To put this in perspective, I feel the S2000 is lots of fun to drive as well. If you want to compare driving the two cars, I think I can help here....Both cars should be driven fast...both are very flat on sharp turns...the S2000 is easier to go to the limit with, as it is totally neutral when it breaks free into a skid--the Gallardo is a bit more quirky in how it breaks free, and what the best way is to handle this---the Gallardo needs MORE gas pedal when it starts to break free, not more brake ( in typical well entered racing turn scenario---I am not talking about what to do in some sudden emergency turn sceanario on I-95). When I first started taking my Gallardo to the road course at Moroso, I learned alot about taking this car to the limit, and then getting very comfortable no matter what is happening to it. The S 2000 is easier at the breaking free point, but this would not be meaningful if it was racing the Gallardo....the Gallardo would out corner it on the medium and highspeed turns, and on brute force acceleration, there is no comparison--after you blast out of a turn with the Gallardo, coming out of the same turn with the S2000 makes the 2000 feel more like a Honda Insight than you can imagine :-)
If you had never come out of the hard turn and blasted off with the Gallardo, then the S 2000 would feel pretty hot out of the turn.

At Moroso, there are some chicanes which are rapid low speed turns where the low polar moment of inertia for the S 2000 would probably make it superior to the Gallardo--first a violent 90 degree left turn, instantly followed by a violent 90 degree right turn...instant meaning litterally as soon as you have almost left the first 90, you are in the 2nd 90. While racing turns are not violent--they are smooth, I am trying to give an idea of how this feels as you come into it.
So driving down a neighborhood road, that has a 90 degree turn or switchback, the S 2000 may be the car to beat :-)
But on roads where you are going 90 mph plus, this will be the realm of the Gallardo. I've shown that to my business partner with his F430 as well :-)

When you are on an interstate like I95, the S2000 can whip from one lane to the other and weave through traffic with amazing ease... The Gallardo has even better stability in its lane weaving, but I think most people would need a few weeks of learning to use the side view mirrors effectively on the G , before they had equivalent peripherol vision and awareness abilities to an S 2000 driver with his top down. There is zero compariosn between the 2 cars once you make your 80mph weave, and then stomp the accelerator---even if you have the S2000 at 6000 rpm, it can not produce explosive accelaration from 80 or 90 mph up...the Gallardo could almost hurt your neck with the shock it can unleash, if you hit this from 6000 rpm.

One other thing you have to learn with a Gallardo is how to go in and out of gas station or bank parking lots--any place where the lot to the road has a steep transition. You have to learn to hit these at a 45 degree angle--it is all just set up prior to getting to the transition--if you plan this, you will never scrape ( unless you are talking about a transition that would seem extreme to even an SUV driver). When I first got my G, I would scrape occaisionally--but these days it never happens--ie, I would not waste the money on the front end hydraulic nonsense. You just have to learn how the car was intended to be driven.
How's that for now ? :-)
