I'm not sorry you can't handle a simple question without freaking the fuck out. LOL Where exactly did I freak the fuck out? Because I said you were butthurt, or because I didn't feel that I had to prove myself to you? That makes me a huge douche. If you think so. Say the guy acting like a 16 year old with daddy's money that thinks he is better than everyone else. lmao |

"Should have used more extremes..." Like buying an $180,000 European sports car and paying someone to make it look like a domestic. The motor that went into my car at least is from the same make and model, just newer. Exactly what Mustang are we talking about that it is slower than? You sure think highly of yourself. If you want to say so badly that your Mustang is faster than my car, then out with it. you are the one that wanted to measure dicks so bad. What fast car do you have? |

This is the type of shit I would do if I hit a big jackpot lotto. Just completely useless shit, just for fun.
I'd pay a scientist, a magician, and 42 mechanics to fit Lambo guts into a Honda Civic shell, and I'd have them engineer an exhaust that sounds like an Autozone fartcan without actually losing the Lambo performance. |

Although, I'm not sure how much of the Lambo they actually cut up, it looked like in the pics they just stripped it, then fabricated a lot of custom framework. Then stuffed some of the lambo parts into the Ferd. With the limited amount of pics and time I feel lie sinking into looking at it, it appears that the Lambo could be reassembled. I agree with you on the rear end of the car, I am also not a fan. |

I was wondering how long it would take for somebody else to notice that. All they did was cut up a perfectly good Mustang. If it'd have been me, I would have used a Ford GT drivetrain...

I think that this was a demo of sorts for the 2007 SEMA show. They said that the Gallardo was a "parts" car. It was a garish way to grab attention, and show some of their capabilities. One of the main guys involved owns some dealerships outside of Cleveland. I remember that they had the thing up for sale a few years back, although I didn't know what happened with it since then.
