I am all for the Koenigsegg CCX or the LP640.

Again like i said earlier, the CCX and Pagani Zonda F both cost 2x+ LP640, i doubt he would go for that..

but thats just my opinion...

Spiderman Has Probably done 'maybe' a wise thing by selling his mucielago and getting the gallardo because obviously the murci was too low to drive even after the raised shocks. I think he already has an SL55 AMG for himself as his primary car he drives always. A Zonda...or a CCX for that matter would be too impractical to drive on Bombay Roads (I DONT BELIEVE I AM SAYING THIS). He probably could end up with an S65 AMG and have all the power and comfort he would want. But I still wish he'd get one of them expensive supercars as long as we get to see it. Ciao

Actually I'm confused. The Gallardo Spyder is half an inch lower than the Murcielago.

Okay I don't get what you mean. Explain.
The only practical "feature" in the Gallardo and not the Murcielago is the automated roof.

I doubt and hope not. If it "MUST" be practical, then I wouldn't be surprised if he buys a F430 Spyder.

Of course the practical element to that is that Ferrari is completely sold out of F430s for the next several months, which is why people with the money to buy these sportscars are increasingly looking at Lamborghini.

yeah but if you have money all you have to do is pay another 30-50k and you have your car F430s are selling in the "used car market" like crazi, you can get one with the color and combo you want...no problem, you just have to shell out an extra 10-20%, no biggi for someone who is shelling so much anyways..

Pay another 30-50k? What currency are you talking here? Not rupees for sure. And even people with loads of money to spend on cars aren't daft enough to drop 1/3 of a car's value just to jump a queue.

you are kidding right???

in the US 90% of F430 owners are that daft, that they drop 50-100k USD on the car, the F430 base price is 177k USD and that same car sells for 245-250k USD, which is a margin of about 75k extra or about 40% more, there are people who have even paid about 300+ for the spiders..so people with money are that daft to get in line ahead..

Duh, obviously.

If it happened with the M800 in the 80s, in INDIA, it's surely gonna happen with the Ferraris, Lambos, the E60 M5s, etc, kbk_75.
