Reminds me of my 928 race with the XV-15 Tiltrotor (which has a 1 g peek longitudinal capability) with the same result except for two things:
1. I lost my lead at the 500 yard mark
2. We were on the same runway and when he went buy, those big red exhausts and turbulence was very scary.

When you are comparing fighter jets and this car you know we are talking about a completely different class of automobile...............best of luck!

 

I wonder which gets better mileage.

 

You're joking right?

 

Everybody knows that the F-16 has great CAFE numbers.

 

That is one awesome upgrade !!!

That Lambo is just incredible and to think you are buying one that is brand new untouched .... it is just awesome !! If you remember, please post a picture here !!

Best of luck !!

 

Is there even a Lambo dealer in Nebraska?

 

 

Just don't take the Lambo to the track. Apparently brakes are good for only a couple laps....

Yeah, they were very unkind to the aventador indeed. Whether that criticism is justified or not is another debate. But a $400k car finishing far behind a $28k car! There has to be some thing wrong with this picture.

 

^ I couldn't believe that either. Had to read it twice. Dang..

 

The contest wasn't for coolest looking or fastest 1/4 mile. The Subaru, according to the article, is a really fun, balanced, well behaved track car that just needs more horsepower. The Lambo was unpredictable, has a horrible transmission, and brakes that couldn't last 10 minutes. You would think that for $400K, they could at least get the last two right.... But, if we were offered either one for free, I'm sure we would all take the Lambo....

 

Whoa... I forgot all about this thread. Well, yea... got the Aventador. Not a single problem with it thus far in 3,400 miles. I'll post up pics sooner or later.

As far as my 991- I actually ended up trading it for a 550xi (winter beater). Ironically- another member PM'd me and found the car at a Porsche dealer down the street. That reminded me of this forum, lol.

 

and BTW I'm gonna get another 991 one of these days; just waiting to see what Porsche does in respects to GT3, Turbo, etc. This time I'm going to order and do Euro delivery so I have plenty of time.

 

I have flogged the Aventador in Vegas and also the Turbo S. The aventador had no issues w/the brakes...ALL DAY. It was driven pretty hard by our group too. The 458 and the 430 Scud were pretty impressive *** well.

Amazingly, every single one of us was getting better times out of the Turbo S though... , followed by the Aventador. Don't mind the times, I would still take the Aventador over the Turbo S for obvious reasons...hell, just give me both.
