Stock E55 or Lamborghini Gallardo
Had the privilege to detail my dad's friends Gallardo. I have driven only stock E55's, but have been driven in my dad's friends E55 Kleeman Stage 3, that have come through the dealership and am fully aware that these cars are insane. Although, hearing and seeing this Gallardo made me contemplate as to whether or not the 55 could hold its ground against it. I just have to add that the sound and looks of the Gallardo are ridicoulous. When he drives his car home and I happen to be outside, I can litterally hear him from at least a quarter-mile away. I'm going to post the pics that I took but let me know if either a stock E55 or Lamborghini Gallardo would rule the road.

I just love how lambos look and sound! It'd be nice to have both side by side in the garage. 
Btw: I came across a pic of an 2008 NSX.. I don't know if it's fake or it's photoshoped but it damn sure looks nice.

In the end though, I'd get the Lambo because I don't know if I'd be able to stand myself keeping an E55 stock.

I think though, Lambo's are already squeezed of a lotta power, I've just seen exhausts and cosmetic mods on LamboChat.

i didn't say anything about not buying a lambo, just not that one. I can see your jonesing to buy it and need alittle help from other people to take the plunge$$$$$$$$ don't get defensive just go buy it, if its so great.
and i see sex is on your mind also i think your thinking if you buy a lambo you'll start getting sex! lolololoololool j/k :v

What happens if you park at Wal-Mart or go through the McDonalds drive through in a Lambo?...............scratched paint and headaches.
The E55 has just enough stealth.........good for peace of mind.
Actually, the answer is to buy both - one for everyday stuff and one for cruising on the week-end (though if you can afford both, every day is probably the week end). :p :p

When you drive a Gallardo, you will get plenty of attention, people will try to run you off the lights or wherever
when you drive an E55, you give people hope :p

If you can afford a Gallardo, you should just buy a beater for a daily driver. As for speed, I believe the E55 and Gallardo are actually quite close. However, I'd be lying if I said the E55 has more style. BTW, that orange color is awesome. It really is quite stunning in person.

If you can afford a Gallardo, you definately should be able to afford a secondary car even if it's a bit more than your average car.
If you own an Gallardo, you should valet it at a 5 star restaurante and not go through any drive thru Mac' D's
