Lambo Monday! Summary & Image Gallery Live!

OK, needless to say, driving a Lamborghini just made it to the top of  "Best Things That Ever Happened To Me" list. I've driven quite a few crazy sports cars during my career, with the Dodge Viper holding the top spot...until now. The Gallardo features a 520hp V10 lump under the rear lid, pushing power to the monstrously wide 19" multi-peice wheels through an AWD transmission (42/58 split) that keeps that super-phat rubber planted beautifully. There wasn't a single second during the test drive that I didn't feel secure and safe. Truthfully, after my experience piloting a V10-powered Viper, I was a little worried it might be too much... But when you compare the Italian's V10's power delivery to that of a Dodge Viper's, the difference is stunning. True, the cars are considerably different from price to build-quality, but we're still talking about punch-you-in-the-gut V10 power. The Viper forces you you hold onto the steering wheel for dear life, while the Gallardo seems to quickly invite you to push it faster and faster.

How To Properly Start The Work Week: The Best Monday EVER.

The editors at CarDomain were invited to test Drive Lambos today by the good folks of Lamborghini of Bellevue. Honestly, John has pretty much wrapped the excitement of our crew in his post over on CarDomain. The SoundDomain blog will be a bit slow today while we're out of the office, but I'll have plenty of updates and pictures for you when I get back in the office.

"...experience the 5.0-liter V10 engine as it roars along a backdrop of dramatic falls, granite peaks and towering forests."

I know, my job sucks, right?

Al & Ed's Hosts "The Ultimate Lamborghini Experience"

On June 4th Al & Ed's Autosound hosted an event that most of us would give our left pinkie toe to participate in - The Ultimate Lamborghini Experience. The event took place at the California Speedway and was co-sponsored by Lamborghini of Beverly Hills.
