No surprise there.........Italian cars and bikes are works of art, but their quality control needs serious help. I would trust a Hyundai or GM over a Fiat anyday.

The point is a car with that much power still can barely use it. All that work and money and I doubt it would be much faster around a road course. 1200 extra hp and it only cuts 2.5 seconds off the quarter? It's not putting that power down very well.

And the car is doing 10mph faster than the bike at the end of the quarter.

I would rather have this car(even with less power) than the veyron.

I'd rather have a stock LP560 than either of those

Guess I'm a hater /shrug

The Diablo was better looking than the Gallardo IMO

I've driven a friend's Gallardo recently, both street and track. The ~500 hp stock was plenty exciting enough for me!

I imported Italian racing bikes and go-fast parts.

QC is utter shite.

I think we need Italians to design it, but Asians to make it.

That's the year I sold my 93 ZX11 and bought the 98 ZX9R...it lost close to 70 lbs. from the previous year.
