Very impressive, and IMO looks good too, especially with the funky golden orange.

Any interior pics, engine bay pics?

0-100 mph in 6.0 seconds :o
Only the Veyron is faster than that.

LMAO, its top gear. It wouldnt be a comparison. There is no way they would rate the American S7 TT over the Veyron, no matter how good the S7 is.

Charlotte Church the singer with the really powerful voice, but now she is a "pop" singer back in england, since she is english, but she has said a few things to piss some people off but she is doing ok in sales.

When you get into crazy numbers like the modern supercars, it's really a status thing of showing what you can afford and trying to have something that nobody else has. Aside from seeing the car on display, I've never seen any of the superexotics just being tooled around on a Sunday or something. They just sit around for car shows or displays and get sold in about 7 years with 3,000 miles of car show travel on the odometer.

It's just crazy to think that you can jump into a car, and go drag race a sportbike...that's CRAZY.

The guy I bought my Porsche off of, sold it to me, to buy a Gallardo. In 1/2 a year, he's racked up 8,000 miles already. That would be me...buy it to drive it. Although with the modern Lambos, they're supposed to be way more reliable with higher build quality. I hear Ferraris break like a 1980s breakdancer.

while this may be true; I've yet to hear stories of modern Ferrari's being like thier 1980's counterparts...

but... while great the Gallardo may be, If you take it to the drag strip, and do a hard launch, your warentee is instantly voided... :(

anyway...
when you see these cars for sale with 3000 miles in 6 years... a friend of mine has upwards of 40-50 cars... and he loves to drive them... but he definately cannot wrake up the miles like you could with just one or; perhaps two exotics... but when you have a sickness where you can both afford the cars, and need to have them...

so far, i've only seen 5 of his cars ( i'll see all of them in a week)... but... yeah, its a tough life to have enough time to drive them all as much as you like

Definately. There was that Top Gear or 5th Gear Episode with the guy that sold aerospace parts or something. He had a CGT that he hadn't even driven yet.

I heard the F355 breaks a lot. I heard the F360 breaks a lot too, but the new F430 is supposed to be much better. I dunno. It's all hearsay, but enough to make you think more about not only being able to "buy" an exotic, but being able to "afford owning one".

I had not heard of the Gallardo thing...are you sure? Sounds too far fetched to be true. There must be more to this story than one drag strip launch.

straight from a lambo technition; and confirmed by the Bugatti rep.

also, yeah..... thats why I want a Z06 first, and a Vector W8 second, Ford GT/ GT40 3rd/4th.... and of course a CGT, then the Italians :P

ferrari's are expected to cost 7500/year, no matter what it is, thereabouts... not to mention the Major service...

I read in a magazine that the 1000 bhp version is not road legal :wink: It would only be for track use ...
