That must have been awesome! Next to driving a DeLorean a Lambo & Ferrari drive is so on the Bucket list!

Call me a wuss, but on the straightaway I got so fast I was scared. I can see how one could go overboard on this car. I then got into my D and suddenly it felt SO slow haha...

[Nicholas R]

Nice! Couldn't tell from the video but do you know what speed you got up to? Also what kind of Lamborghini was it? Gallardo?

.... suddenly it felt SO slow haha...

It is.

[refugeefromcalif]

It is.

That's why I Love mine. I'm past the age that I need to prove that my car is faster.
I think It's better looking though.... :approve:
Congrats alexwolf. Great video!

(I'd still love to drive a fast car Once though).

I've ridden in a Countach before, and that was pretty fast, though I was more thrilled about the coolness factor, which is why I'm such a good fit with my D :)

Just the other day in Long Island NY someone let an 18 year old drive a Lambo. He destroyed it and himself in the process. It is a supercar and unless you have enough judgement and experience it is the kind of car that can get ahead of you before you know it. I have a Lotus and it also is a lot more car then most drivers would know how to handle. First of all you do not let children drive such a car. Secondly anyone who drives a car like that MUST get some track time with an instructor so they can appreciate what the car can do and what the driver MUST do to keep it under control. Not the case with a Delorean. it is a very tame, underpowered car and you really have to push it to lose control. It does have a nasty propensity to "swap ends" under the wrong conditions but it takes a LOT to get to that point. As for "coolness" , the Delorean is right up there with the Lambo and for a LOT less money!

I think I got it up to 135ish, but my stomach went nuts and started churning. It was too fast! Yes, it was a Gallardo. Amazing machine

On my bucket list this one. To own, probably impossible.

Driven a Gallardo, Lotus Exige, M3 V8, R8 V8 and Ferrari 430 Spider on one of those Supercar Drive days (wasn't cheap). The Gallardo was my favourite, but I could live with the R8 every day. Love the new Lambos now, just look mean and menacing. The only new Ferrari worth considering would be the LaFerrari. F355 and Testarossa would be on my bucklist of ownership (only when I win the Lottery).

Sunshine and rainbows as always, eh, Dave?

Just trying to point out how a fun day can quickly turn into a bad day if you don't do some preparation. A machine like a Lambo is not something you can "play" with. It is a serious piece of machinery and has to be treated like a loaded gun.

This is awesome. I would have geeked out in the worst way.
