new toy...

Hi guys,

Have not been around so much lately...working like a fool :-))

Anyway, I am picking up a new toy this week...an '05 Gallardo.

Should be fun...

Yes...I think we all know the result in a drag race down the freeway. I will be interested to see how it compares on twisty back roads. Won't be any turbo lag on the Gallardo! Pretty sure it will handle much better too. Have talked with Cary about doing a little work on it if it understeers. Should not be hard to get sorted.

Thanks guys...it will be fun. Was going to get a 360 CS, but after reading alot, the Gallardo seems better to me. 5 liter motor, better looks in my estimation. Not sure that I really think the all wheel drive is all good...will know soon. Hope it does not understeer like the 996tt...at least when it was stock...

Congrats! You'll love the Gallardo.I've had mine about 2 months now,and it just keeps getting better.I'm finding that roads I drove for years with my 993TT i can drive much faster in the Gallardo.It breaks into triple digit speeds so fast and effortlessly,you have no idea at how fast you are going.
Great color on your car!

If I can only afford one sports car going forward i will most likely stick to italian....

Again...thanks guys. One of the things I am most intrigued with is how the Kreis-sieg exhaust will sound and perform. From what I am hearing from the sound clips...pretty nice.

Yes... I did. You will have to inquire of him on that...I did not find that out.

And yes...I did find out about it through Roy. He was very helpful and professional. Recommend both Roy Cats and Bill (Discovery Auto) very, very highly.

Car is awesome...think it does have some push after driving it home to Seattle. Will sort with Cary...we have already spoken about this. Kresi-sieg exhaust is amazing...it sound like an F-1 car. I am normally not too interested in things like how an exhaust sounds. But this is truly off the charts...and worth the price I think.

Will write more later...very tired after a long drive.

John
