    gallardo spyder - took delivery!!!

    took delivery of a new gallardo spyder on monday... must tell you i am pleasantly surprised by how much i like the car - very fast, very tight and unbelievable exhaust sound... i had planned on selling fairly quickly to make room for f430 spider that's coming after the first of the year but now i'm not so sure...

    Congratulations on the new Gallardo Cantdrive55, I'd be rid of the 997tt before the Gallardo or 430.

    ps, does anyone have any news or knows when the Gallardo replacement is due

    There is a limited regarding picture size. I don't recall the limit. Take the pictures and downsize if you need to.

    I know it is early but how does the Gallarado compare to the 997TT?

    don't have the tt yet - decided to wait for the cabriolet to be released - and hopefully the new transmission as well by then... had a 996tt and in comparison to that the acceleration on the lambo is smoother - the turbo is much more push you into the back of your seat once it gets into its zone...

    I would keep your Gallardo. Personally I think it looks better than the F430. I like the clean, sharp, lines of the Gallardo.
