You'd think that especially after driving the 355 compared to any lambos. the 355 is a seriously underrated car. I'd have it over a 360 anyday.

My friend Dave has a F355 Berlinetta F1 Edition. The one with the paddle shifters.

Fun car.

On Topic: I like the car. Every Lambo we've ever dealt with at the shop was a blast to drive and virtual music on the dyno. This one is pretty damned sexy.

i bet its a blast to drive but the aesthetics don't do it for me. id much rather take the engine and swap it with my NA. that'd be a nice upgrade.

I like it, who cares what the back end looks like. I wouldnt plan on seeing the back of the car that often and I dam sure wouldnt care what the people behind me thought as I flew by ;p

out of 20, im willing to bet that 19.5 of those will be rich people that either never or rarely drive it, and when they do theyll total the thing. good luck finding the remaning untouched .5.

Eessh from what I've heard the early paddle shifted tranny's were hell in the 355's, even in the 360's they still were iffy. Have just recently gotten perfected with the Enzo, and 430's, in the FXX it's supposed to be as well rounded as the GT class racing cars, as it should be Schumacher himself helped design it. Also the upcoming 430 Scuderia is claiming shift times as quick as 60 milliseconds using the same software that is currently in the Ferrari F1 cars, in a STREET CAR!!!

Sorry for the OT, I spend too much time on Ferrarichat.com I think...

As for the Lambo...it's well a Lambo, I don't like the car personally but I never really have liked them. But what I do like is Lambo is finally taking a step back to their roots, Lambo's are the rockstar, skateboarders with long hair and tat's exotic car. Those cars are built to be outlandish, to draw ridiculous amounts of attention, as well as drop panties like it's nothing. They have always been the cars that when you first saw them you wondered if the designers drew it up after having a bottle of wine. That is what's cool about them, as well as like you mentioned Supracentral the sound, I love the way Fcars' sound but it's hard to beat a Lambo V12 at full song.

trying to do something new by looking at jet fighters...

HELLO 1950's????

sorry, car does't look much different than their current cars, in fact it looks like one of their current cars with a body kit. who cares...

Now the retor designed muira that they decided not to put into production so as not to tarnish the muira's classic status was damn hot. I bet the real reason is it was too expensive to pay for the tooling to do it, hence the new body kit crap they're doing...

Aston Martin is the only supercar company I'm really liking these days...

Everything looks pretty hot cept the front is not the norm so I guess that is the aesthetics that people are picking on .. . I'd have to look at it some more as 1.5 seconds was not long enough to make a judgement call.

Clip, love the avatar.

Having driven the paddle and manual 355, 360, and 430s, I can tell you this. In the 355 it was unpleasant. Granted, it was the first version of it, but it was jerky as hell, broke all the time, and was a general pain in the ass. In the 360, it was still pretty harsh, but was able to be calm. However when driving at speed, the 360 was already a very snappy car, and the first version of the f1 gearbox just added to it. Around the time they released the 360CS they revised some of the hydrolics in the transmission which made it alot more controllable. The 430's f1 tranny is a blast. its f'ing fast, can be smooth, can be a kick in the balls. That being said in each of those cars, I'd still take the 6spd manual. Sure its not the fastest, but nothing beats having THAT much control.

I'm still a fan of the Zonda and Koenigsegg

last I knew, Noble was more of a kit car than anything else...

The Atom needs to come down to the price point they where originally aiming for IMHO and get it out on the road, I'd love one.

Saleen and Shelby are both pissing me off with making shitty cars that are nothing like they used to produce (IMHO).

If you want to talk fast mustangs though, Steeda made some pretty mean stuff...
