That sounds more like a design plan rather than a design flaw B-)
Haha, I concur!
Well Lamborghini itself was the epitomy of the supercar throughout the 80's and 90's, after the Miura....they had the Countach, which wasn't all that fast for the price and was a pain to drive and park, and it wasn't reliable either, ...then came the Diablo which was all the Countach was and more, the reliability was improved, but the interior was of kit-car standards and it was a true devil to drive (Atleast before the 6.0 days) I guess in that way they are a true super car maker.
Today though, compare the Murc with any Ferrari and it seems cold and "spiritless", atleast to me. I'd still take one over most any current Ferrari, but it certainly does not have the same presence as a Ferrari, both in mind and reality
EDIT: Rex, aren't numbers matching, all original 454 SS's going for 200k these days? I look at these Barrett Jackson auctions and the price of muscle cars astounds me...maybe thats just Yenko Camaro's and GT500 Shelby's
