would love to hear how the engine sounds like compared to the murc. hope they did a better job with the paddle shifts than with the 360. Jeremy seems to hate it bitterly at least.

yeh it looks good..but the manual shifts like a blowtorch through butter (on the video)...and looks so sweet...compared to a couple of black paddles
I cant wait to see some performance testing of the Gallarado and see it in the mighty Tiffs hands...which I am sure we will on 5th gear come September

yeh I hate all computers in cars...telling me how to shift...how to brake...traction control etc...YUK....and if I have to have it...then it gets switched off immedietely...IMO if you need traction control...then your probably not ready for a Lamborghini yet...

I totally agree, but then again there are countless people who buy a lambo or ferrari for the status symbol and will never really push the car anywhere near its potential. They are likely scared and intimidated by the gas pedal. And i doubt the car companys wants to put their customers at risk of danger before they roll out their next production model.

hmm dont remember seeing that, but better not let the kind people at lambo know if you test drive their new baby...they might not be too impressed... :shock:
yeah but i think if you buy a super-car, it should be driven the way it was meant to be. Its a bloody shame to lock the car up in the garade and collect dust just to be a musuem piece or what have you. i agree with TT in that too many cars like Enzo and F1 probably to see much of the roads in their lifetime.

that would be great, im sure a lot of people who be interested to get an insight from someone actually driving the cars for once, and not just watching strangers driving them.

I'd love to see that. And Jabba, if bandwith or webspace is a problem, I'd like to host it. Got a 50mb webspace, fast server and no bandwith limitations (not using it very much for the moment anyway). Gotta be 50mb max though.

Transparent engine cover
What does everyone think of the transparent engine cover? Sounds like the F40 or the 360. Personally I like the idea. That would have to be a must have option for me 
Jabba I started the thread for your cars.. TT -> 
It will be cool to see some more home vids.. gota love these
