    Just want to throw this out there. I have had 5 Ferrari's so far, my current model is my 458 Spider. I bought my 1st Lambo 2 months ago for a second exotic car. Gallardo LP540-4 and when I drove it, it felt like a bar fight. Where all my Ferrari's feel like precise instruments. So I thought because maybe the Lambo was older and I was comparing it too much to the 458. So I just upgraded the Lambo to a 2013 Final Edition LP560-4, and still the same thing a BAR FIGHT.

    Is it me, or the feeling between the two that much different?

    Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't! Or are you feeling more like a lover or fighter that night?

    Just adding some humor, tough situation your in.

    What does a bar fight "feel like"?
    I am immediately absorbed with the nuances between the active and passive players in such a scenario. An interesting exercise, indeed. How can you draw me into your head space given the medium before us?

    The Lambo to me, feels just more aggressive. More brute. Not sure how to describe it. Not sure its me. Maybe I should pick up a 599 instead. I really did not want two Ferrari's in the garage though.

    Feels like a hostile environment in the Lambo. Is that better? Like a bar fight.

    Well, there are times to take charge and get outside your comfort zone. Should you emerge the victor, in your reference system , it can be both revealing and rewarding. Nothing a track day can't sort, I imagine.

    I wasn't impressed with the Gallardo I drove. It didn't have the finesse and agility my 360 does.

    I understand what you mean about bar fight.

    Every mistake seems to be magnified with the lambo. If you break too late the balance is upset more easily. if you the angle is wrong your steering correction will upset the car. and when you smash the throttle the torque just launches you forward and depending on how much road you have that may or may not be a good thing.
