Gallardo Dyno Numbers?
(Trying to decide between the Ford GT and Gallardo for my next toy...)
Read one report of 414rwhp for a Gallardo (disconnected front driveshaft)... anyone else? Rear wheel torque?
And while the biggest performance improvement in '06 is the gearing, what was the change that netted the extra 20hp from the V10?
Ideally, I'd like the '06, but it'll depreciate like a dropped anchor, and I don't want to take the hit. '04 can be had for ~$140K, but gearing is so needlessly tall.
Thanks,
Stephen

I know the car that made 414rwhp, had full exhaust no cats, and was Egear. It made 366 AWD hp stock.
Having driven both, the 06 is a pretty big improvement over the 04/05 in many aspects. If you are looking for big power, the GT is the way to go. Im hearing 625rwhp with simple bolt ons. I considered the GT, but ended up with a GSpyder. If the 07 murci is not the reported 655Hp, i may well get a GT in the mean time.
I know of one guy who had a GT and traded it for his Gallardo, and is very happy with his decision. I know another guy who was looking at used Gallardos, and ended up buying a GT, and is also very happy.

FWIW, I think the GT is more car than the Gallardo. Unless you are getting a Murci, I say got for the GT.

The best part about the GT (aside from looks), is the power/torque... the worst part is that it comes from a supercharged truck motor with a 6500 rpm redline... why, Ford... why... but oh, it is so very fast... damn confusing. Also, while cruising the FGT forums, they seem to regularly find loose screws, bolts, etc... Ford: Quality is Job 1... yikes.
Not that Gallardo doesn't have it's share of problems... '06 suspension recalls/issues, clutches that are on it's 3rd or 4th iterations... '06 electronic nannies, and '04~05's taaaallll gearing. Lambo and Audi needs to invite Honda or Toyota to their parties, lol. And while you're at it, please make it RWD.
And Shank... thanks for the offer, but I'm just in the "deciding" stage... after that, there's the "how the f*#$& do will I pay for this" stage... haha. Seriously, I know you keep your cars mint, but I'd be in the market for self-shifters... manual tranny for me for life!
