Aventador SV-J Discussion and New Information
toecutter replied to LVolkan's topic in Automobili Lamborghini
I want to like it but I am not that impressed. The SV was perfectly balanced IMO for looks and performance. The SVJ is nice but seems unbalanced. I agree with rhyno. Those of us with SV's don't have a lot of reasons to upgrade. Keeping my SV and bought a Performonte. Best of both worlds. -

Aventador SV-J Discussion and New Information
toecutter replied to LVolkan's topic in Automobili Lamborghini
I also wonder about the ALA. Maybe up the middle section? I can't figure out how they are directing the air as it is very apparent on the Perf but very difficult to see on the spy shots of this car. -
Aventador SV-J Discussion and New Information
toecutter replied to LVolkan's topic in Automobili Lamborghini
Maybe I'm trying to talk myself out of an upgrade, but that wing is terrible. The SV rear is sculpted and the wing comes out of the foundation of the car. This wing looks like a cheap aftermarket part. Hope it is better looking once the camo is gone. -
I have delivered all my Lamborghinis but one through Tom at Lambo Las Vegas and have had nothing but a great experience. They have bent over backwards on deals and to resolve the couple of minor issues I had. I can't say anything but good things about Tom and Sorina. Sorry the deal went the way it did but sounds like it is resolved.

SV center lock wheel removal and re-torquing tool
toecutter replied to drviperdds's topic in Archived Content
You need the following. I carry the breaker bar in the boot with 3/4" extensions when traveling. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000RT8EN...=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OXUPHT...=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000VAQNP...=UTF8&psc=1 The center lock tool (included in the tool bag with car) depresses the center lock. Two people are needed for safe removal. No paste. -
I think the GT4 is the lambo owner's preferred Porsche ride!

Great quote. 6 hours in the car yesterday. I still am happy. They are more rigid and there is less room to allow your legs different positions than the comfort seat. I prefer the drving position and I feel I am lower in the car.. I like my seat up and not reclined so position is perfect. These seats WILL NOT work for everybody. Most will probably want the comforts. Do not mistake my endorsement as a blanket endorsement for all.

Very Nice Bryan. Mine got new shoes yesterday:

I really like my sport seats. I went back to back with Comfort seats at the dealer the other day and for me they work. Starting a 1000 mile journey to Monterey tomorrow. That will be the real test.

Wanting to own a lambo in the future and what it takes
toecutter replied to Rawr's topic in Automobili Lamborghini
From the time I wanted a lambo until I got a Lambo was 27 years. Wake up early, work hard all day at whatever you do. Everything else comes first. When that is taken care of - only buy when you can pay cash. It is a toy, nothing else. -
I have been going back and forth with the race seats. They are very much race seats and are stiff, high and difficult to get in and out of. It still makes the car for me. Will be driving several hundred miles next week to Monterey and back so will be able to complain more when I spend hours in them. FEVIPER: Tell me what you think about the exhaust? It seemed underwhelming to me unless you drove the car very aggressively in Manual mode ,but I have been driving in Sport and Corsa Auto and find that it wakes up with burbles, crackles and lots of noise.

Not sure what a Diablo or a GT-R have to do with the SV. If you are looking for either experience then stay with those cars. When I want old school Lamborghini, I get in my Countach for the smell of gas and 50/50 chance of making it back. The SV is a very very good Aventador. Exhaust baffles do open on Sport and Corsa. Not as dramatic a change as the Anime button on the Huracan but clearly the car wakes up. I dislike DCTs and will not miss my Huracan at all, I found that transmission dull. I really like the SV shift and the emotion in the shift. The remapping felt different to me but I will leave a full comparison to a current standard Aventador owner. There is a lot going in the cabin. Lack of insulation and dampening makes it more noisy in the cabin and the interior rawness and forward TFT adds to the drama. This is what I wanted out of Lamborghini and I am very happy. This car is not for everyone and there are few comforts. It is much less of a Rolls Royce than a standard Aventador but they will never make the Diablo era cars again so that experience will remain unique in those cars. Think 08 SL compared to a standard 08 Gallardo.

Drove and shot a pic at one of Lamborghini's most famous spots on earth!

Just back from a run. The car is spectacular!!! Everyyhing is so raw and on edge. This car is what Lamborghini is. Wow!! Wow!! Wow!!!

It really isnt the waist, It is the thighs and buttocks that are squeezed into place. Reminds me most of a NASCAR car I sat in once but more comfortable. I passed on all previous Aventadors waiting on this car. I put my deposit on an SV when the Aventador was launched. I have about 5 hours of seat time on the track, on the road and in Italy in various Aventadors but I have not owned one. I can't give an owners comparison but also know that the Aventador has improved and matured since the early launch car with every one I drove. Was very close to taking a 50th but passed. It will be interesting to hear a late model Aventador owners comparison.

First Impressions: This thing is angry! I met it parked amongst roadsters and aventador coupes and it has this massive presence! It starts up angry and growls as you push it to speed. Night and day more extreme than anything I have driven outside of the Sesto or a full on race car. Dash and cabin are awesome! Carbon skin was worth it to me. Everthing feels like my 08 and 12 SL. Very raw and crazy. Cockpit is much different feeling than a regular Aventador. More like a fighter jet/race car feel. forward TFT is crazy nice. I like the sport seats but they are harder than the comfort seats but feel similar to my 12 SL seats. They are narrow and more race like than any other lambo seats I have sat in. If you have very wide hips, they may be uncomfortable but they complement the cockpit well. I didnt get a lot of drving today and will do more tomorrow. My first feeling is that everything is dialed up to 11. The car was moving faster than I could keep up with the experience. Observations: Very low in the front. Lower than a regular Aventador. Lift is a must Side mirrors should have been in CF. Not bad but could have been better. I think the exhaust note is plenty. There will always be those who want louder. Large SV sticker costs about $50 per inch of vinyl but is worth it. Makes the car. Painting or powder coating the wheel ring won't last long with tire service. Getting a wheel off appears to be quite an ordeal with special tools. Makes my Huracan look like a Chrysler K car when they are parked side by side.

The blue SV is stunning. Excellent color!!! Will be picking up and driving mine tomorrow.

Cheers Bryan. Wish I could make the Giro with you and Conc this year. Not enough time for the turn around back west.
