    Default Ferrari vs Lamborghini

    So i personally have always prefered Lamborghini over Ferrari... i don't know why but for some reason i have always pictured Ferrari as the generic exotic that everyone spits out when they think of winning the lotto, and that Lamborghini has more cool factor then Ferrari. So my question is a brand question on which MAKE you would prefer??? I like rides by both but if I had to choose to purchase a new base model of either I think it would have to be Lamborghini.

    If I had to choose between the two evils, I'd go Ferrari. At least it doesn't look like a giant LEGO.

    I'd get the gallardo LP560-4. Love the looks, love the sound, and love the background Audi DNA .

    I don't like Lamborghini's styling on the base Gallardo as much. Porsche for me.

    lambo all the way..i've just always had a thing for them. Only a handful of ferrari's i actually care for

    but the other day while visiting both stores with friends that are techs..i noticed that at Ferrari, all the cars being worked on looked liked they came straight from a museum and were to be driven right backed and parked.

    at lamborghini, a good few of the cars had scrapes from, modified, rock chips on the front..these supercars were actually being driven

    Funny thing is Ferrari is going to be about its racing before anything else. I think you see that in them than in any other car company period. Every time I read something about a new car coming out they are always comparing it to a Ferrari. The only reason they sell Ferrari's to the public is to back there racing. It is arguable that they have the best racing history ever. Another reason I prefer a Ferrari is that your not going to see one every day. For every Ferrari you'll probably see about 5 Lamborghini's and 20 Porsche's. Thats just my 0.02

    I would have to say Ferrari, based on the fact that it is truly Italian. Lamborghini still has it's Italian roots, but is not longer full blooded Italian like it once was. It's been tainted with German hands.

    I love both carmakers, but I just have to go with the tru Italian one being Ferrari. Plus I like the F-50 and Enzo better than the Diablo or Murciealgo, although I still like them.

    The Ferrari name is just unduplicated and overall an amazing looking car that has stuck true to it's history for many many years.

    How is it ignorant because I said its arguable not a fact. You will never be able to convince everyone that Porsche is top dog when it come to racing.

    Ignorance is the condition of being uninformed or uneducated, lacking knowledge or information.
    You didn't/don't know.

    Thanks for the definition but I'm fully aware of what ignorant means. Not knowing that Porsche has over 20,000 wins in various race series is hardly a reason to call someone ignorant. There is always someone more knowledgeable so I guess were all ignorant to some extent. So if I'm ignorant because I said that you can argue that Ferrari has the best racing history and you got offended then so be it. Also can you give me a link that states Porsche has 20,000 victories in almost every series. I would like to read up on it.

    are u mad? lol

    porsches u see all the time but lambo's? even when im down in Miami i didn't see that many lambo's but ferrari's all day long.
    a good bit of people i've met that buy ferrari's have no clue about their racing heritage nor the car itself...Same thing with Jaguar owner.. they assume instant ass pass when they drop the coin.

    and most performance cars that come out, they seem to compare to an M3.

    Sometimes i just dont get you...but, oh well!

    Me personally, i'd take a Ferrari.

    Why?, cause i could care less about how much poon a car can get me. I had the fastest car in my high school and the best part to me was that no one knew it was mine for months.

    I guess i see a car as a driving machine 1st and don't care about anything else.

    + Heritage and pedigree mean something to me and no brand has more of it then Ferrari. Not even Porsche. Not many people know that Enzo never wanted to make street cars but was convinced by Luigi Chinetti. Otherwise, we would be buying Ferrari power tools to fund the F1 team.

    Neither of them can win the greatest ever.

    Porsche racing didn't start with Porsche, it started with Mercedes and the SSK.

    Ferrari raced Fiats when they dominated in the 1910's and years Later Started the Scuderia Ferrari Alfa Romeo team.

    Remember that Le Mans in 1931-1935 was won by Enzo's Alfa 8c 2300.

    Even looking at the European championship of the 30's.

    The Nazi sponcered Porsche Auto Union GP cars were up against the Alfa 8C Monza from Ferrari and Nuvolarii.

    You cant call a winner between the two. Their histories go back more than 100 years and will continue to.


    Because just like Bentley, Mercedes Benz, Peugeot, Miller, and Jaguar. There histories will never be forgotten just cause today they arnt like the old days.

    Ferrari>Lambo. I agree with what people say about Ferrari's always seeming to be garage queens and not road cars. Personally I wouldn't have any problems personally driving a F430 as a DD personally I believe that a car is not meant to be kept in a garage to simply be looked. Cars are meant to be driven. Manufacturers spend millions of dollars and man hours in R&D for a car and for ANY owner of ANY car to not drive the car simply defeats the purpose and is a waste of the companies time and money.

    NO WAI... 20 Porsche's yes but Ferrari's are way more common then lambo's ... either way we aren't talking Porsches, Bugatti's, etc... you get the choice of Ferrari/Lambo and I posted up both 2008 models + specs

    And you see no problem with that?

    Cause that's exacly whats wrong with the Gallardo and why the LP560-4 has less VW in it.

    It's Italian. Not German. Make it as such.
