    This car would have been A LOT better if it were a coupe.

    I agree, but it has an angry look to it which is cool!

    I raced a 2000 Spyder GT in 2000 at woodburn in the 1/4 mile. They are slow as it ran about 15.3 seconds as my Supercharged GTP beat it at 14.4.

    The cars that are quick are the 2009 Mitsubishi Evo 9/10's. they run the 1/4 mile at around 13.3.

    Chargers are heavy with the 5.7 hemi doing high 14.8 stock. There are slightly modified 3.8 liter Pontiac GTP's doing 13.5 -13.7 times or better. I'm Mad Dogg.
    For example: http://www.dragtimes.com/Pontiac--Grand-Prix-Drag-Racing.html


    When my car ran its best i was around 14.04 It needs fine tuning. Its a 1998 GTP with over 150xxx miles on it. I'm pushing 310 HP and 300 pounds of torque. The downside is my premium fuel requirement and FWD. The upside is cheap insurance and cheap parts such as www.gmpartsdirect.com. My insurance is roughly $72 a month full coverage. The car is rated as a family sedan.

    Here are some of my car clubs 1/4 times with Pontiac Grand Prix's that are supercharged and other cars.

    I like the new design but it just doesn't work being a sedan.

    For example, the coupe works:

    Wow, that's the best Lambo I've ever seen.

    I just wish the Gallardo were a little bit longer. Length wise, it's in the vicinity of a go-cart.

    ^^ It's not too short IMO. My buddy used to have one and it was close to as long as a normal sedan. A Lotus Elise is more in the vicinity of a go-cart. One reason I dont really like the Murcielago is I think its too long... looks weird.

    I agree on the Aventador. It's now my favorite Lambo and one of my favorite cars overall.

    Hubba hubba. Me like.

    I once tried to buy an original 1933 Barrel Back project - but the owner did not deem me worthy (Morgan owners are a fanatic bunch - and I did not have the required Morgan experience in his opinion to entrust me with the car's restoration)
