Nobody asked the obvious - how much you gonna sell the Lambo for? Maybe I can suck up to the rich kid from the other thread & have him buy it for me.

that interior does look kinda cheap for a car of that caliber and ditto on the vacuuming. Not that I wouldn't own a car like that, should I ever have the option, which I won't, but it does look cheap on the inside.
I realize it's about performance and not creature comfort, but seriously, would it kill them to make it look somewhat high tech on the inside? I guess all the money really is in the engine compartment, because damn that's clean.

Twice...I was trying not to ride the clutch too much, but it seemed like you had to or it would stall. Price to pay for gearing that allows 64 mph in first gear I suppose.

Yeah, a lot of the interior is from the Audi parts bin...stereo and climate controls are lifted straight from an A4, and the guage cluster is modified Audi. Oh yeah, in addition to the air vents coming from our RX-8's, and Rav4's, they are from an Audi A4 Cab as well.

The textures of the interior are actually very nice. Don't know if you can tell in the picture, but the dash and doors and even the ceiling are all covered in leather.

How heavy was the clutch and the steering in the Gallardo? Insane or livable?
Thanks, I love it! I could probably find a better paying job, but then I wouldn't be around awesome cars...no brainer right? Plus they're flexible with my school schedule so I can't complain.

The steering felt good, but the clutch was quite heavy. It would get old pretty quickly in traffic or any stop and go driving. On the open road though, it wouldn't be too bad (you'd be having so much fun with 500hp that you probably wouldn't think about it. I bet your left leg would become larger that your right though if you drove it a lot!)
