Jeffrey- I too owe most/all of my F-car expierence to the sheer generosity of owners of these fine machines. My first time (driving, though... nevermind  ) was an '87 Mondial 3.2 Cabriolet. Lovely car. Luscious, sexy, quick, and great with the top off. It may not set any records, but it can definately hold it's own, and it's a mid-engine car for you, the wife, and two friends (ok, distant friends, that back seat isn't huge!) The engine is a 180* V-8, and that's one HELL of a racing connection if you have any sense at all in the matter, far as I see it! (180* v8s are a compromise few companies can/will make. They'll make more power in the same displacement than the standard american 90* design, but they SHAKE LIKE A MOTHER! The Mercedes CLK-GTR race car is a 180* V-8, but the production car got a V-12, because the 180* v8 vibrated too much.) This post will probally get lost in the noise, personally I like both F-cars and Lambos. Ferrari stirs my heart more, thus it is the car I will own first. There is definately a place for a Countach in my garage one day! | ||

Jeff, If you notice my post I didn't say you didn't have wheel time. I just mentioned that you should, which you have, but the latter part of the comment is what's lacking. >>Formulate an educated opinion and post them with tact. If you want to bash a specific user for ignorant comments, that's entirely up to you. But there are people here who are fans of other marques.<< What the hell is The VC anyway? I hope that wasn't a reference towards me because I got no clue as to what that is. Cheers | ||

Oh and let's not forget the S2000 carries on a tradition of S cars built by Honda, namely the S500, S600 and the S800. And when Honda was in F1 they kicked butt. Honda is all about engines... hence the name Honda MOTOR Company and not Honda car Company. | ||

Allen and The VC... I have spent saddle time in most every current exotic. I chose the model of my Ferrari due to wanting a daily driver that would give me some weekend fun also. I have a few hours in the Diablo and also in the NSX. I have track time at Mid ohio and Road Atlanta in almost every Ferrai road car. I owned a Bora and currently have a Merak SS. So before you attempt to advise me make sure you know my experience level. One thing I can note for you both... THE WAY I GOT MOST OF MY EXPERENCE WAS DUE TO THE KINDNESS OF FERRARI OWNERS !! They were always willing to share their talents and experiences. And to answer the very weak attempt to bash my mondy.. Yeppers it was built in the same factory as the cars that won F1 racing and every major sportscar event in the world. It was built on the same floor that was walked upon by the best racers in the world. And it was tested on the same roads and track as the award winning racers. | ||

Perhaps I have forgotten but when did Lambroghini win any type of international competition? Was I asleep when they won in F1? Did I snooze when they took the title in Sportscar or Rally events? IF I was only interested in flash I would buy a new Saleen or perhaps an F1 McClaren. But, you see, Ferrari has what only a small handfull of companies has... History. And , unlike the love of my life LOTUS, Ferrari has managed to win again and again. Even when they have a dry spell they come back. A Lambro or a Viper may make you feel like your 4 inch Johnson is more interesting but Ferrari ownership makes you a member of a long lived and amazing club. | ||

William, the Countch was basicly designed in the early 70's. Comparing it to a car that was a total re-design in the 90's is not really fair. No doubt a 512Tr is a better car, it just took 20 more years to make it. I had a 80's Testarossa, and the Countach was superior in every single way. If you are only getting 4,000 miles out of your clutch, than you are abusive. My car had 70,000+km, on its original clutch, and still going strong, and with the performance mods i had performed, relatively easy, smoked a 512Tr in a straightline. | ||

I have only been here a week and already I am ready to just visit to research service answers. It is amazing the number of crappy flame posts I have read in just the last five days. Why would anyone come here to flame a brand of car? IF you can't afford one or you ego is too weak to deal with the attention that Ferrari's get then why come to a site that is only for Ferrari? My 86 Esprit Turbo with a few mods can run circles around my Mondial 3.2 but guess what? The magic of Ferrari is real and cannot be overcome with just a faster 0-60 time. GROW UP. | ||

My Countach is great looking has good power, lousy brakes, and you cant see the apexes although the suspension was top shelf in 1977 when the car was first introduced. My 512TR on the other hand can easily destroy it in all categories except maybe 0-60. I'm having the Countach repainted then she'll become my show queen. Parts are too expensive, too rare, maintanance is too much, a clucth lasts 4,000 miles if you are lucky & costs $5,000 plus to replace. Who wants to take the COuntach off my hands in exchange for a nice Porsche 993 Turbo ? | ||

Ferrari's and Lambo's are 2 totaly different animals. Too compare the 2 cars is just going to lead to arguments. The truth is neither one is better than the other. They are both very good at what they do. They Lambo in some opinions my be a little over the top, but there is nothing wrong with being different. The general basis of both car companies is to build exotic cars with outstanding performace, and looks to kill. They just do it in different ways. | ||

In a regular race, ill give you a head start and shift with my left hand. There is a reason why 9 out of 10 magazines that do compros between Ferraris and Lambos, always choose the Lambo. One of my favorites articles, first tests a Testarossa, then the headline on the Countach reads "Anything you can do, I can do better". | ||

