    in early September I will be driving one of my cars from Phoenix to Milwaukee.
    I can’t decide which is the better choice
    Drive the Lamborghini countach or ferrari 308 gtb.
    There are a many reasons to do both and to not do one versus the other.
    I can’t decide!
    Which would you choose, and why?

    Thank you for your help

    Reliability I would say are equal
    Both drive very well

    I would give the gtb more comfort but just slightly

    Safe? Not sure how one would be less or more safe
    Like road safe?

    You can see out of a 308 fairly easily, Countach has rear view blind spots. Yeah I know, don't worry about what is behind you!

    Agreed. Ferraris are also meant for nice long drives. Lambos are great but I wouldn't be driving them for more than an hour or so. Good luck on your trip and feel free to share some pics :)

    While I love both cars, the Countach just makes for a much better story.

    Better to go with the one everyone will assume is a replica. Less headaches at stops.

    I had to drive a 5000S in 1986 from Upper Saddle River to Chicago between Christmas and New Year (overnight delivery to an important client).
    I needed physical therapy afterwards, my back, my neck were ruined, I suspect my current Tinnitis has something to do with it too.
