I'd probably never personally spend the money on it unless I dramatically increase my disposable income but I wouldn't mind having a 430 CS, can't remember if it's out yet or not. Of course an Enzo would be cool too. :) For the time being Lamborghini will be my exotic and the others are for fun. I like to make fun of snobbish Ferrari owners but other than that I don't mind the marque or the down to earth owners, some really seem to have attitudes though.

Which of your two cars do you prefer? Well depending on the models that could be a dumb question, like a Countach and an F430 would be two cars I'd own for entirely different reasons.

I like both cars but, as you have stated above, I own both marques for different reasons. If I am just cruising, I will take the F car. My F car has alot of low end torque which can be alot of fun but it can not keep up with the L car relative to speed.

We have the same philosophy relative to cars. It's great to be passionate about a certain marque; however, I will never understand how a person can bash another car claiming overall superiority. I live in south OC and I have to tell you that most (not all) F-car owners in the area are seriously brainwashed about F car heritage and the perceived status that a F-car is the ultimate exotic. Of course, there are L car owners who are over zealous in their rants as well. To what end and what purpose will this serve? We should just appreciate the cars for what they are and enjoy the fact that there is a variety of exotic cars from which to choose.
In my garage, the bull is parked next to the pony. I think that is pretty cool.

It's not the most exotic thing in the world but I think I wouldn't mind having a Ford GT next to my bull, just the rude and rough aspects of that car, break the rear end loose with a mash on the gas, etc.; lots of fun. I really like that F430 and the F1 transmission but just don't see myself having the money for it any time soon.

I definetly favour lamborghini, but i do like Ferrari as well. As has been said, they each have their perks. I find, though, Lamborghinis do get more of a rise out of people than Ferraris though, and i really do perfer lamborghinis agressive styling to Ferraris' more reserved styling. Also, the performance factors cant be overlooked...

I thought seriously about the F430 before buying the Murci. What it finally came down to was that I couldn't envision paying over list price just so that the dealer can get rich. Turned me off too much.
That, plus the fact that the Lambo always was my dream car growing up (Countach). Something nice about getting your dream car (although Jeremy Clarkson said never to do that.)

What I can tell you about the car briefly is that is handles really really well, the braking is also sharp. It will out accelerate any car I have to 130mph :)

Nobles are one of the best track cars you can buy for the money. Uses a turbocharged 3 liter Mondeo engine, will crack off 0-60 in 3.3 seconds (same as a Ferrari Enzo), and is one of the best handling cars in the world.
And they are around 100k or so I've heard.

I use a battery tender manufactured by Deltran. The model I use includes a pigtail which attaches directly to the battery. I just plug the battery tender into the pigtail (male/female) connection. It's a clean set-up and avoids the use of the traditional battery clips.

Nobles as far as i know, cannot be purchased in the U.S. because they dont meet certain requirements or something. However, because of that, noble has worked a loophole, that being, you buy the rolling chassis in a almost complete form, you buy the motor seperately and have it installed and register the car as a kit. I believe thats pretty much how it goes for U.S. customers, but you might want to read up on it.
Because of all this crap, they're quite rare in the U.S.

That is correct. To my understanding the States only allow so many "kit-cars" to be registered per year. Once again those also limit the numbers of cars.
The sole dealer in the US for Noble is www.1gracing.com - also run by ex-South Africans ;)

I just picked up my car from Claudio's shop in OC about two weeks ago. It would have been fun to do a drive with you guys. I may bring the car down sometime in April or May? I, will most likely fly down and ask Claudio to bring out the Cizeta. I'll keep you posted. Where does most of your guys live? OC or in the Valley? I will introduce you to Claudio. He is a great guy and he knows a lot about Lamborghini's. He worked with Lamborghini at the factory and help design a few of the Lamborghini models.
Ray,
April or May sounds fine...just give me some notice as my weekends are very busy due to work. As a FYI, I reserved the featured marque corral at Cars & Coffee in Irvine for Saturday, June 9th. This is going to be a big event for Lamborghini owners. I expect that we will have over 30 owners present including LP640 Roadster's which will be shown by Lamborghini Orange County. There is also a chance that a certain special Lamborghini test driver will be present. :clap:
As far as my core group of owners, we are spread out all over SoCal. Los Angeles, Riverside, Orange and San Diego counties. Send me a PM with your cell phone no. and e-mail address and I will do the same.
Talk to you soon,
Chris

Drive the car safe and in good health.

