Ground Clearance
Is the ground clearance on the Gallardo a problem? I'm thinking of getting one but the dealer in NY has only a floor demo that you can't test - and the clearance only seems to be about 3 inches! I'm wondering, given all the steel plates and pot holes on NY roads, can you even drive this in New York city?

Re: Ground Clearance
I don't have that much trouble. But you will have to be careful in certain places. I drive diagonal to get in the driveway.
My GT3 gives me more trouble than the Gallardo |

My digital camera is busted, and I just haven't gotten around to either getting a new one or fixing the old one. But will get that done soon and post some pics. THanks |

Re: Ground Clearance
How do you like the Z8 compared to your gallardo or GT3? I like the Z8 a lot but always thought that being priced over a 996 TT was unecessary. Would you say it was worth the money?

The Z8, on the other hand is really a poor mans exotic supercar. (Though $135,000 isn't exactly a poor mans car). It's looks can't be beat. But as far as performance, it just doesn't stack up to either the GT3 or Gallardo. Though, all 3 cars excel at what they were designed for. Most bang for the buck? Gt3 |

Re: Ground Clearance
Clarkster, did you drive your Gallardo on a race track yet? I'm thinking of doing it, this baby is unreal in corners.

Re: Ground Clearance
No race track yet. But I'll be there.
Too cold around where I am. |

Re: Ground Clearance
And the GT3, afterall it is a track car. It would be interesting to what difference in times you post with the gallardo and GT3.
