    Hey, congratulations...! Hate to see a Ferrari go, but.........

    What spurred the change...? Anymore pictures...? Any initial driving impressions...? How does the Bullish 12 compare to the screaming V8 355...? Can you corner in that like you did in the 355...? Acceleration comparisons...?

    Definitely a fair upgrade. I always love the 6.0's rims.
    Very aggressive.

    The window? :)

    Seriously though, I guess that's what the hole in the side of the van is for.

    Like the new Diablo too.

    I never thought I'd say this about a Diablo but that one actually looks understated!

    Very nice!! Use it well!!

    That looks like the twin to the 6.0 I just took on trade for a Stradale and sold to Lambo of Atlanta. Very understated is right.

    Hope you enjoy it.

    Very sharp. I have always loved the 6.0 more than any Lambo save the Muira SV.

    The car is not driven into the truck...The truck has an electronic cable hook up that tows the car onto the truck...I just saw it in use when my car was delivered last month.

    Thanks for the compliments. The 6.0 is really unbelievable, HOWEVER, I really do miss the 355. It had more of a go-kart, confidence inspiring feel to it. But the 6.0 is surprisingly driveable and so fast, in fact I can't get over how this car pulls in every gear.

    Ok, answers to questions:

    V12 is a lot faster, it pulls like a rollercoaster. Acceleration is instantaneous, no lag whatsoever. TOOOOOOO MUCH attention. I thought the F- got a lot of looks, I parked this car to get starbucks frap with a friend and I couldn't get back into the car because I was too embarassed, there was a crowd around it, and this was in a really nice area. Had to wait and then get in, not one for being bombarded with questions. One guy even asked my friend what team I played for. that was the funniest question.

    Chains WERE NOT used, we used wooden blocks and rolled the car in very very slowly, the driver was a pro and we had no problems. I highly recommend them: Hot Shot Haulers

    Getting out was TIGHT, but yup, that's what the side door on the truck is for. Plus I'm not that big. Brake lights weren't on, the flash makes them look like they were on, but you're right I did drive it in.

    Thanks again everyone, this car is a blast, but I wish I could have kept the 355 and have the 6.0 too.

    Really nice, The 6.0 is really my favorite Lambo. I heard that Lambos area a hassle to get into and out of is that true?

    gorgeous car, like some earlier posters, I do not generally care for lambo styling, but your car nailed it. Have you driven 550 or 575 and if so how does it compare? enjoy.
