Isn't Heffner & Underground making the 1000HP Gallardos RWD only? Something about the HP and TQ tearing up the driveline.

Your worst nightmare...
The F430 is a very refined car, but the way the Lambo has been going down the strip its proven over and over again almost nothing could touch it...Go with the lambo.

You can't really go wrong with either car. But AWD makes it a lethal street car, so Murci me too. Good luck with your choice.

Modded to modded I roll the Lambo but clearly the car to own first imho at the stock level is the F car... heritage, inconic in nature and just downright pimp.

If its speed and rolling power that you want, like I said in the modded format, the modded TT Lambos are crazy. But remember any car can be made fast.

Ferrari is at the top IMHO.

I have a similar quest/dream in the FUTRE IE 2-3 yrs from now, UnderGroundRacing V10 TT package is going on the new Audi R8 w/V10 motor... Tell me that wouldn't be ****!

Maybe Marcin/Speedriven could do it...

Countless $100 bills wrapped up and down the driveline, and packed into the clutch

The Gallardo is the worst car to own and it is not a DD but if you drive both I can almost guarantee you would take the G.

I'm just hope I come to some money soon so I can buy a LP560 and send it to UG.. lol
Strange. I know a guy that's owned both, and he says the Gallardo has been much more reliable, and is a better DD in all aspects over the F430. He doesn't use it as a DD, but drives it enough to know. As someone said earlier, it's basically an Audi with a different body.

Looks like I may have jumped the gun a bit too quick on the F430 dreams. Silly me for thinking it would be a similiar price to the Lambo kits. NOT!

Guess it's nearly 80k so combined with the cheapest F430 on the market (120-130K) range, that puts her a tick out of the ole budget.

Looks like it's 04 Lambo (70Kish) with a 30-40k turb kit. She won't be the fastest Lambo on the planet but sure is gonna be fun.

V10 sound combined with wastegates, HERE WE COME.

Errrr ehhhhh, in a year or so.

Thanks to admins for cutting me some slack and letting me ask a non AMG question to my fellow horsepower homeys.

PORSCHE PANAMERA TURBO LAMBORGHINI GALLARDO SL600 E55 BRABUS*SOLD*
[IMG][/IMG]

Gallardo is far from played out. Lambo G from the 06 models on= more reliable and cheaper to maintain than a 430. I WOULD STAY AWAY from the 04 G'S.
There is a reason they are 80k. Once you get to the 07 models there isn't much of a difference in used price from the G to 430...... 10k perhaps.

You might be able to get a 360 in that 80k range.

good luck

A friends G coupe
