Lambo VS Ferrari

So which one is better?

I'm going to have to say Ferrari's because they actualy race and are good at it. Also they run!

Ditto. They also have the amazing ability to see behind the vehicle from the rear view mirror.

Although there is something appealing about a car company started out of spite, I'm going with Ferrari too. Better looking, and race bred.

Not unless you have one of these... (I don't know what I was thinking to not get a shot of them) but there are two huge Garrett turbochargers on either side of the radiators.

Normally I'd say Ferrari but I love how the new Lambos look. I'd love a Gallardo.

I think both brands are getting too luxury oriented (read, too heavy). And all the carbon fiber crap in the interior reminds me of rice rockets.

Hell im probably criticizing them b/c I'll never own one. Even if I had enough money

I like both, however the Lambo leaves the largest oil spot on my garage floor.

But carbon fiber is light! Ricers use fake carbon fiber, too.

Don't worry Ferrari has you covered, if the base 360/430 has to much stuff, you can get them in stripped out race versions. Or if you want to go even more extreme they did make the FXX. You don't even get things like exhuast, door panals, and carpet with that one. Radio? Ha sing to yourself!

Ferrari,,, not even close. Everything built by Lambo since the Urraco is a toy.

They're all irrelevant to me...the Bentley/Maserati dealer locally just opened a Lambo store and I see them running around town...neat, but what do you do with it? I'd rather have a big sedan that I can get in and out of without hurting myself. The only people I see driving them are in their 50's or better...nobody else can afford one.
