Does the Gallardo need to be modded?

Hey guys,
I'm looking at a 2006 Gallardo..gorgeous. I found after buying my turbo, i couldn't live without lowering it, upgrading it, etc..

I realize any car can be modified, but does the Gallardo really need to be modded? Are most of you changing the suspension to lower it more or tighten it up? How do you guys like the stock exhaust?

Thanks

This is the MAIN reason I bought a Gallardo - I know just like you if I buy the 997 Turbo, there are things I must do such as the new suspension, rims and Techart Body kit, etc.....just to get it to the point I would be happy with it.

The Gallardo needs NOTHING but maybe lowering it a bit (can be lowered using OEM hardware) and some rims.

I have an 06... no EXHAUST NEEDED IMO... its much louder than the 04/05's... test pipes wont hurt but its a matter of taste and how much u like your neighbors Lowering is not a must but looks a bit more aggressive lowered....

Will, you'll always find things to improve I'm afraid. Maybe not as many as on a 911, but you wont keep a G completely stock!

EVERY car need to be modded. I would say a drop is good for pretty much all cars. exhaust, intake and chip would be good, and maybe wheels. other than that i dont think too much else is needed unless you REALLY need to go fast with upwards of 700+ hp then thats up to you.

And an RWD conversion, and some new wheels 6 months into it, new suspension, weight reductions, CF mirrors....
The list can be made long and it will if your name is Martin
