I really like the green with black interior, perfect color match. The Murc looks absolutely fantastic.

I have never owned a Ferrari and only driven a 360 once in traffic, I topped out at 25 mph. Any comments would be a guess. I like the 360 better and it will be worth something in a few years. There will be alot of sub $100K Gallardos soon enough.

Why anyone would buy a new Gallardo for the same $$$ as a used Diablo is beyond me. Those guys with too much cologn and greasy hair at night clubs might, come to think of it.

Stryke please post a pic of the green & blue monster here.
Having owned several lambos myself, i think the problem with your account of the Gallardo is in comparing it to the Murci/Diablo. I agree on most points, but id definately rate the Gallardo and the Murci much higher in visual appeal. The Murci is surely a 10 as is the Diablo. The Gallardo would be an 8. As for the 360 as a comparison, the Gallardo is twice the car, in every catagory. The Gt2 is whole other animal, closer to a race car in feel than the Gallardo, and no doubt more stimulating performance wise, even though straightline they seem to be evenly matched. As for not getting any attention in the Gallardo, people were falling over themselves during my brief test drive. In the end, i would personally buy a used Murci over a Gallardo. I think the people who will buy a Gallardo are people who need more of a daily driver, not someone like you or I, who has a garage full of toys.

Perhaps the reason no one noticed us in the Gallardo was because it was black and a grey evening. I know for a fact if it was the yellow one it would be a different story.

I didnt realize that the 360 wasnt up there i'll accept what you offer as I have no experience with the Ferrari. I glad to hear that its a better car.

Sorry for no GT2 pics, its at a dealer on consignment. Its yellow/black. I only drove it 1998 miles and never took any pics. Hell I didnt take the pics Stryke posted, a mutial friend of our from LA shot those pics. I'm lame at that stuff. There is another GTR that was in the shop that day, nexttime I'll have all the monsters out for a photo shoot, perhaps some Las Vegas strippers to really make it good!!!!! Do you think I would have a hard time meeting them?
