I was invited to a Lamborghini track day on Monday at Pacific Raceways. Got to drive new Gallardo's, Super Leggera's, etc and beat the crap out them
All I got to say is that they are FREAKING FAST AS HELL. About the same as our C-speed/Topshift.com Honda Challenge race car in the corners and under braking, but the sheer acceleration of the lambo is insane!
It was a great time. Thanks to Lambo for putting this on for us.

Not even close... the NSX is nice and all, but the Gallardo and Super Leggera are in a completely different league... the sheer acceleration is pretty much like a bike would accelerate. It corners extremely well... I'd say the same if not slightly better than our Civic race car. Although the lambo's are running DOT "street" tires, where as we run DOT R-compound "slicks".
The NSX is super smooth and handles very well and makes a very good daily driver. Its great on fuel and reliability, just any other honda. Thats what makes the NSX a great 'exotic'. My only gripe is that the NSX is freaking slow.... it needs about another 100rwhp to make it "fun" compared to the new(er) exotics.

No, it put was put on my Lamborghini themselves. They had sales reps, technicians and actual race instructors from Lambo and Skip Barber driving school there.
