Thanks for the write up. The lambo is GT car. It weighs 4000+ lbs. It is meant for long distance high speeds travel(like in betweeen cities) or for driving to nice restaurant/club and valet parking. Thats about it.

Couple of questions:

1. What event was this?

2. How much were you allowed to push the car?

3. How much track experience do you have?

4. Why do you have two 2 seater convertibles

Yep, the Lambo simply wasn't edgy enough or sharp enough for me.

1. Supercar experience or some cheesy name

2. Allowed to push Caterham to 95% and Ferrari/Lambo to 85%

3. A fair amount Been tracking quite a bit for the last 4 years and autoxing for a bit longer.

4. Why do you have an NSX and a GT3? Life is good mate - why not have two 2 seaters with very different personalities. Makes life interesting. Plus there's an Acura TL that serves duty as the people carrier.

Crapola - You got me on that one. I would just think a M3 and S2k would make for a better combo.

Anyways - sounds like fun. Too bad you didn't get to drive the Atom.

The only proper road test of any Lambo would involve leaning on it while it is parked outside a Miami nightclub and seeing who you get to go home with. Any other test regimen is so far outside its realm of excellence it will surely disappoint.
