Must have been a tip?? Porsche claims a stock tip is 5/10 slower to 60 than the 6 speed??

Beautiful cars, and they're asking $200,000!
Ciao

Yeah, if you are at all tall, this car doesn't work anyway. They have wooden bugs bunny with a ruler (like at 6 flags) in front of the car before you enter. If you are over this 72 inches you are not allowed to ride this vehicle

I haven't fit in any previous Lambo, and I guess this one's no different.

No, not different at all. I fit ok in the Murcielago, but the Gallardo, forget it. Over 6 feet, forget it. I am 6'4"

Who conducted the tests? A 9.7 0-100 mph is something that even a stock Turbo Tip can do. What a bunch of lying fanboys. The Gallardo just looks weird IMO.

Final decision will be made next hursday but I am leaning towards the Metallic Pearl Yellow, maybe the Metallic Black. Either way It will have the two tone interior w/yellow and black.

IÂ´ve read it correcty. Read it again:

Quote:

100MPH flashed by in 9.7 sec and 150MPH in 23.3sec.The 911 Turbo couldn't match that-not even in the dry.

It says here that the Turbo could not match those figures even in the dry.

It's not overall height that's the issue with me, it's my "sitting height" ...my long torso.

I have the sunroof delete option on my Turbo which provides about an inch of additional head room, and with the seat all the way down my head still touches the headliner.

EVO's car of the year is the GT3, the Gallardo came in 2nd. In addition, I think it was EVO that did a test of an X50 Turbo and a Mercielago, the X50 won that test as well.

I'd like to see a head to head test without the writers "subjective" input on the results...

Orange is also available with two tone orange interior. Orlando had one, and it looked fabulous.

I don't see any way they can not get the X50 to 60 in 4.4 seconds or less in dry conditions. They must have either had a tiptronic and/or a really crappy driver with a heavyset passenger, and flat tires. And started in third.
