First few days with my V8V...
Discussion
One word: fantastic.
Different kettle of fish from the Gallardo obviously, but still an amazing car in it's own right.
The look and feel of the interior are a lot better than I'd expected. Quite impressive actually. Oh, and the premium sound system is quality! Although I don't listen to it as much as you'd think (...see below)
The exhaust note (obviously minus fuse 22!) is outstanding! I thought my Lambo with it's tubi was something, but this to me is an altogether more refined, more "pure" sounding roar!!
Brilliant!! Love it!!
(Carlos hurry up and get one!!) lol

i had a little episode last year where i wanted to come out of my v8v for a gallardo but felt ultimately it was a little too overt for my sensibilities!went to have a look at one and liked the interior etc. but didn't turn the key.i'm curious as to your thoughts about drivabilty etc. having had the experience of both.
Pictures will be posted once I've got round to washing it, which at the moment is the last thing on my mind ...I just want to drive it 24/7! lol
Compared to the Gallardo, I'd say it's got a lot more class, although not as "wow".
Driving wise it's a lot more practical. The visibility is much better than in my Lambo, as are the levels of comfort when driving.
The Gallardo could sometimes almost tire you out after a drive, where as the Vantage thus far has been much more relaxing machine (...until of course I see a tunnel approaching!! lol)
