Drove '08 Gallardo Spyder, mean looking exotic but...

no contest my 996tt is faster, Torque is King. The Lambo does nothing below 4000rpm, but above 6000rpm, to the 8250 redline, it pulls nice. The sound is truely addicting. Deep at lower rpm and WOW above 6000. I could not stop getting into it at every oppurtuninty. Padle shifters were not attached to steering wheel so I turned the wippers on more than once. I drove the car for about 5 hours, including Red Rock Canyon, 13 mile, one way road, with lots of elevation changes and twisties, but watch for donkeys! Brakes are similar to our stock ones. Handles pretty similar too. Seats, stereo and interior are nice. I'm 6'2" and could not fit if top was up. The V10 makes about 510hp/395tq, dont quote me. My car has flash, DV, TB/plenum, y pipe, IC's, dual snorkle intake w/ GT2 wing, and is noticably faster at all rpm!..Well not at 8000rpm. Lots of fun!

I'm 6'2" as well and it amazed me how cramped the car was. I sat in a hardtop and could not get comfortable

I am 6'3 amd my friends LP640 has no leg room. My knees were in my face the whole time. But that car is very fast. At 150mph you think you are going 90mph.
