I didn't like the 599 GTB at first either, but it is growing on me

BTW, Motor Trend found the curb weight of the LP640 was 4046 lbs., almost exactly the same weight as the old Murcielago. So you can be sure the extra 60 hp is all improvement and no make-up for weight gain!

MT's review was good, although their numbers weren't that great (They got slightly better numbers from a 580 hp Murcielago and very similar numbers from a Diablo 6.0 a few years back):
