Yea sucks, looks like yours is having a blast out with the other V10s. I will call Gold Coast today to see if they started on the car and what they think about Friday for pick up.

I m leaving to Dominican early next week for some time off so if I don't have it back I will let it sit till Im back.

Congrats on finding a tastefully modded G! Very nice car
My first one was the same color and also a manual
Let us know what the clutch issue is all about. Throwout bearing maybe?
Lambo has improved clutches over the years and these cars are truly the "maytag" of exotics.
Very reliable and bullet proof.

I know about 3 others (including myself) who said the same thing, and ended up getting a built motor. You will learn that Stage 1's are just the bait to get you in the front door. Like all of us, your ego will get your wallet in a lot of trouble

the only thing drawing me to an R8 is the pricing. You can pick up a 2012 or even a 2014 R8 v10 (facelifted) for around $130k. That money would maybe get you a 2006 Gallardo. If you want an 2009 LP560 you're looking at $150k plus. I think I'd rather have a 2014 R8 V10 than a 2006 Gallardo...

Yes I looked at 2 R8 V10s. I liked them but they are def not the same cars. They feel different and drive different.

They are just like the Gs. Maintenance wise close to the same and the G is as reliable as the R8. The R8 has a bit more new technology in it vs the G so might be a bit more expensive on the repairs further down the line.

Thank You I will give driving impressions once car comes back from Dealer. It is back in the shop for a new clutch which was just replaced and now has to be redone do to some failure.

Thanks Love the Car

OP. Give us some impressions. I have not heard many nice things about the 1st gen gallardos.

No Impressions yet other than it is way more comfortable than the Viper but drive wise we will see as soon as I have it back.
