Super Murcielago???

[Scott 02]

So far, after 800 miles

Yeah thats only 800 miles. If you were expecting mechanical failure then maybe honda isn't that great?

So far, after 800 miles I havn't had any mechanical problems to speak of. I have spent money repiainting the bottom that I scraped coming out of a parking lot. But then I scraped it again. So that battle goes on. I have had an engine light that has come on a few times, but the dealer told me to disconnect the battery and reconnec it. The light went away after that. I sometimes hear a clicking in the front wheel when I am turning all the way to the right. The dealer checked it out and says that will happen from time to time when you are accellerating and turning the wheel hard. The front wheels of the all wheel drive can get into a bind. It doesn't happen very often. The dealer said there is nothing to worry about, thats just the way it is. Also my brakes still squeek, but it seem to happen less and less. The dealer said nothing to worry about, thats normal for this car. Finally, the car seems to require a lot of gas.

I have been very happy. Fewer kinks than a normal car would have.
Hope this helps.

BTW - Which campus?

Thanks Tony for the quick reply,

About the scraping your lambo's buttom, I thought that it was possible to lift your suspension if you need more clearance for the vehicle(through those arrow bottons behind the gear stick - i maybe wrong here). Maybe it does not lift high enough? I wonder if it is possible to get some sort of add-on to protect the Murci's buttom.

Nevertheless its a fantastic car. I'm sure its a pleasure to drive. I do wonder how people react when they see your shiny orange lambo cruising down the street :sun:

I live in Tokyo and so that campus would be a University called Waseda. I know some students who are in a racing club and boy do they have high performance but butt ugly cars.

Finally, the car seems to require a lot of gas.

What do you expect. Its a gas munching V12 monster :smoker2:

The arrows by the gear shift are for tightening and softening the suspension. There is another botton on the dash that does raise the suspension 1.5 to 2 inches (i think). That helps a lot. But, its still very low. I actually have more problems avoiding curbs when turning. I sit so low that its impossible to see how close you are cutting it to the curb. So now I swing way out to overcompinsate.

The car does attract a lot of attention.

I see. From a test drive article I read in Forbs Magazine a while back it does say that you can't really see the nose of the lambo from the cockpit. I guess this takes a while to get used too.

Forgive my ignorance but what are the effects of tightening and softening of the suspension when you are driving (affects handling? etc). I guess when it comes to bumpy roads/ situations you tend to tighten suspension to avoid bouncing the chasses too much that it scrapes/hits the ground?

[Tony_Ensemble]

There is an auto setting that I keep it on all the time. I have never played around with it manually. But you can watch as the computer adjusts it automiaticlly. It seems pretty simple. As the car goes faster it tightens up the suspension for better handling around curves. It gets to the tightest setting pretty quickly (maybe by 35mph).

I cant see the nose at all. I always wondered if it was just me (because im short). So its interesting to hear that info from Forbes.

The slope is quite significant, and despite my height I coulds see the end either.

Hey Tony your car is nothing but the business and I love it.

As far as the wheel clicking when you turing that sound like the same thing you get from a 4wd vehicle like my Pathfinder when you try and turn it on dry ground with the front wheels engage. I have always heard that is very normal.

Good Luck

Bye the way where did you purchase the new Gumball3000 video you spoke about.

Thanks, Raven
