Ferrari vs Lambo - a frank discussion with special guest Allan Lambo

You mean, like the Murcielago? That's quite an entry level toy.

Go wash your daddy's car.

 

It's ok little man, nice try. You don't get to dictate the terms. I don't have to prove anything to you. It's obvious you and I run in completely different circles. You probably have a catalogue of pictures of your house, your toys etc..I'm going to assume that you are unable to back up your assertions thereby bringing a close to this discussion.

 

Wrong, this discussion isn't closed. We're just getting started. The difference between us is I don't have to back up anything. I have met many people from this board and other boards, and they know who I am and seen my cars. I don't have to speak for myself, I'll let the others here do that.

Take a gander at the next post, big shooter...

 

Moderator speak:

The comments are moving away from a discussion of the relative merits of the cars to a personal catfight.

Lets get this thread back on track or it will be closed.

Thx.

 

BUSTED!

Wait a minute...what do we have here? A little feature on FChat that allows you to look at previous posts by members? Well, gee...let's see. Hmmm. This looks like an interesting previous post by "bcmarly"...

"Not a lurker but a true fan of high performance cars. I also frequent other forums and contribute when there's something to be added. I've owned many high performance cars, but never a Ferrari. I'm not sure I ever will."

Hmmm. Now let's compare that to a post made earlier today:

"I love high performance cars and am not particularly tied to anyone brand. I have owned lamborghinis, ferraris, maseratis and corvettes."

Did he say he owned "Ferrari's"? I believe he did. But wait a minute, he also said that he's "never owned a Ferrari". Not just "Ferrari's" (plural), just A Ferrari.

There's more! Go check this guy out on the Vette forums. He's there. Funny though, no mention of ownership of Ferrari's, Lambo's, etc. Only mentions an M3 and a C6 Vette. Gee, that's funny. None of these stories seems to jive. What a shock.

Now how much credibility do you have? Yeah, you guessed it. Enjoy your fantasy world.

Now the discussion is over.

 

My apologies. However, I am simply trying to expose another internet wannabe that feels it necessary to instigate irrational discussions with true owners. I'm not saying that owners should take precedent over non-owners, but the people who pretend really irk me. As you can see from the previous post, this guy is clearly a liar in all senses of the word. That is all I have to say.

 

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on your prior post given the timestamp.

However, next person that focuses on making personal comments - be it a response to something already written or otherwise - will be banned.

Thx.

 

Nope you're wrong again. My younger brother goes by BCmarly and he lives here in the states. I'm here visiting him. He is a member on various forums. He pointed me towards this forum and I have posted under his name. He owns an M3 and a C6. Get your facts straight.

 

LOL! LOL!

 

actually, they don't....and out of the 4 ferraris models i've weighed, they've been spot on to the claim in the handbook...which is the car with a full tank of fuel.

 

Have to agree to disagree on this one PP. Std 550 with full tank of fuel is just under 1800kg on cornerweight scales, handbook "kerb" weight is 1690kg.

 

steve...you dope...you can't disagree with me. your car is not one of the four models i've weighed!

 

You must have weighed your cars on special Ferrari scales, sort of like the special test track Ferrari uses for its acceleration times. Ive see many an Fcar weigh no where near its claimed weight, as well as it having been discussed on this forum.

 

As for Bcmarly, I didnt think you could look any more foolish after Clax's post, but yet you proved me wrong. Good Job!!!!

 

yeah...that's it...i cheated just so i could say ferrari doesn't

 

Did you use corner weight scales, or weigh each axle separately on a weigh bridge?

 

took the cars to the local tip (should have left them there) and weighed then on their scales

why on earth would i want to weigh each axle separately?

 

Some people do, using equipment designed to measure axle loading for trucks, not realising that it isn't an accurate way of measuring total weight.
I am surprised though, I'm assuming you've weighed BB, F40, 355C and Dino. Seeing as I've only weighed the 550, your experience is more valid than mine.

 

BB, F40, testarossa and 355

 

HAHAHAH challenge stradale, dont they need to make sure they can sell standard F430s in the US before approaching that subject!!! why does everyone assume it will happen? it was just a special 360 and the special 355 was the "fiorano" etc....

 

clax, he has 50 posts, hes a senior around here now show respect!

 

Yesterday I saw the first test in miami on the track and in the city of the new Lambo Gallardo spider with 520hp.

The first impressions (that i read) were very very good.

At nurburgring the said that the lap time is 7:55

What do u think of the comparisson with the f430??

Would the lambo torsional ridigity be as good as the 430??

They said that the Lambo was as fast or even faster than the 430 but easier to drive quickly.

 

Do you really care about lap times for a Spider to drive around on the street? If one were that interested in track duty, a closed top car would be in order. To drive around and enjoy cruising, why would anybody consider a Lambo? Go straight to the good stuff, and pick up an Fcar.

 

Always nice to see a completely unbiased opinion from one of our non-biased members (cough, cough). Thanks for your contribution, TopElement. Probably not what napoleon was looking for.

That aside, both cars are great. It boils down to which one suits your preferences better. Both cars feel different, and look very different, which will ultimately sway you in one direction versus the other. Top Gear did describe the Gallardo Spyder as possibly the most beautiful modern production car they have ever seen. I'd have to agree, the car is absolutely stunning. As for torsional rigidity, I would say that both cars are going to be about the same, and wouldn't suspect any noticeable differences in this factor. There is one very noticeable difference in that the Gallardo Spyder has a glass rear window that also can operate separately from the top to act as a wind deflector. That is very cool. All in all, both cars are great, just a matter of personal opinion. In my personal opinion, the Gallardo Spyder is the best convertible exotic car ever made.

 

Good afternoon for me, here in spain is almost seven in the afternoon.

Yes, I care about lap times, I think is important, not vital but important because I care about dynamics, this type of cars what I think most of sport cars lovers like about them, besides the aesthetics and the magic that they communicate is that dynamicly they are advanced. Lap time are relatevly important because cars are close to the limit so they clearly and faster show if they are balanced, how they really breake, handling, reactions, etc.

I know a Corvette Z-06 is as advanced as a 430 but it lacks of lots of things than the lambo doesn´t.

And, u can be in love with a spider and love dynamics also, for instance in the thread I wrote before someone told me that the difference in time between a 430 and a 430 spider is 0.3 sec.

Finally (and if u like to) don´t be unfair lambo gallardo in my point of view is the closest thing in some aspects superior but not overall to a f430.

I love lambo but I´m in love with ferrari.

Have a nice day man.
