Very nice Shank.

The 600 is gorgeous!

Let me see if I can guess the wheels...

Gallardo: Avus AF-503

SL600: Avus AF-MO2

Am I right?

Yes Detective, You are absolutely right. 20" all around in the SL, and 20"rear/19" fronts in the Gallardo.

I also added carlssons front lip spoiler (thanks Ben at Wheels Boutique) for a sinister look. Both cars also got Limo Tint from the #1 tinter in S. Florida, Steve at "The Tint Shop" - Thanks Ross for the referral.


FYI - The SL seemed to be the fastest of the bunch. That car keeps getting faster as it ages.

Big thanks to the Shankster for letting me exercise his SL.

Agreed. If you lightly brake boost to bring the dryers into boost, there are few cars that it will lose to, or that will be able to pull on it, from a roll... I believe the Murci would eventually catch it but only after being deep into triple digits...

I believe Shank said it's a stock bumper with a Carlsson lip.
