Saw my first Lamborghini Murcielago yesterday and I got a bit carried away...
















Thing was insane. A very young looking asian dude was behind the wheel. When he saw me taking pictures he punched it and was gone in couple of seconds.

Does anyone else think the Murcielago 'vert top makes it look like it's wearing a bad toupee?

I'm surprised you guys like the Gallardo more. I've always been a fan of the Murci and a lime green LP640 is my dream car.

in terms of the "Cool Wall" i think a lot of the 80's and 90's supercars, like the F40, Diablo, Countach, Testarossa, etc. are Sub-Zero and trump almost all new supercars like the DB9, F430, Enzo, Murci, etc. with the exception of the 458 because that should get its own fridge. it even has hints of the F40 though, like the 3 exhaust outlets.

Jackknife doors > *

If I had enough money (and was boisterous enough) to have a Murcielago, I would consider getting the roadster, keep it garaged and just keep the top off almost all year round. I've always loved the Lambo roadsters. I agree, it looks better as a roadster with the top off.... as if Lambo owners seriously compete in motorsports for the relatively negligible different in weight and aerodynamics to even matter

IIRC the Murci roadster weighs the same as the coupe. Not sure about stiffness though. And I could be wrong.

Thinking more about it though, if I had enough money Id get a Koenigsegg.

Crappy picture but I was with this GT3RS just a few moments ago. Left the grocery store and drove pretty quick around a corner and then when I looked behind he was right up on my ass. Thumbsup'd and we both turned onto a big street and he just romped on it. Made for a nice drive home, but then I realized my groceries in the trunk were fucked

Sweet. My boy picked up the gray/red GT3RS but I haven't seen it in the flesh yet. I bet the exhaust note sounds sick.

Was in the left turn lane so couldn't get the best snap of it. Some kind of track car? Had a roll cage inside also.

LOL Sorry, knew it was a porsche, just didn't know what it was being used for and judging by the number and roll cage, looked to be some kind track car.
