Hopefully Audi fixed a lot of these problems in the Murci.
Anyone here have, or have driven a Murci, if so, how was the car? Personally, when I saw a Murci Barrachetta, I almost died and went to heaven, such an amazing car.

Im with u, the 993 is the best car you can drive if you want a daily, reliable, fast, excited, raw sportscar.

Hmmm, all Diablos after 1998 had fixed headlamps not pop-ups right?

Yup.. They were fixed headlights.. At least on the VTs they were. Not sure about the SV's.

Here is a front shot of mine:

A Lambo is really a labor of love (stupidity). P cars are superior except in sound and wow factor.

I own 2 99 Lambo GTR's(14/30 & 28/30), 03 Murcilago and a 03 GT2. And a 03 SL55

The easiest to drive is the SL55 then the GT2, then the Murcilago the GTR's are a nightmare.


I have the short gears in the GTR's and they have the best acceration by far.

The Murcilago and the GT2 feel close til your going over 130 then I like the Murcilago.

The GT2 is a joke at high speeds(150 mph+) bouncing all over the road compaired to the any of Lambo's including a 97 vt Roadster which I traded for the GT2 (plus $$$).

The Murcilago "might" be a daily driver depending on where you live, mine has 2k miles with no problems(yet). Diablos are good once in a while. The problem with the Lambos is parking them, they never blend in. The GT2 and SL55 are daily drivers.

The Diablo GTR's annt ever drivers ever.

I never had any of my cars on a track so I wont comment about cornering. I have never pushed any of them hard on the streets in the corners either, just fast straight driving in rallies (Running of the Bulls etc.). The Murcilago is the best for rallies followed by the GT2.

The SL55 is not really a true sports car, its fast and all but it is still too soft.


Hope that helped.

Funny you should ask. I lived in Stockton, just off Hammer Ln, before I moved to Vegas 10 years ago. I grew up in Tracy.
