F-Spider vs. G-Spider

Ya, you sound like a Hooters kind of guy!!!!

 

Of course you would, I wouldn't want to lose $10G in 2 hours either. So lets go $1,000 a picture and 20 minutes to make it worth your while. I guess the major challenge in this operation is convincing the valet to keep your car up front and not take it out back where it belongs.

Holy Mr Bigglesworth, you could leave a 328 unlocked in the middle of Harlem and come back 3 days later and it still be there.

 

Stop the talk and bring your poseur mobile Lambos to Vegas if they can make it without being towed most of the way.

And yes I am a Hooters kind of guy I like young hot friendly women which is the total opposite I am sure of what you like.

 

I understand completely. A woman with any intelligence & sophistication knows a 328 is a POS driven by wannabee-ballers living out of their 2 bedroom apartment or condo; I'm sure you feel great having the fastest car in the apartment complex -- woops, I'm sorry -- its a 328 -- that high-schook punk with the NEON SRT is faster.

Nonethless, I'm sure you're king-of-the-hill over at Hooters and the local high school and for that my friend, I commend you for exploiting the ignorance of young, impressionable females who don't know the difference between a $30K 328 and an $1 MM Enzo.

 

Ok..Lets compair apples to apples here.

When the 308 was introduced what did lambo have in its line up? The Countach (which was a a cool car, but rated one of the worst to drive), Espada, Jarama, Urracco (which was one of the worst Lambo's built) Advantage Ferrari.

Ferrari also at this time had the BB512 in there line up..which was voted a better overall car then the Lambo..and was faster head to head..according to road and track.
Advantage Ferrari

When the 328 hit the market Lambo had the Countach..LM002, and Jalpa.
Ferrari had the TR as there 12 cylinder flag ship..again chosen over the Countch for overall best car. LM002..well what needs to be said about that POS (although I do like the silly thing)..Japla..faster then a 328..but so poorly put together a few of the car magazines refused to top speed test the car because of saftey concerns
Advantage Ferrari.

Present day.
Ferrari has the F430, 612, 599. All are stellar performers, no matter what they look like. The 612 is an unbeliveable car for it size and weight, and the 599 is supposed to put a serious spanking on the current Murci, in every catagory.

Lambo has 2 cars. The Murci ,and the Gallardo. The F430 beats the G car quite well..and is almost as quick as Lambos 12 cylinder super car...But remember the G car has 10 cylinders were as the Ferrari is only 8. This shows the engineering the design work that went in to the engine and overall drivetrain of the F430. Anybody can make a larger displacement engine go fast..but it takes a real design team to come up with a small displacement engine to hang with a 6.2 liter 12 cylinder...makes ya think.
Advantage Ferrari.

You must also remember the Ferrari builds and designs there own chassis. They are not shared form any other manufacturer..unlike the Gallardo. The engines in ferrari's are not peiced together from other engines form another manufacturer..they are all made in the Ferrari foundry on site from start to finish. The design is all done in house, with help form Ferrari's design studio Pininfarina.
Advantage Ferrari.

lambo has no racing history
Advantage Ferrari.

Lambo is not the world most recognised name
Advantage Ferrari.

lambo will never be Ferrari
Advantage Ferrari..

Lambo is one of my fav makes. And I'm looking to buy a Diablo very soon. But I'm not blind to the out right facts of the matter. Ferrari just has too much history, too many better cars to choose from.

If you want to compaire the older Ferrari's to the older Lambo's go ahead..but don't comapre a 15 year old smog choked 328 to a G-car. Thats like me comparing the Murci to a minivan.

 

Ahhh another HIGHLY misinformed Donkey devotee. Lets begin....

Ill partially agree with the first part of your post, inmo, the Urraco, Jarama, Espada are Pos. But then again, so is the 308Gt4,Daytona, Mondial, Dino etc. The Countach we will take out of this compro, as comparing the 2 is sacreligious, more on that later. But Lambo did have the Silhoutte, and in 1982 the Jalpa. In Road and Tracks compro between a 308QV and a Jalpa, one line will always stay in my head" If Magnum ever had to chase villains fleeing in a Jalpa, he might as well park the Ferrari." Inmo, none of these cars is truly extraordinary, but the Sillhoutte and Jalpa, are quicker, better braked and handling then their fcar counterparts. Personally, i wouldnt want any of them, but if i had to choose, Ill take a Jalpa, with the Bravo style wheels, no wing please.

Advantage Lambo.

Road and Track tested the early Countach, and claimed it to be the Worlds Fastest Car. In one test, they did race it against a BB, and the BB was quicker, BUT it was proven the Countach wasnt in proper tune. If youd like, I can supply COUNTLESS roadtests were the Countach ruins the BB. In any case, the Countach is still to this day, one of the most talked about, loved and storied exotic cars ever created. The Countach is of mythical proportions to this day, a BB is all but forgotten. Ask any school kid today what a Countach is, and then ask them about a BB. I gaurentee NONE of them will even know what a BB is.

Advantage Lambo.

