I live here in south fl.. and a good friend of mine works at the place where shaq gets some of his cars customized... needless to say my friend is cool with shaq and he takes the cars home sometimes that he's working on...
some 1 told me that they saw him driving a gallardo yesterday so last nite i happen to be in my friends neigborhood and stopped by his house.. and sure enough there was a 2 tone silver/baby blue gallardo out front... i call my friend he comes out and i sit in the car and he turns it on... then im standing outside the car and i notice something weird... the car looks longer than usual.. so i question my friend about it and he tells me yeah its streched out for SHAQ he paid 80k to get it strechtched out... the seats inside dont move they are fit for a 7" footer ofcourse so my friend is only about 6" so he has to drive with a big pillow behind him to reach the pedals lol. well off to the good part i told my buddy to give me my first ride in a lambo and ofcourse he didnt say no.. we took it for a spin on an empty road and OMG that is a beast.. the car is stock engine wise.. it does have system upgrade full alpine head unit , custom headliner , custom seats ect... my freind cleaned the clock to 150mph in no time and the car has some serious torque... the brakes left me in awwwww it stopped on a dime... i tried to take a couple pics of it last nite on my pda phone but it was too dark and they didnt show... my buddy is suppose to have the car for another 2 weeks because they are installing an exhaust system and hamman kit to the car.. so i'll probably go by later on and take some pics of it in the day time so you guys can see it... over all it was a cool night and i got to ride in my first lambo even if it wasnt wish SHAQ himself the ride in was car was cool enough.. lol i have to say im sold... I want a lambo but im about 150 grand short lol.
funny thing is that i saw a video on street fire.net those that where posted from members of the m5board.com and a orange gallardo was side by side with an M5 so if thats the case id like to go for a ride in an M5 and see if it feels the same. well thats all for this little story enjoy and thanks for reading.

So customers pay your friend to upgrade and customize their car(s) and he feels it appropriate to take his friends for a joy ride in them. 
I suppose you both were just getting baseline measurements so that you can tell if there's a difference after the exhaust and Hamann kit are installed.

So was it custom made by Lambo for Shaq? Or did they stretch the body off a production model?

i don't believe it was custom by lambo for shaq.. the car car still has california plates... from what my friend told me the stretching involved cutting and welding .. custom doors where orderd with double hinges for added wieght and custom windows door panels ect... supposedly a very reputable shop in cali did all the wok when the custom parts were ordered.. all my friend knows is that shaq told him it cost about 80k to get it done.... when the car got here to FL it was already strecthed... the company is the same ones that always feature streched cars in the shows @ SEMA.. they've done bently gt's ,chrystler 300's, and other cars from what i hear...
