Ferrari or Lamborghini?
Pick one and state why. I'll start.
I choose Lamborghini because of two reasons. One, I love the way the company started. If you don't know, Mr. Lamborghini was originally a tractor salesman who owned a Ferrari. However, after having several issues with the car (clutch especially) and Ferrari's refusal to stand behind his product and warranty it, Lamborghini decided to beat Ferrari at their own game. And so, Lamborghini started his own company to show Ferrari that he could build a better car than him. And my second reason is that I believe Lamborghini has held true to true super car ingredients more so than Ferrari. With the exception of the 458, 599 GTO, and the F40, Ferrari's of late, while still being great driver's cars, have lacked that true super car feel, they feel too average if you will. Lamborghini's on the other hand have always been balls to the wall. They were always revolutionary in their styling, in their power plants, and in their performance. So, I'd like to hear what you guys think. Ferrari or Lamborghini? Btw, I have a lambo track day next weekend. |

Also it just has those classic lines but not over the top,
Lambo's are to much "hey look at me" like a floating high pitched voice --- dressed up over the top for attention. A lambo is a car you can't drive in normal slow through town traffic and not look like a tool. |

This is funny. I just had to make this exact decision and Apex Paul will tell you I went back and forth a few times.
They are two different animals. Ferrari is like the fine wine of the exotic car world and Lamborgini is tequila. Ferrari is an engineer's car and Lamborghini is a rock star's. A Ferrari starts as a race car and is then made civil enough for the street. A Lamborghini is a street car that doesn't know it isn't a race car. If you want to experience how good a car can be, drive a Ferrari. If you want to scare the hell out of yourself and others, drive a Lambo. I love both. They each have their own time and place. |

Haha, that's awesome. That car is a drift machine with the TC off. I think a visit to underground is in order for some twin turbo's .

Lamborghini.
Ferrari's, IMO, don't look good. With the exception of a few. Their 1990 F40 model? Horrid. Plus, their older models, with the exception of their race cars, looked like every other car on the road at that time. I give Ferrari credit on their design on the 458. That is one good looking car. Even the Enzo and F430 is good looking. But I just feel that Lamborghini has built more legendary, better looking, and better performing cars. For example.. I side with Lamborghini. But that's just my opinion.

I chose Ferrari due to it's long racing history. When was the last time you heard of a Formula 1 Lamborghini?

Ever since seeing a Diablo when I was kid in Germany I was hooked. Then the "Bat" came out with the lift-up air intake wings ooooh eemmmm geee. And now the Aventador just makes me wanna rob a bank. Personally I prefer lambo body stlying. If I suddenly woke up inside a ferrari or a lambo the interior would be amazing for both cars, but I could give a lambo this look all day long:
