Drive one for a day: Lambo or Ferrari?

Recommended Posts

The lambo. Much more power, stiffer chassis, better gearbox and suspension. From what I understand it handles like a lotus elise.

The F360CS went round the Top Gear test track 3.5 seconds faster than the Gallardo. So did the standard version of the 360's successor, the F430;)

I've always found the Lambos to try too hard on the looks side, in a tacky kinda way. I mean, they are awesome looking, in a fat, mid0life crisis kinda way. The Gallardo is a bit better, but still... Explains why Clarkson bought one! :ph34r:

Does Cary still have his?:D



If yes, I propose we do a shit-bombing run in the Otter! :D:D:D


As for the Ferrari vs Lambo argument, my question is, how do they hold up in front end crashes?

I was in a friend's Porsche 10 years ago when somebody in a Honda Accord ran out in front of us. We hit that sumbitch behind the driver's door at 50 mph. BAM!!!! The front end only crumpled up maybe 6 inches. The windshield wasn't even cracked! Not a single injury nor whiplash to either my friend nor me. :oB|

No kidding! I was driving home from the dropzone last weekend and pulled up next to a Ferrari at a stop light and glanced over. The guy was getting a blow job from a blonde. It must be a factory option? Right?:P



It was probably Sunshine! :ph34r:

Neither, I am just no into red cars. now if they were yellow that would be a different story.;):P



One of the cars is orange. :P And I picked that one because it's the prettiest. I know nothing about either of those cars, so I could only choose by the looks.

I'll never forget that movie "The Cannonball Run".

I'd be too scared of scratching it to drive it anywhere close to where the difference in handling would become relevant.

Accelerating in a straight line would be a different story, especially with traction control. 5 liters, 3.6 liters, no contest.

There's also the V12 sound. Without a V12 under the hood it doesn't deserve a prancing pony on top of it.

The question wasnt about the 360cs, it was about the 360.
The 360cs is faster than the standard f430 or the lambo.
If it is between the lambo and the 360cs then the choice is easy, the 360cs.
