Got to be Ferrari. They take a 3.6l engine and make 400+ hp without turbo from the factory. A 3.5l Z makes 287, a 5.7L vette makes 400, viper 8.1L makes 450. The lambo needs 5L and a v10 to make 500

Neway, Lambourghini rule, they are better than Ferrari in every way and now they have the finnancial backing of VW they will continue to create their own crazy bull for a while yet where as Fiat are having issues... Lambourghini are more rare and just look better, perform better and sound better.. (nothing personal jimmygirl!! )

Yeah, but they use high revving engines to do so...

Bhp = Torque x RPM / 5252..

This means that much like Honda engines (yes, Ferrari use a V-Tec like system) the Ferrari will have a smaller, thinner powerband and infact will make it slower around a track...

If you have ever heard a 360 modena in person, you will want that car for the rest of your life.

Yes, Lambo only has 2 U.S. production cars(Gallardo and Murcielago) while Ferrari has 4(575M Marenello, 456M, 360 Modena, and 360 Spider). But Lambo is making the Murcielago Roadster and the Murcielago R-GT.

Just was saying that i think the way that they are shown and talked about make them feel better to have. The admiration was what i was speaking of .

Man, I'm glad I tied it up... couldn't let those Ferrari fans get the edge.

Seriously though, I've wanted a lamborghini every since I was 8 (thirteeen years) and is the main reason I'm a business major, not a video game journalist like I want to be.

that being said, a black 360 modena spyder is the only convertable I'd ever own and I think the ferrari looks a smidgen better.

But the more power, the rarity and probably my long standing bias towards all things lamborghini keep it what I think about when I think of my favorite car

... with the possible exeption of the Bugatti EB100

This isn't Italian but I'd rather have it.
Caterham Super 7
specs
Curb Weight: 1,036 lbs.
Horsepower: 250 @ 8,000
Torque: 190 @ 4,000
0 to 60: 3.2
Skidpad: 1.15

Here's some 7s.


It's not very big.

Personally, I'd love to own a Black 348, but I had to vote Lambo because I've LOVED the Countach since I was a little kid in the 70s and early 80s. I literally spent 1/2 my classroom time from 5th - 12th grades drawing pics of them from all angles, and every summer my dad would take me to a dealer in MD that sold them. Of course I did the same with the 308, but the Lambo always seemed much more untouchable. Purely sentimental...

Yeah, I know what you are talking about.. I think Ferrari just had more publicity and that is why they get this greater admiration.

I have.. I have been in one.. Also in a F355 that was modified and that sounded better than the 360 IMO.. However having been in a Lambo Diablo that was on a track and next to the track when a Murcielago was going around and i have never heard a standard road car sound so good and thats not coming from an amature, i have heard 1000's and 1000's of high performance road and track cars and very little could rival the sound of a Lambo at full throttle... oi

I prefer the 360 spyder in silver IMO. Would you not drive a:-

-Pagani roadster?
-Koenigsegg CC8/CCR?
-SL 55 AMG?
-F 550K? (maby not...!!)
-F50? (don't think so..)

But the Pagani and the Koenigsegg...? Come on...!

Bugatti's are so rare and the Veyron has over 1,000 BHP. The best carmaker in France is Bugatti
