How about some real data ya know closed course and all that good stuff.
Looked like Lambo boy couldn't drive his dad's car... ;)
I think Lambo Boy was actually Shiv, the owner of vishnu. He owns both the Gallardo and 135 as well as some pretty mean Evo's. From what I hear the pre 05 Gallardo isn't as fast as the 06-08 and I think the 135 is making around 380 whp 400+ wtq.Quote:

I am not a fan of exotic cars and I doubt a Lambo owner is too worried about a modified 135. I think the typical Lambo owner is more worried about getting his car parked in the front at valet, while the 135 will be put in with the Buicks. If your only concern is beating a Lambo, then get a Z06.
I agree with POS Racing. Put both of them on a track and see what happens. You know how often those Lambos see tracks...
Yeah, the videos aren't that impressive (especially here at work with the sound off :wink:), but that new twin turbo 3.0L is a peach. Now all the car needs is a real diff and some camber.
Seriously though, I'm looking hard at replacing the '8 in a couple of years with a 135i, once the newness wears off and some lease returns start coming back. I really do like this car.
I think that one has about 28,000 miles on it with a decent amount at road courses. The guy is a big time gear head/tuner and has some pretty impressive stuff for Evos, 335i, STi etc. I'm sure the Gallardo would spank the 135 on a track though, unless the 1 had camber plates, coilovers and wider R comps then it might be in the neighborhood.Quote:

If I do end up getting a new car, it will be the 135i. I am gonna do the chip, DP, exhaust, intake, and some coilovers. It should be plenty fun and still be reliable. It is gonna be the "closest to stock" car in the garage.

You need to get one and let us know if it is any good or not.Quote:

Thinking more about this 135i. Any one interested in a MINI?
For $2.50?

Yes, 18K?Quote:

Where can I find that info?Quote:

Wilcox sold his very cheap. I think just under $20K.

Dan's car is way overpriced, the way he has it configured it's around 24K. For 2K more I'd rather get a 1 year newer car with 0 miles instead of 14,000 and also 1 extra year of free scheduled maint. If it was around 18-19 we'd consider it.Quote:

But you are right and it is what I did. For 2K more get a new one.
