

Why is that do you think?

Because it's not all about speed. And it's not all about "status" either, as I'm sure your rebuttal would be quick to mention. To some the Gallardo offers "enough" performance, and looks the best to them. Part of owning an exotic is enjoying what it looks like, its shape. They become rolling works of art to their owners. No Vette is rolling work of art, though the C6 does look much improved over the C5.

Different strokes for different folks. I have a buddy who's having his Gallardo buffed up via twin turbos from Jason Heffner's shop (popular Viper tuner), and I'm sure he won't be too worried about any Z06 being faster than his car. :)

Different strokes for different folks.

Those are GMs lame ass published numbers. Motor Trend tested it last month, 3.5 :) Check the October issue.

This ridiculousness could go on forever. Glad to know you know 100 Ghey-r-doh owners, I'm lucky if I know 100 people. Mighty impressive :)

My Daddy can beat up your Daddy, and if your Daddy starts taking roids, my Daddy can start taking roids too. BLAH BLAH BLAH!

I'm going to start a pissing match over this... No shit it comes down to personal taste. Frankly I think the Z06 looks WAYYYY Better than the Ghey-r-doh and I know 10 people who don't own one who does as well ROFLMAO!

You ballers should get some CL65's

Monster cars.

how much does that matter in a country that allows you to drive only 65 mph??? :Graucho

i can all invite you to take a ride on the Autobahn - just for the fun of it... :)

Well..we have the state of Michigan! I drove from Madison to Flint(422miles) a few weeks ago and made it in 5hours 20 minutes..and that was going around Chicago and it's tollbooths.All the way through Michigan,there and back I averaged about 95.I have a valentine one and it never went off once the entire trip.Only saw 2 state troopers.
