thusly is infamous around these parts
Decided to keep the CS

Hard decision, but the Marquee's heritage is hard to beat. Photos with different "shoes".

Evan, keep the Gallardo's reviews up!

Thanks guys! Between a challenge and gallardo I would choose the gallardo any day of the week! I have driven numerous 360's incl. the challenge and while nice they just don't give the excitement of driving a Lamborghini! Not to mention the gallardo is faster in everyway and a good bit less money to maintain. Both are nice cars, it comes down to personal preference!
Evan
PS- Though I did not pay for the car, of the 550 miles that are on it, 470 are from me, 75 were on the car when it arrived and 5 are from others driving it. The car sits in my garage 90%+ of the time so that is why I refer to it as "my car" though this one I say "our car" as we are sharing it. The turbo was "my car" as of the 40,000 miles I put on it I believe my father might have driven 50-100 Hope this clears it up for you, not paid for by me, but driven by me and stays with me I said no where in this post it was MY CAR and never would pass it off as such , the car listed in my signatures are the cars I drive on a daily basis owned in my familly.

staggeringly beautiful.

i totally want some of what the lambo designers are smoking when they designed those wheels. absolutely inspired. they manage to look both very fresh and original, without looking like they're different for the sake of being different.

i love Porsches (duh!) but no modern Porsche will ever have the soul and passion of a raging bull.

(i'll get to drive my first Murcie this month-- a friend's car. and i'm so excited! )

Honestly, I would say, "Yes". There is just something mean and vicious about a Lambo (not to say they are unrefined..but thats almost how I think of them) that the CGT just doesnt have for me (granted I have never driven or ridden in a CGT)

what he said.

the CGT turns heads all right, and we all KNOW that it is a special car. but the lambos-- especially the murcie-- just have that "x-factor" that sets them apart. never mind that a well driven CGT would pull the pants down any lambo around a track...

but the italians just know how to do design and aesthetics right. i rode a CGT and a Murcie back-to-back not too long ago, and though i would ultimately choose the CGT over the Murcie, it wouldn't be because of the looks, or the bespoke feel of the car.

LOL, but bottom line is, the older lambo's are raw and visceral, not the new ones! I was in a Gallardo because i wanted one, i mean handling and chassis feel great, the v10 is awesome but it feels very heavy and is so smooth, unlike Diablo's and Countache's, that my friends father had! The Murci is smooth and big also, CGT is more raw out of them!
