Another thing you may cry about is that the Euro Spec models get a rated 490hp as opposed to 483 here.

I'm not sure if our standards are slightly different or if they detuned the engine slightly for the US, a common thing amongst European automakers...

We have the largest car market in the world, yet we always get the crappiest cars

BTW: Have you considered selling the Gallardo? There are Gallardos, 2004 and 2005 alike that are going for 140,000.

Compare that to the used F430 market, where there are less than HALF of the amount of Gallardos floating around, and none can even be bought for less than 200k.

I fear for you losing a lot of $$ on your other beauty.
