Who made the jump from a 360 to a Gallardo?

I considered one at the time of looking for a 360. My missus preferred the Ferrari and I was put off a bit by the cost of a clutch (so I was informed and have no experience as such) on a Gallardo. My favourite modern Lamborghini though and perhaps if my missus had not cared I might have.

 

I went from an F1 360 to a Huracan. Best choice I ever made.

 

Drove a friends 05' (3 pedal) when I first bought my 360. Couldn't get past all the Audi. Also didn't have the low speed finesse that I found in the 360.

Nice reliable Cars.. bringing that much german into the brand really did improve the reliability.

 

There was more evolution within the Gallardo line than the 360 IMO.
2004 were easily the worst, esp the e-gear. 2008 improved a lot.
Most of the Audi cues are in the interior. Doesn't bother me, I love my Audi
Most exotics could benefit from a bit of Audi DNA.

Put an exhaust on a Gallardo and you won't be thinking about Audi.
that V10 sound.

 

LOL this is true.

 

I did a long time ago, an 04 and then I turned it into RWD, I could not stand the way it drove in AWD. Of course I did a lot more to it than just turning into RWD. Of course it took a lot of work to bring it back to stock when I got rid of it.

 

I drove a manual Gallardo some ten years ago, and I recall it being very fast as I was already doing crazy speeds on second gear and I was no way near the redline... There's just so much power in store. There was however not much space in the foot well, and whilst not cramped, definitely less than in my 360 (I still remember that funnily enough). Visibility was also a little poorer, I guess I could say overall you're a bit more cramped inside. Lovely car all in all, not as pretty as the 360 in my opinion, but not ugly by any means. I'd love one as a stable mate for my 360

 

I have a friend who went from a 360 (3-pedal/manual) to a Gallardo.

He loved the 360, but he is very happy with the Gallardo.

 

I would rather have my 308 over ANY Lamborghini.

Yes, ANY

 

Matt, I guess it’s because Ferrari is so much more than a car to me...I love everything about it including the history, etc so anything other than that black horse on by hood just wouldn’t do it for me.
That’s why I’ll keep my 308 over a Lamborghini Porsche any day of the week. If I could afford to buy a 2nd one it would be a Ferrari for sure

 

It's true. In real life, the 360 is larger than one might expect, whereas the Gallardo is the opposite.
Really nice power band though.
To me, it has more in common with the 430 than the 360.

 

Did an 05' 4wd to RWD conversion. Not bad at all. Like working on any other German car. Same R8 audi hardware.

 

I have both a gated 360 and gated gallardo. If you were serious about the move id be happy to take a phone call to discuss the cars. Jay.

 

Its VERY Audi.. so it's reliable, rock solid, and as german to work on as an A4. I'd get one as a DD if I was so inclined... I happen to like the 911 and Ferrari feel better personally..

 

I absolutely love the look of the gallardo spider, and I’d have one in a second, but definately a later car with all the benefits of the upgrade programme. There are a high number of parts common to the gallardo that you can get in Audi boxes at a much reduced price, such as brakes etc.

As many have said, make sure the clutch is up to date, and no obvious issues, and enjoy
