Proof that every Lambo driver everywhere is far superior intellectually than or I will ever be. The are vastly mature and far more responsible with their money, right down to the $54.36 someone got paid for that "original" and highly sophisticated sticker.

@Hello_Newman: I personally bealive that the Murci is the ultimate compensation mobile. Sensing some haterade of the ferrari brand...

Ferrari owners do have their negative moments, but the lambo drivers who i am around are all younger eurtrash type guys. I prefer the refined elegace of the ferrari vs. the overdone interiors on the lambos (hello black and white "pillow" stiching.

Lambo is to ferrari as bmw is to mercedes

They are both good cars in different ways, and owned by much different people. They have seperate but almost conflicting brand images: BMW is portrayed as a drivers car, whereas the Mercs are all out "luxury". They are both GREAT cars (in my opinion, ive had both), but just different.

Hello_Newman — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 03:30:25 EDT

Yes. I agree with the last poster, if you are a man, then a Lambo is right for you. If you are less manly, like if you hurt yourself and scream like a little girl, then Ferrari is the car of choice.

Just depends on penis size and driving ability to determine what you should be doing. If you care what other people thing, if that's what matters, and you need to follow the herd to be happy, get a Ferrari and love your life. If you are a man, or a leader or men, if you have an inability to take crap from people and a shining star to friends and family, get the Lambo. If you do less, you'll be letting them down and also reducing the opinion of sexual potency by the females that surround you. It's a pretty easy decision however. Just go with what's you.

OG_ — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 02:55:08 EDT

@Spasticteapot: Well what I meant to say is that Ferrari has always been a more refined piece of engineering while Lamborghini is all about wild power. Just like a horse and a bull. Driving a Lambo is like a bull riding and driving the other one is like riding a thoroughbred.

When you mention Audi and its qualities built into Lamborghini you are right but only if we speak of the present day models. If I'm not wrong only Gallardo and Murcielago are Audi's. Diablo was conceived in a pre-Audi era. I was speaking of all Lamborghinis when saying that Ferrari is always better and not just the last two models. Although when comparing these two makes it must be said that Lamborghini did have some really beautiful cars and names like Urraco, Espada, Miura etc. sound fantastic when pronounced in Italian and not in English.
One more thing when speaking of racing. You are way off when saying that they win just because of the fuel economy. It can be hardly said for something that has a high revving, race tuned 10 or 12 cylinder engine and of at least 5000 cc going at WOT for 80 percent of the time. They are not powered by small blocks nor do run on diesel, yet. Who knows maybe Germans will change that too.

On quality side, I don't have a first hand experience with either but I do think that present day Ferraris are not shabby and that their quality standards have significantly improved under Luca di Montezemolo's management.

dculberson — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 00:04:11 EDT

Oh, and ... I'm not much of one for expensive, flashy cars, but Lamborghinis are damn fine looking cars. Seeing one in person is still shocking. Claiming otherwise is just jealousy-fueled haterade.

Ferrari makes some incredible cars, too, but that doesn't make the Lambos any uglier.

Dissing one in favor of the other is folly on the order of kicking Claudia Schiffer out of the proverbial hammock in favor of Rebecca Romijn after your imagination just told you it was okay with a 3-way.

I'd probably skip both and try my luck with Franka Potente (the v10 Audi S8).

I love the way Moment of Zen brings out some of the best lines... no COTD pressure 'cause it's after-hours; we can all just let our hair down and toss out what comes to mind. Some of us (raises hand) are a bit toasted, and may think we are funnier than we really are (raises hand again), but the interchange is still fun and often funny. All hail los Jalops...!

Spasticteapot — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 21:38:44 EDT

@OG_:

A Ferrari is a pedigree racing car from a company leading in Forumula One. Much like their formula one bretheren, Ferraris are lightning-fast and glorious to drive. Also, much like their F1 counterparts, the need engine and drivetrain repairs about as often as I change my socks.

On the other hand, A Lamborghini is really just an Audi in an orange suit - a company known for boring cars. Even their racing program wins not by performance, but by fuel economy and reliability.

Remember, unless you're on a track, the performance enhancements of an F430 over a Gallardo are very small. But you need not be cruising along the Nurburgring to appreciate that your alternator still works.
