Seeing how this thread turned into: who can and cannot own a Camaro...

I completely disagree. Some of us chose the Camaro because:
1. We like American Muscle.
2. We wanted 4 seats.
3. Exotics are too showy some taste.
4. We like manual transmissions.

This has my vote. Not all of us go out and buy the most expensive car we can afford.

...

Now, trying to remain on topic.

Having said all that, I've never owned an exotic but there are quite a few people at my work that do, I know a few of them and have had the opportunity to sit in some.

My opinion (for what its worth [very little]) is that exotics "feel" REALLY NICE and TIGHT and expensive inside -- you want crawl inside of one of the stitches in the leather and live there. They even smell amazing. Ride quality is sacrificed less in the name of performance (instead $ is sacrificed).

Other than that, they've a bunch of really really nice things I'm not into:
- Very nice automatic transmissions (way better than the A10) but I'm a manual guy.
- A very European exhaust note... meh...
- The envy of every male... Do you really want that?

I've never been on the track in a Huracan or a 720 but having been on spirited drives in both I feel that they're not really better handling or performing than a ZL1 1LE just a bit smoother.

The guy that lives behind me has a Huracan and every morning when he starts it, he sits in his driveway and revs it like a a$$hole. His teenage son likes to race it up and down the street while my daughter is napping. Douche. Not saying all exotic owners are this way but...

My two cents.

Unfortunately, douches do exist. Not just in exotics but in all car type owners.

Not even close to the truth. A true car enthusiast is a true car enthusiast. I’ve owned 2 Lambos. The LO560 was wicked but a bit dated. The huracan would be amazing and quite livable.

I think it will work until she outgrows the car seat (I think thats usually around 8yo? She's almost 3 now). Then once we take out the car seat that will free up some room and hopefully buy us a few more years. She's 3 now.

Having said that -- I've never kept a car longer than 2 years. Most cars I barely keep a year. I'm hoping this one is different since there aren't really any better cars with a back seat

GT-R?
Porsche 911?

Neither are better, certainly not for the money.

Oddly enough I'm planning to purchase one for my 40th birthday, just a few years off. I keep telling myself I HAVE to find a lightly used UGR Huracan....but I hear my step son in the back of my head, "Who are you kidding, it's still a Lambo if not a UGR". Been a life dream to own/drive one. Hard work makes it much more deserving.

Have you driven one? What are your thoughts on it vs the Zl1?

[SFV1LE]

I drove a Huracan 610-4 on the track at up to 130, and also drove a 458 and a 991 GT3 same day. The Huracan is amazing, it was every bit as nimble and quick as the 458 and easier to drive fast. And the cockpit is like riding in an luxury spaceship from the future. Hard to compare it to my ZL1 1LE since it was 2 years ago. I know my ZL1 1LE could keep pace or beat it on track depending on the driver, but the Huracan is easier to drive fast than the ZL1 due to the AWD and other tech. I LOVE my ZL1 1LE and feel like there is no other car that I need for now :-)

Exotics Racing?

[SFV1LE]

Yes Exotics Racing LA, was jonesing for some sportscar action when my Evo X track car was down. Later I went to the Porsche Experience center for a GT3RS and Turbo S combo.

The Porsche Experience is on my TO DO list next spring. My buddy did it last year and says it was a transforming experience. I guess the negative to it is that you then want a GT3 and you can't afford one, well......

Anyways, it would still be worth the experience.
