I have to agree with some of the comments made. The sound of that V10 is intoxicating. Heck, even starting the car is awesome, hearing that whine from the starter and how the cylinders start to fire up... sweeeeeeet!!

The level of detail to the interior is also miles away from our interior... you really feel special inside the Gallardo.

Best of luck with it. Enjoy it in good health.

I was looking at Nera's too...which number did you get? was it the manual up in Ohio?
the nera is sick as hell too...for sure its all about the blacked out lambo (a la cannonball run :-))

I had one in Boulder for a couple of years and just sold it. It was a terrific car. No issues at all and the service in Denver was very good. A very easy car to drive on a long trip although it does chew through the gas compared to the turbo.

Just a very good and stable car. Not as fast as my turbo but it is the most stable car I've ever owned at high speed. Makes the tt seem jittery above 120MPH.

Congratualtions.

I think we have a mutual friend with a pretty built out S4? I think I heard about your Gallardo...and thats good to hear.
I'm still figuring out the E-gear a little, but its really fun...and yeah the high speed stability is pretty insane...on the road trip (outside of the surroundings starting to whip by faster) 130-140 felt about like 90 did, which 90 felt about like 60-70 in anything else i've ever owned...it's awesome.
(and honestly, my UrQ should be way faster than either the G or the TT ever was :-))

I found an Egear from my local dealer that he had with 600 miles on it and was never titled. I was all over it. The thing was as new and I just had to do it. I think I am #125.

But as far as performance goes: This much I can say: I raced my friends new m6 and beat him by about 4 car lenghts up to 110 from a dead stop.

But you know what, I am over that race ****. I dont care if my Nera is a hair slower than a turbo. I have had nothing but fun since I got the Gallardo. Its just so exotic and the sound of the thing is sick. I feel like everywhere I go with it people react like I am pulling in with a flying saucer...



Martin(IllM3) we will probally see each other on October 12 at the Americana for the concours event.

Sweet, the Nera is beautiful...link me to a pic if you have any posted.

Its weird, but i agree with the fractions of a second issues...I just dont really care with this car. When i want to go insanely, aftermarket tuned, balls-out fast i have other cars for that :-)
