.........and the Lambo weighs 1500 kg or 3300 lbs, now that's the funniest thing I've heard in a while. You would think they would clarify that's the "dry" weight of the SV and that's probably a stretch as well. What will Alan say now...

I would say an honest weight for an SV is going to be around 3800lbs. A regular 640 is just about 4000. BTW, removing the exhaust and replacing it with an MS Stage 2 will drop 91 lbs right away.
Either way, Lamborghini did some really trick stuff with the SV to make it a helluva car. I thought this was a great video. Well done.

I knew it. As I said earlier, you could actually see an orange car periodically reflected in the Vette. Given the orange SV making the rounds it seemed quite likely.

The track looked a little wet. If that's so, the ZR1 did very well!

I'm dieing to see how such comparisons turn out with a 2010 Zr1. The addition of the traction control modes will hopefully help out less-than-pro drivers with post apex oversteer.