Hello Again Guys, I never thought I would actually log in here again. But I feel compelled. As I stated earlier. The niche JRV has is, he is in control and deletes poo poo off his board and keeps it clean, as I previously stated in my post couple days ago. btw: Nobody should take this personal. This approach and method to Ferrari-talk and Lamborghini-talk is something I like and prefer. You of course don't have to feel the same. Now, as for Lamborghini vs Ferrari, all I can honestly say, 100% truth, I have owned 6 Ferrari's on and off over the years, and late last year got my first Lamborghini. A 1989 Anniversary Countach, and life has not been the same since. I didn't even drive my Ferrari again for 6 months. The only use it got was my wife used it to run errands. Believe me, at first, it took me awhile to realize and believe what was happening to me, but it's the truth. After awhile Ferrari's just got boring. | ||

Craig, I'm no racecar driver but both the Diablo and the Murcielago are very quick. The only real qualified racer reports I've seen are Derek Bell on a Countach (he loved it and said it was surprisingly good on and off the track) and one of the Andrettis. Mario I think. He said the Diablo was the best real road car on the planet. I think this was around 4 years ago. Then, given how the Murcielago has been touted as handling a lot better than the Diablo, I am going under the risky assumption that it's a great ride for the twisty bits too. Cheers | ||

Mark, Having driven a Murcielago, the car seemed of very good construction. I had no problems with borken shifters or the like. The only problem I had, was dashboard electrics. As for the speed. A Ferrari salesman told me after getting out of the car "Wow. This car is stupid fast. I don't think my brain could keep up with the car and I've never said that before!" Cheers | ||
| allan fiedler (Allanlambo)

As for the Murci only being able to match the 575M, well, thats pretty sad that you bring that up. Hmmm, lets see, lets show the absolute worst article on a Murcielago, where it matches the 575M, or check every other magazine, which i have several, in which it destroys it. Would you like me to post some articles with headlines saying" How Ferrari ruined the new 575M" ? And btw, my shifter is just fine, thanks for whining, i mean asking. | ||

Also, I found it quite humorous that such a supposedly astonishingly fast car could only match the 1/4 mile times of the 575M which has performance that I believe you described a "disappointing". What a joke..... | ||

Lamborghini built cars because he was dissapointed with the quality of his Ferraris. The LP400 (NO flares, wings etc.)-my favorite design Lambo - leaves no question as to what it was designed for, and it wasn't as a daily driver! Ferrari seems to build more practical cars, ones you can actually use. To me the Lambo is an exotic toy for occasional use. But I like cars and their enthusiasts, wheather Ferrari owners, Lambo owners oe '62 chopped chort Cheby Impalas...we are all one family belonging to an endangerd species list created by the EPA, DOT and insurance industry. As for me I'm saving up to go to Moscow and fly a MiG-29 - let's see a F car or Lambo beat THAT machine! | ||

In the strange but true category - Ferdinand Porsche died in 1951 but had already put together designs for a front engined replacement for his 911 design. Another Porsche legend, Harm Lagaay (Tony Lapine's protege) designed the the body around the 4 cylinder motor that Dr. Porsche designed. Ernst Fuhrmann takes the engineering credit for the 928. The factory supported 924 and 944 racing projects. Back on topic - the fuel injection for the Ferrari 308 GTSi/GTBi and Mondial is the same as the 924 - Bosch K Jetronic.... | ||

"Own a car bred from racing or own a car bred from a tractor?" Nearly all cars are bred from single cylinder, 4 cycle stationary farm engines which are descendants of the German Otto 4 cycle engine. Early farm equipment such as grist mills and water pumps were powered by single cylinder, 4 cycle gas engines. Some of the old single cylinder engines were so heavy to pull by horse, several tons each, that some were fitted with wheels and drive belts attached to the engine itself strictly for the purpose of moving them from place to place more easily. I have an old Fairbanks Morse SIX horsepower, single cylinder engine that weighs about 900 pounds. | ||

As a boy I had Lamborghini posters on my wall as opposed to Ferrari posters. Why Ferrari then?

Ferdinand Porsche also built tractors. He's better known for building the Volkswagon, 356, 911, 912, 924, 944, 928, 968, etc... Porsche has won more GT and endurance races and championships than ALL other marques combined. Ferrari has a very distinguished record of building tremendously successful race cars. Lambo has a very distinguished record of building cars for guys with ego's inversely proportionate to their (another term for Harley Davidson). | ||

Craig, if we're gonna look at it that way, then Lamborghini has come a long way; Enzo started with racecars, Ferruccio started with farm equipment... Putting down Lamborghini is not the way to go, here; it'll just make us look as bad as those ass clowns... i have more respect for someone doing her/his thing in some run-of-the-mill mass-produced econobox than Allan in his milked out Diablo... His whole attitude is wrong and he's obviously grasping at anything that remotely resembles a straw to compensate for some hefty inadequacies... Allan's not the rule, he's the exception(and never has the word 'exception' been used in such an extremely euphemistic manner)... If Allan was the epitome of exotic owners, i'd keep my Saturn and be happy- i'll never trade my dignity for a car. (Ok, maybe for an Enzo... ) | ||

In 1984 I had an opportunity most college freshmen would kill for, I drove a Lambo Countach that belonged to a friend of my grandfather. It was brutal, fast, uncomfortable, exhilerating, impossible to see out the back and very enjoyable for the half hour I had it. That said, if I never drive one again, I won't miss it. Road going Ferraris are civilized, enjoyable, and don't look like they were designed by Beavis and Butthead practicing with a straight-edge. Call me a pansy and a whiner. I love Ferrari - even though I own BMW and Porsche, | ||
