Car & Driver Tested Twin Turbo Gallardo

It wasn't mine it was the one completed this week
(#2 a 6 speed). Think it will appear in July or Aug issue.
Jason gave me all the numbers but swore me to secrecy
as they told him not to release info.
What I can say..after 2 hours of ABSOLUTE thrashing...
nothing broke.
I thought to myself is it worth $1200 for a set of tires and
$5000 plus for a clutch (plus the down time)? SO I passed on the testing.
Kudos to the South Florida owner (who hasn't even driven the car)
for letting them thrash it I wish now I would have done it.

did you keep your stock clutch? Or did you have to upgrade? Is there a thread for your car after it was completed (either here or at L-Power).. Thanks and good luck with your beast!

Oh, and he didn't keep the clutch stock