As for your Countach and TR Road and Track compro, you are saddly mistaken. R+T tested both cars, starting with the TR. Then you flip the page to the Countach and the heading reads" Anything you can do, I can do better" . Another good write up on both cars can be read in CAR. Where the Countach destroys the TR. Since you like quoting Road and Track, heres a good one for you. " Your out cruising in your brand new Ferrari testarossa, when you see a curious spot in your rearview mirror. You drop down a few gears, thinking youll leave the intruder in your rear view, but as the speeds increase, the blue dot starts to pull away, and its you that is seen in the rear view. What car is this? A 1968 Lamborghini Miura..... From your pals at Road and Track. I had a TR and Ct QV. The TR went bye bye in less than 6 months.

Advantage Lambo

So lets get to current cars. The 430. A revise of the 360 with performance of Lambos from days gone bye. The 430 is a nice quick car, with bland styling. The 612, is an abortion. The 430 beats which Gcar? And in what? At Hockenheim? On the nurburgring? You better check your info again, because as of now, the 430 cant beat the Gallardo Spider on the Ring. Now we are bringing in the 599, an unproven car that hasnt even been released yet, and its theoreticlly beating a murcielago which was introduced 5 years ago. For your info, the Murcielago 640 will hand the 599 its ass on a platter, and im willing to bet an old Murci will not have a problem.

Advantage lambo

The 430 is almost as quick as a Murci? I raced 2 different 430's including Yh8ts modded 430 in my stock Murci, and its not happening for you. As for design being in house, who cares? looks like Ferrari should farm out more often, their cars would be more interesting.

Advantage Lambo


Ferrari more recognized name? Hardly, a couple years ago, AOL ran a poll on the most coveted exotic, guess what beat out the Enzo? The MURCIELAGO....

Advanatge Lambo


Lambo never being ferrari, THANK GOD, id die of boredom.


Ferrari has racing. Who gives a crap.

 

Amazing..I read this entire thread and it seems that it's all about being seen rather than doing what these cars were designed to do.BE DRIVEN!

And drive is what I do with my Lambo.The best time early in the morning out in the country.It's never been to a starbucks and never will.I find the attention part of owning one annoying.Idiots with camera phones,people following to close.If you want/need attention,walk through a mall naked.

I'll be out early tomorrow with some Ferrari and Porsche drivers enjoying the hell out of my Lambo.

 

Ok guys the harsh post earlier in the day was made by my 17 year old nephiew. I apologize for that. He has been banned from my computer for life. However, this thread should be about 2 cars f spider and g spider, I am very interested in feed back between these 2 cars.

 

Truth, that is one comment people use way too much when trying to defend Ferrari, dont get me wrong i love ferraris, but for me racing history has nuthing on the looks and what not of an exotic car today...just look at Pagani for example...just my 2 cent take it or leave it...

 

When I first bought my 430 I was very impressed with the throttle response I even thought thay it might just beat the Lambo, I love the 430 all my lambo friends know it too, I get teased a lot but I LOVE the car. For me it's a privilage to own both. They are both great. Attention wise and raw performance Lambo hands down, Class and Style and drivability Ferrari. Its like having 2 kids you just can't allow yourself to have a favorite.

 

Perhaps this guy?

When I get my Spider we can race if you havent gotten rid of your 430 by then.

 

Nope that guy dont give a crap!

 

When will your car arrive? I have been thinking CGT lately I just dont know, one of the cars might have to go. You may be right!

 

J.P. obviously need to go back on his meds. He's seeing things again. That's probably why his old lady left him. And don't try to give us any jive about you have a girlfriend. If you did, you would not be drooling on menus at Hooters.

Sell the POS BB. Use the money to put a down payment on a Nissan Altima, lose some weight, get hair plugs and some therapy

 

Funnily enough, that's pretty much the same as a comment I made early in the thread - nearly every L-car owner really *drives* their car passionately. Nearly every F-car owner is toddling along at 20 below the speed limit (and in Singapore the speed limits are loooooow).

For that reason, I consider the local Lambo owners really cool. Nearly all of them do track days too.

Don't hate, just stating my observations, and there are occasional exceptions.

 

Truer words were never spoken.

 

Lame? Weren't you the guy to comment that the Gallardo doesn't attract attention, yet the 328 & BB draw people in droves? Funny, you seem to be talking out both sides of your mouth.

 

For those of you that are saying the F430 "beats" the Gallardo in performance, you are partially correct. In 2004 and 2005 Gallardo's, the cars have 500hp and tall gearing. In 2006 Gallardo's, the cars have 520hp and shorter gearing. The 2006's beat the F430 in both straightline and track performance. It has been documented regularly in recent magazine publications. If you are interested, I have copies that I can post here.

 

Its like a virus . Every now and then we have an attack of the dickheads ?

Enough . Both are are great brands . Both have had amazing and crappy cars . End of story .

 

Sweet. The widowmaker rocks.

 

This is getting ridiculous,an interesting thread initially,was just brought down to a sandbox fight level by a bunch of insecure dickheads.
GSpyder and his cohorts only bring a really bad image of Lambo owners and these cars deserve better then that.
What's with that blind hatred of all things Ferrari from that guy??

 

You just described yourself clearly to all of us now forgetting to add a non exotic Mustang owner, I know nothing about drooling at Hooters unlike you of course.

 

Did I say anything about the 328 drawing attention at all? typical word twisting crap by you guys.

And yes my BB gets way more attention than a Galardo thats a fact which seems to be your primary concern, a G looks like a SUV compared to my BB its so high and tall as well.

 

My car is supposed to be here in June/July
