Ferrari vs Lamborghini

Side note, why the hell is Porsche being brought into a Ferrari/Lambo argument?

Get that unreliable ugly nazi sh!t outta here.

Unreliable!??!??!?! Compared to a Lambo or Ferrari?

[Ruiner]

I'd take the Porsche 997 GT2, but that's just me...the GT2 would rule either of them. Trust me, you get plenty of attention in a Porsche turbo of any kind and you don't have to worry about it breaking down all the time.

I think of anyone on this board you would know too.

I've always liked Ferrari much better. Lamborghinis have slowly become cars for attention whores IMO. People that buy them usually put huge heavy chrome rims on them and park them next to their Hummer H2. Ferrari makes car in red, yellow, black, etc. while Lambo has glow in the dark orange, lime-green, along with other wtf colors.

And I prefer RWD over AWD anyday.

It seems to me that a Ferrari is the standard "millionaire's car" and is only good when it is either being driven around a track or being looked at through multiple inches of glass. While that's not a bad thing - the being raced at, not the being gawked at - you could probably only enter in 5, 10, maybe 20 races in a year if you don't have to work much? And even if all those races were 3-day affairs, that's only 60 days that you would get to use your car, which is pretty ****ty for the ~$200,000 investment.

Now Lamborghinis, on the other hand, seem to have been built with the intention of geeting you as much tail as humanly possible. They're as flamboyant as Jack McFarland at a pride parade, sound louder than a tornado through multiple bullhorns, and are saturated in colors that would cause an unborn child to go blind in the womb. Sure they can drive nicely around a track too, but that's not why they were made - hell, even Lamorgini himself realize this and thusly announced that they wouldn't make race cars, although for different reasons.

Thusly, comparing the two is kinda like comparing apples and oranges. On the one hand you have the Ferrari, the car for people who want other people to know they have money, who are racecar drivers who feel that Porsche is still Nazi owned and operated, or who are elitist, pretentious, snobbish douchebags who like to rub their non-knowledge of racing history and borrowed racing pedigree in other people's faces, and there's the Lamborghini, which is made to loudly roam the streets getting you as much tail as possible.

Since I'm not (yet) a racecar driver, and I'm not pretentious, and I would like to get the most tail possible, I'll take a Lambo please. But if I could choose any car, I'd take a GT3 RS.

[Mr_Mischif]

He sold the Gallardo cause he got tired of people looking at him all the time.

He sold the Gallardo Spider? When? Didn't he just get it in the middle of season 10?

[EJ25RUN]

Oh yeah its gone, he says he cant pick his nose in it, without pics of it in the news.

Depreciating assets are never investments.

Depreciating assets are never investments.

Tell that to Ferrari Enzo owners.

Oh and did you read this?

[ironchef]

Ok fine there are a few exceptions to the rule. But for the majority of all makes and models, they will depreciate. Some will do it faster than others, but 99% will depreciate.

[Mr_Mischif]

Depreciating assets are never investments.

Well I don't mean investment in the standard sense, I mean you paid $200,000 to drive one. Also, don't most Ferraris appreciate in value? Wouldn't that mean that were you to lease one they would pay you? Most likely not, but still.

[ironchef]

Special edition Ferraris, limited makes, and vintage ones do. But not regular production models.

You gotta watch what has a chance and take a risk.....you seen Buick GNX prices?

You'd be surprised about allot of Ferrari and Porsche specials.

A Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale is worth more now as a lighly used car than it was new. Same will be said about the Porsche 911 gt3 rs and the Gallardo SL

But yeah, regular street cars...... down the drain.

Personally I like to do things backwards. People say Ferrari's are the true motorsports cars and Lambo's are all show and arn't built off of championship winning platforms etc. On that note i'd have a Lambo track car and a Ferrari daily driver...that way I could go to all the Ferrari club events and whoop ass.
Also I cannot stand the attitude and stereo type of a large majority of the people who track their Ferrari's. You can pretty much count on them being with 100% douche bags or 100% slow or BOTH. If you went to a Ferrari day in a midly set up E30 with a stock M20 motor and weight reduction I bet you could easily destroy 3/4ths of the field.

That is the truth, money cant buy driving talent.

I think of anyone on this board you would know too.

I used to have anything from people pulling up next to me and taking pictures on their cam phones to girls flashing me in traffic for no reason what so ever. I could park the car 30 spaces out in a parking lot, come back, and have 2 or 3 cars parked around me (still 30 spaces open). Their would be hand and nose prints on my windows.

There are days that I miss the attention, but there are also days that I don't. It's hard to explain. Not all attention is good attention.

[TheGodfather]

Are you ****ing retarded?

...not even close. I don't tend to enjoy any german cars because I hear of many problems.

I know a guy who owns a Ferrari 360, Porsche 911 4, and a Rolls Royce Phantom.

That Porsche has been the biggest piece of crap he has owned, and it's his second Porsche. The first one was just as crappy.

The Ferrari has been fine.

I know more people who dislike Porsches because of problems than Ferraris. So I'm going off of what I know from others experiences.

In conclusion, kiss my fat white ass you ******.

Yeah I know your car and I have actually talked to you a few times. Your car was absolutely beautiful. I actually got a chance to drive a Gt3 RS down the street and back at my old work. And it was like sex on wheels. Everything about it screamed beat me *****! I get attention in my audi pretty good too. But im sure no were near what your porsche would get.

[Kaiser]

Bleh. Gallardo every day of the week except sunday. It's probably a sin to drive rolling sex.
