versionJDM, have you seen the comparison of the 2 Lambo's vs Ferrari vs 911 turbo vs NSX-R? It's a BMI video that gives a good account of the Gallardo and how it stacks up against other high-end sports cars on the track.
Peep it if you haven't, it's a great vid!
Anyone else see the BMI video?

i can understand that, but this is also the same guys that bashes the C6 Z, even though it clocked the fastest time on there test track(in the wet, IIRC).
but thats HIS opinion, and this is mine, thats the bueaty of life, I DONT HAVE to like the lambo.

Having an opinion is fine. At least let it be a qualified opinion though.
I can give two shits less if the C6 Z06 is faster around a course. There's much more to a car's' worthiness then track times.

Yeah but how do you qualify your statement of calling it junk? Do you have intimate experience with the car? HAve you ever owned one?

Besides, the Lambo owner would probably tell you to go wash his Bentley for calling it junk...

having learned from the recent events surrounding Xviper, i am not going to turn this into a bash fest or anything like that. i have an opinion, i expressed it on a public forum and thats that.
call me "pwned" or whatever but i respectfully bow out of the discussion.

Well then, since some british moron is buying then that changes my whole opinion on it. 
lambo has been known for years for building second rate cars for stupid prices. for 200k and is not faster than the cheaper F430/911T/Zo6, give me a break. no wonder someone traded it for a Sti.
i also have to apologize for once again having a personal opinion. i keep forgetting that i must always follow the norm and make sure i like exactly what the britsh Tv mag are pissing all over.
to the brillance of the "JDM fanboi" comment, yep because i like JDM stuff, so that means i HATE everything else. nice generalization.

additionally, regardless of what you think about clarkson (personally i like him except for his american car hatred) he gets to drive a lot of nice cars so for me his opinion does count. i don't think lambo is giving him a free one because he's touting it.

I too don't consider the Gallardo a real Lambo, just like ppl feel the Boxster is a poor man's Porsche 
Murcielago on the other hand, oh GOD if money grew on trees...
