From Topgear.com regarding Gallardo SE--Glad I went with F430 F1 "Comparisons to the Ferrari are impossible to avoid, so I won't try. Both are brilliant at being genuine 95-per-cent chunks of supercar pie. But the way they do it will appeal to different drivers and different attitudes. The Ferrari, ultimately, is the sweeter and better-sorted car - rear-wheel drive and E-diff working in almost ethereal harmony. The F1 gearbox the nearest thing they've yet got to a reason not to have a clutch since 7G-Tronic in modern Mercs. And it's the one to have if you're going to be a purist about it. But the Gallardo is scrumpy to the F430's Chablis. It's that little bit rawer and more brutal, but just as effective in real terms. The recent advances with Ferrari's differential in the F430 have neutralized rather than negated the Gallardo's fourwheel drive stompability, but it just goes to show that there are more ways than one to skin a dynamic cat. With the SE, the Gallardo is even more appealing, but doesn't quite match the Ferrari for feel. Saying that, and confoundingly - I prefer the way this one looks. Especially in white. Bugger."
Good for Lambo. They had to do something. Competition is good. It might even ease the waiting list for 430s. Yeah right. LOL
