I'd rock it.

Although if I had a race car I'd probably go with a Lotus Exige. Not as fast, but probably 75% the fun at 5% the cost.

P.S. - At least, as long as you're running a smaller track. Big straight aways the lotus would only be maybe... 45-50% the fun.

I don't like the way it burns up so fast.

Member when Little E almost got burned to death in that carbon Vette, the thing turned into a fireball in sec's. Much more time to escape with a metal body.

And as he said, someone pulled him out of the car, but there was no one on camera. Safety crew didn't even have time to get there and he was almost cooked, till his Dad? came to help.

Well, I can honestly say, I've never been in a burning metal car, aluminum car or carbon fiber car. Until you just said that, it's never even been a consideration in my decision making process on purchasing a car. Somehow, it doesn't worry me too much. If I crackup that bad in a car, well............there are probably other things to worry about. Interesting point though.

But that wreck wasn't bad, car wasn't mangled up bad at all, but that CF body went up like it was covered in blue tip matches.

instant inferno that if was a nascar wreck, would of been plenty of time for help to arrive and put it out but no, it went up like tissue paper.

Wow, that is horrible. I will stick with the LP640

Mr CLuTcH · 09-30-2010, 07:08 PM

No wonder it's so light,...the insides lack all of the amenities of any of the previous Lamborghini's. It looks to be an empty shell,....damn near. And those seats look-totally uncomfortable. Add some quality to the interior and it's curb weight will probably move back into the 3,000lbs+ mark.
