the m3 e90 saloon (british for sedan) did its top gear power lap faster at 1:25.3 than the gallardo-that's pretty damn impressive! i have of course passed this info on to my gallardo-owning friend...

Also, different days, different temperatures, etc., etc.... valid comparisons can't really be drawn from the Top Gear times, as we all know.... I agree - the M3 is an amazing achievement, but a statement such as that is rather... misleading.

Enjoy it--amazing car--how it looks, how it sounds. Someone in my neighborhood just got a white Superleggera LP570 and it sounds fantastic. I just got back from Las Vegas where I did a last-minute exotics track driving experience. Drove the Superleggera, then got a ride in one from a former Indycar driver. He floored it from a dead stop and I thought I was going to lose my lunch--the power was overwhelming.
Here's a quick clip of me in the black one: Last edited by paradocs98; 04-05-2012 at 09:01 AM.. |

[I]"came back to the car after brunch, to find a girl SITTING on the hood, legs splayed (wearing a skirt), with the Bull emblem between her legs, so her boyfriend could take a picture"[I]
I might not have been so nice - She could have easily bent your hood. Not good!! now about those photos You are a true enthusiast - being able to still appreciate an M3 which is obviously not in the same class an LP-560 - but still you can applaud the merits of the E9X M3 - even with its humble origins. The snobbery exuded by "some" drivers of exotics is off the charts - even from those that rent them

Hahaha, very soon after I left the girl sitting on the hood, I wondered if i should have demanded a copy of the picture, but I'm not that quick off the mark, LOL.....

TTBear thanks for the read. I see I should have searched the forum for Gallardo and not it's platform. You answered a lot of my questions here. Thanks!

Although the gallardo looks and sounds sweet, atleast the earlier ones were disapointing in terms of power and performance. For a V10 they put down only 400 wheel horsepower on the dyno which is not great. A FBO m3 puts close to that so its really only the lightweight nature of the gallardo that makes it faster.
From a roll with a FBO it is surprisingly close as I have ran one several times with my friend who has one. |

Lets look at performance numbers for Gallardos. The original 2003 Gallardos ran 4.1-4.3 0-60 times with quarter-mile times of around 12.4-12.5 at around 116-118 MPH. Current Gallardos (except spyders) all run sub 4 second 0-60 times and 11 second quarter mile times in excess of 120MPH........ Based on these numbers a healthy M3 DCT (6MT models are slower) is closely matched to an original 03 Gallardo but is definitely way out of it's league when compared to 2009+ models. What about a full bolt on Gallardo, how do you think that race would look?!?!?! Yes the M3 is a great car and we all know that, but how do you justify the comparison of an M3 to a supercar like the Gallardo, they are not even in the same league and are not meant to be. No matter how great the the driving experience of the M3 is, a supercar it will never be!

Had: 08 Lambo Spider: ( it's in a different ball park compared to a M3)
Now: 13 M3 Lime Rock Edition Later: 458 Spider ( Next Year) The M3 feels like a lessened exotic car. Hard to explain but the E92 is in the right direction to become a exotic sports car, as far as performance and feel. but it's lacking the power and weight. E92 needs more more power with sound. & a lot less weight. |