Damn, 1300 mile break in? I think the G was only like 300 or 500 miles, either way the drive home had me at 375 so it didn't take long before I got on it. :)

Hi Chris,
Thank you for the heads on the June 9th event. I will try and get the Lambo down there for the event. It sounds like a lot of fun. I will let Claudio know, he knows the test driver well.
I sent you a pm and look forward to meeting you and your group. We can show the F car guys how the L cr guys do it.

Hi Ray,
The June 9th event is definitely on the calendar. I have already reserved the featured marque corral with Premier Automotive Group (PAG). As the date draws closer, I will be making a post on all the related Lamborghini chat boards and sending out PM"s to various owners.
There will be another driving event during the latter part of April. We are going to limit particpation to no more than 20 cars. Anything more and it is too difficult managing all the cars on the highways. It would be great if you can join us for this event as well. You are on my distribution list and I will keep you apprised as developments occur.
I am sending you a PM with my contact information.

Are you planning on going to the Monterey event in August?

I will definitely be in Monterey this year.
Will I see you there as well?
The SoCal boys host a very nice drive from Monterey to Big Sur on the day after Concorso Italiano. I hope you can join us.

It's not the most exotic thing in the world but I think I wouldn't mind having a Ford GT next to my bull, just the rude and rough aspects of that car, break the rear end loose with a mash on the gas, etc.; lots of fun. I really like that F430 and the F1 transmission but just don't see myself having the money for it any time soon.
If you are looking for a car that will break the rear end quickly with a mash on the gas, the Ford GT is it. I have one and a Diablo Millennium.
The Diablo is harder to drive, slower, heavier, torque isn't there until you rev high, it has no warranty, its older, etc.
but to me, the Diablo is the best car ever. 100x better than the Ford GT. Just no comparison when I am driving it vs. the GT.
If you are looking for a race car, the Ford GT is the car. A cheap pulley change can bring it up to around 600HP on 91 octane. You can get 700 running higher boost, supercharger change and 100 octane. And more than that with the twin turbo. But stock it is still fast as hell. I don't need a car as fast as it is though.

Hi Chris,
I will be there in Monterey. I will be coming in on Thursday afternoon. Doing the Concorso on Firday, Races on Saturday (if they are running the F1 cars), and I try to leave Sunday open. If they are not running the F1 cars on Saturday, then I would like to join you guys on Saturday. Is it only for Lamborghini's? I don't want to leave my friends behind. They will be driving Ferrari's?

Hi Ray,
I will be arriving Thursday morning to unload my car from Cats Exotics Express. I ordered an early hang tag so I will park my car in the Lamborghini Orange County stable on Thursday afternoon. I hope that you can join our group on Saturday morning. The drive from Monterey to Big Sur on Route 1 is awesome. Very scenic along the coast and then there are some great stretches of open highway where you can get on the cars a bit. You will hit mid to deep triple digits no problem. :crazy:
If you go with us on Saturday, bring your friends with the F cars. Last year, LV Eric was following me in his Enzo. Not everyday that you see an Enzo in your rear view mirror.

Hey Mike,
I saw pictures on your latest post with the F430 and LP640. I can't believe that you have those long stretches of empty road. I rarely see open roads like that in SoCal.:cry: I am envious of you my friend!
This morning I have a group of 15 owners who are getting together for a short run from Orange County to Beverly Hills. It is a couples event and we will caravan to the Peninsula Hotel for Sunday Brunch. We will be taking video and I will try and post a link to the video and pics soon.
Weather is great today so conditions should be perfect.:headbang:
