And your point is? The Gt is lighter than the Lambo, no one is disputing that.
Were the two not weighed about the same time? Maybe i'm ignorant here.
At different times.
And was the scale not zeroed properly for the measuring of the Gallardo? what would change that dramatically between empirical measurements?

Curb weight is one of those things that automakers like to fudge a little. I also wonder how accurate their drag coefficients are.

Again, neither you nor I were there, but simple logic should tell you that Lambo has not done anything to the Gallardo from an 04 to an 06 to warrant it gaining 200lbs. And as I already noted others have also weighed there Gallardo SE's.
