OMFG I was laughing so hard at the part about how anyone can drive it fast, and they have a dog driving the car. Hahha I love this show.

so what was the gt2 time?

Well from Clarkson reaction it was faster but I think they are not going to say since he hates Porsches so much, and I just checked the website and they only updated it with the Lambo's time. So Maybe they will do a more complete review later in the season of the GT2.

all you have to do to a Gallardo to convert it from 4WD to 2WD is take the front driveshaft out. pay Heffner to twin turbocharge it and you have an exotic version of Americas corvette. best bang for the buck in the exotic car world as it will hang with a Veyron from 0-200 mph and costs 4X less $$$ :read:

nah, Id rather a GT40 with twins :D

Gallardo is too ugly, the Murcielago is much better looking imo

Agreed. i see gallardo's all the time and they are short and stumpy looking. besides i rather stay with an American car, cause I am a redneck:beer: A GT TT or a ZO6 TT would be my pick, maybe a Viper TT, but I dont like the way they sound.

Id take the Lambo simply b/c of it's sound, my goodness it's sick.

W/ it beating the GT2 in the drag race, I wonder how it will stack up to the ZR1?

Knowing Clarkson hate for Porsche i would not be surprised if that race a bull. he is now Lambo Nutswinger since he owns a gallardo and it is clear from every review he has ever done of a prosche besides the Carrera GT has been bad and calls them Beetles.

The LP560 weighs 3300lbs and has 85hp less and 204ft/lbs of torque less then the ZR1 but with a half tank of gasit weighs about the same as the ZR1. I really do not see how it could keep up in a roll race but from a digg it may hang right with it since some of the tests in the quarter have shown 11.20's so right with the ZR1, but it launches hard with great traction.
