    What a car! Just bought a 3pedal w 8k miles...wow!! Prior to this had an 06 3 pedal gallardo..comparing as my buddy said Coke to Pepsi..both phenomenal cars. Drivability, rev/light fly wheel, nimbleness, arguably sound all goes to Fcar! Here are some quick pics!
    Question for stick shift guys: how good/strong are the stock clutches in these? What kinda miles you get? I know is largely driver dependent but just looking for some stats pics to follow

    Congrats, VERY nice. WIth a three pedal if you treat it right there is no reason to not get 20-30k out of it

    Nice what are the chances that car was owned in Nashville?
    I am betting it's an 05
    Enjoy the ride!

    I would think you should get a lot more than that out of it.

    Congrats to OP! - my favorit color combo and 3 pedals.

    Yep, you totally scored. The seats and 6 speed make that one extremely rare... plus the color combo is to die for! Kudos and congrats!

    I like it! Congratulations!

    My MT 430 has almost 16K miles with stock clutch . No problems. I don't baby it either.

    My advice. Have it lowered about 1/2 to 3/4 inch max with the stock springs.

    It really changes the look of the car. If the roads are poor and/or you have steep entrance and exit curbs in your area, don't do it. You will scrape the front bumper to often.
