They blamed it on the fact that the car had been sitting on the showroom floor for 3 months without being driven and on its inagural drive the Texas heat of 106 degrees and a random fluke accident caused one side of the engine to fire out of synch with the other ... They reset everything and the car runs like a beast.
In all honesty I'm not too thrilled with the LP 640 ... My best analogy is to streetbikes ... Both a 600 and a 1000 streetbike are f**king fast and only at the higher limits do you see the difference, however; when I'm on a 600 I feel in complete control as if I can man handle the bike, throw it around, have fun ... On a 1000 I don't feel the same, yes it's faster but I'm just kinda along for the ride ...
The 640 doesn't feel connected to the road like a Gallardo ... The steering is almost buttery in comparison and at extreme high speeds 185++ it doesn't feel safe ... When I was in my G SE doing that kind of speed I felt confident and in control ... I felt as if something were to happen I could steer, brake, downshift, and at least minimize my odds of dying ... But in the LP 640 at high speed you just know if something goes wrong your dead.
I think if I had gotten a Superleggera Gallardo I would be much happier ... I miss having a 6speed and sometimes I find myself getting bored of the E-gear ...
The only trade-off for all the downside is that the LP 640 is just PURE SEX ... You have the flagship, it is THE car ... The doors go up, the interior is quilted and classy ... It's jus f**cking cool ...
If I could do it over again I might try a 6-Speed LP but I think even then the Gallardo is a BETTER CAR.

Yes ... The SUPER G is available in a 6-Speed but Lamborghini will not discount the car $10K for it ... basically you will be paying for an E-Gear but if you don't want the E-Gear they'll give you a 6-Speed without refunding you the money.

I see...regardless of the 10K issue I would have to have a 6 speed. Are you thinking of trading the LP for a superleggera 6 speed?
