I never understood the concept behind the C4S. A 4 wheel drive super-sports car is just not my idea of reasonable. 4WD < 2WD around a track. No questions. Granted, I own an A4, I would never buy a C4S...If I had weather problems where I lived, I would get a Cayenne or something of that variety.
The Gallardo shows us how fast a awd car can be (3 seconds faster then Porsche GT2 on Hockenheim with near the same power). We had have a lot of discussions what is faster on race track. An AWD is faster for an amateur a rwd could be faster for a profi. I don't know if you are a profi or not.

2004 996GT2's Hockenheim lap time is 1:11,6 and the Gallardo's is 1:11,8
(and also several seconds faster at the ring too)
The Gallardo would be faster around the track without its viscous-coupling AWD (just like the 911 RWD is faster than the AWD equivalent) just less user-friendly with 500HP
If they do lauch a RWD version then we will see a further drop in lap times.
Sorry, you are right, I have looked at 996 tt times

:
Nordschleife 996 GT2 is 6,0 seconds faster
Hockenheim Gallardo is 0,8 seconds faster
Gallardo 3,2 kg/PS
996 GT2 3,13 kg/PS
I think the Nordschleife goes to the 996 GT2 because it has a better power/weight ratio and is lighter. For Hockenheim it must be the tracktion.
Or what do you think?
