Braden from COBB Tuning did a writeup on the initial R&D on the ST.

I also made a blog as a build and R&D "dumping ground". You can read Braden's writeup there.

I'll also make a progress thread here once it arrives. Plans are starting to add up. Can't wait!

I saw a Tangerine Scream ST2 in the area here on Friday. I could tell right away what it was, heh. A nice looking color but too bright for my liking.

I think it still looks awesome... and it wouldn't be hard to put on parts from the later LP-640s.

The LPs look great IMO. But the OG just looks......dated. Thats a problem with a lot of supercars though.

The Murci still looks good from some angles. The Diablo on the other hand looks really, awfully dated.

Countach was one of my favorite cars in the early '90s. You want dated looking, that's dated.

Fun fact: All 2002 Murcielago odometers are read in kilometers only.

Only the last 8 or so in the US & beyond read in miles.

Same here, esp. the 6.0. But seeing as they were only made for 1 model year really, they're becoming rarer & rarer and are starting to hold their value.

Finding 6.0 SE is becoming even harder.

There was an M5 Touring under the E60 (E61) model. I don't know if there are any plans under the F10 (F11) model.

There's a 550i Touring M-Sport in the US and it's as close to a M5 wagon as we got in the E60/1 models.

Car looks pretty awesome.

Roy has had this one for sale for a couple years now, & it's honestly in the Top 5 best examples of the 6.0.


http://www.catsexotics.com/web/used/...ington/146166/

This is a perfect example for anyone wanting a car that has been driven as it was intended to whilst kept in the utmost, mint condition. The price is hard to swallow considering a LP670-4 SV can be bought for this price, but you won't find a Lamborghini nut like Roy anywhere else who uses these cars & knows how valuable certain models/options will be.

He had a Balloon White Murcie. SV w/ the optional fin-spoiler & 6-speed manual for sale, but I guess he decided to keep it. I believe it's only 1 of 2 in that particular configuration.
