After putting 400 miles on Lambo, the simple answer is GT3 is a track car Lambo is for everything else (and can track). Super comfortable, fast as lighting (that 0-60 2.5 seconds is accurate--trust me), looks/lines are like no other car, electronics are cutting edge and the sound--OH the sounds

Monster congrats Paul....... It's the only Lambo I've been tempted by with incredible performance to match it looks for once.....

But in the UK I would be worried about speed bumps..... we have them everywhere and it seems very low at the front. Is the front adjustable like some Ferraris are ..... or do I need to move to Texas ......

Apart from the classic Miura, I've never previously been impressed by the looks of a Lamborghini, but this is really a great looking car. Looks good from any angle and just epitomises the term "supercar".
I was never tempted to have the famous Countach poster on the wall but I could look at this one every day.

Yes Augusta this time of year is very fun, I didn't see your quote until now and after I had posted another reply .... I've been so many times now that we sell our tickets every year and enjoy it from the best spot off of the course ..... Home ..... Here's a picture of my sweet Ivy Katherine Murphy and I, not the best pictures of me but she had her Masters dress on and I at least had my green caddie hat.
Masters week is always a tiring week for me. I looked pretty rough. But Ivy and I say congrats to you:

I hadn't read much about the Huracan... only admired photos of it from afar. I was shocked at the glowing review from MotorTrend, claiming that Lam had finally passed Ferrari. Epic:

I really is a beast and the electronics and engine (naturally aspirated) far exceed Ferrari (and trust me I looked long and hard)

Got 4 PM's wanting an exhaust clip...here you go. This is just at idle in the 'tame' mode. Will hook up GoPro when driving--oh momma the sound during down shifts

Your car looks and sounds evil, in a good way. Must be fun 'riding' this crazy bull hunting down lesser cars. Instead of a bat out of hell, a mad bull out of hell.

WOW that's a sick car congrats. When you say GT3 you mean the Bentley, BMW, Porsche or the Aston Martin?

I may of gone with the Aventador, especially as it can transform into a decepticon.

I just need to say that this is an outstanding example of a member sharing something he loves with his friends. No jealousy, no rude remarks about his wealth or elitism. Just sharing experiences, joy, and best wishes for another TRF. I would also be remiss if I did not mention that texex91 enthusiasm for his new cars and his humble nature put a smile on a lot of faces. I went to bed dreaming about how cool it would be......WOW! Thanks texex91.
