and i heard they have small clutches so maybe after an hour of hard starts and stops I might have a chance. I don't care what anyone says sitting in the car is assume and to be honest if I had the extra money I would have a Lambo - though probably a roadster...

Wow! Nice cars, especially the Vette!

Call me crazy, but I'd rather have the new Ford GT (GT 40) or an old Cobra over the Lambo any day, but thats just me...or a Ferrari 333SP!!!!

Is it traction control or just all-wheel drive (which I guess is traction control). He asked me if the Vette had all-wheel drive and I said no, but I had on my DRs so I thought I might be able to stay up....

I was watching a show where they were test driving that Lambo and teh driver commented on the traction control. He wanted to do a burnout but the car wouldn't allow it. AWD and TC is nice but there are times when you don't want it, at least on the vette we can turn TC off.
