Default If the center exhaust happens, I won’t buy a Lambo

I was seriously considering just keeping my C7 and saving up for a used aventador until I saw those spy shots with the central exhaust. Oh my God I am so excited it isn’t even funny. If they do this, I’ll buy it and not once wonder if I should have got the lambo. Please, GM, please bring the central exhaust to the Z06!!

Everyone one is different and has different tastes. Why is this such a shock to people every time.

The location of exhaust tips is your primary decision factor? 😁

So if they make Lambo doors standard on a Z06 will you buy a Lambo because it has regular doors?

A friend of mine took delivery of a new Aventador about 8 months ago and he told me yesterday that he couldn't stand it any more and sold it back to the dealer. It had been in for warranty repairs a total of ten times in those 8 months. I drove it, terribly uncomfortable, more like a torture chamber but insanely fast.
I really hope you don't end up with that one if you buy used. You might want to give the C8 a second thought even without "central exhaust".

I think it looks much better Centerline, though my decision has already been made.
im excited to see what it looks like with the Camo off as a whole package.
The question lingering is which one is the GS and which is the Z..?

not sure if it's been discussed... but it doesn't look like it's quad tip like we're used to.... seems like two exhaust and maybe two turbo dump... which is further evidence that a twin turbo model is coming perhaps.

Wastegates have to go through the cat, so it's not that. Apparently it's for anti-drone. I guess the Civic Type-R had this.
