    I sent my info for an complimentary issue of Texas Driver Mag & haven't received it yet. Anyone know how long it'll take to get it?? I'm sure they don't sell it on newstands either.

    Correct. Wasn't there a thread on this car at Lambo Dallas or something not too long ago?

    Oh yeah, don't forget the louvers on the engine cover. Count 'em.

    Also, look at the engine cover. One has more vents than the other.

    Also some piping around the intercooler is slightly different. Different layout or different components, I don't know...

    Hi,

    Look at the major differences between production cars and the 1st protoype (73015)on the picture. Please note that side markers are specific of US market cars.
