I like it! Reminds me of the 997.1 RS.

Speaking of which...how do you like the GT4 compared to the LP560-2?

very different.

560-2 was a 50th anniversary so superleggera interior, rwd, cf buckets, etc. Actually lighter than the 570 because it lacked front diff. Lightest Gallardo ever made. Gated manual. I loved that car. It was extremely engaging and visceral, much more than the gt4. Gt4 is wonderful but almost too easy if that makes sense

Gt4 wins in handling hands down. Same driver it would kill the lambo in the canyons unless driver was a pro/excellent. Even then probably close.
Lambo felt like it was a caged animal waiting to murder you(I like cars like that personally, on list for gt2rs and gt2 but waiting to see if they offer manual)
Lambo would put bus lengths on gt4 obviously in any semi straight line.

I had a more emotional connection with the 560 but the attention it gets is annoying.

Both excellent cars, just preference. I had heartache selling the 560-2 but bought it new, drove for 3 years and got an offer for way more than I paid. Hard to turn down.

Gt4 is an interim car for me and/or a second sportscar. Looking for a 94-98 Diablo right now.

Thanks for your insight...same thoughts as mine.

If you can swing it, get a 6.0 diablo. So much better all around.

I didn't realize there were manual RWD Gallardo's, are these very rare? Seems like the holy grail find.

560-2 was to commemorate Valentino Balboni, hence why it was RWD.

Sorry but that is incorrect. The 550-2 was to commemorate Balboni and was available in egear and stick, all rwd but different colors available. Standard interior.

The 50th anniversary 560-2 they only made 30 for the world. All manual, all special paint code Bianco Opalis, RWD, CF Buckets, etc etc. There was a single option on the entire car available which was extended CF package.

There are only 47 gated manual LP series gallardos (2009-2014) including the 23 560-2's that were imported to the USA.

i want the full 90's era flip down lights =)

agree 6.0 is a more refined supercar. If I could comfortably afford it I would buy one of the 3-4 stick Murci SV's but saving my money for gt2/rs
