I'd lean slightly toward Ferrari for its racing history...

Ferrari for its Prestige and racing history.

Add to the fact that they tend to be less heavier as well.

Lamborghini is for the rich guy to say "yo I have Lambo cause I'm a Baller"

But then again I'm not really into Exotics.

Give me a Subie or anEvo and I'll be good.

Ferrari engines in thunder Mustangs, and Lambo's to drive. Even though this one is a turbo prop.

Agreed 100%! I loved the Countach as a kid.

But it's a 50/50 for Me. Both are superior machines.

Lamborghini. Ferrarri seems to think that a good supercar is one that's loaded with computers, a car that almost drives itself. To them the ideal car is a rolling computer. I do not believe this to be the case. I believe a supercar is something that goes by the motto "You make mistake, I kill!". Oh, and it has a proper manual, none of that flappy paddle nonsense. Lamborghini does this quite well.

The thing is those "flappy paddle nonsense" is far superior than the aging manual transmissions that we all like to drive. So Ferrari here is going for performance.

Default RE: Ferrari or Lamborghini?

Having driven a Countach, Boxter and other models, I would go with Ferrari.

I didn't enjoy the seating position of the Lambo (don't know if that has changed in recent models though...[&:]). I was almost laying down completely. The clutch was a true beeyatch and forget about backing the thing up..[:'(]. You litterally have to open the door and sit halfway on the seat and doorway to see behind you...

The Ferrari was just a bit easier to drive, but yah...the clutch was also very challenging until you got it down.

Come on now, Tommy... ease of backing up the car should not factor into the buying decision of an exotic..

i do miss having a mid engine car, its just a weird feeling knowing that everything is behind your head.

the corvette is weird because the nose is a mile long yet you sit on the rear tires.

I would to have loved driving the Countach no matter what! lol, But I get what Your saying, Also remember the one I am reffering to is the 80's model and back then it was all sharp corner designs and a power plant for a motor, Nothing more or nothing less. And forget about looking out the rear window when Your reversing.

I personally like Ferrari, a lower end one is at least in my future price range. My uncle owned an 02 575, got to drive it twice. It was a blast... it rode like crap, was uncomfortable, and was in the shop half the time he owned it, but I didn't see a single person who didn't stare at that thing, then stare at the 21 year old driving it. I have pictures somewhere around here....

I personally love all ferrari, especially the 430 scuderia. i personally love to drive stick, and would never get a flappy paddle. But the scuderia is an exception, as it shifts in only 60 milliseconds! its true f1 technology for the street. i also love that its a true hardcore, stripped down track car.

As for lambos, the only ones i like are the gallardos. the other ones just seem like theyre way too tacky.
