Lambo or Ferrari?

I am obsessed with Italy AutoMakers (Italian Heritage) and I would like to know what Italian Super AutoMaker you would prefer. There is also Maserati but I don't think they can perform with Lambo and Ferrari.

Ferrari, more of a car looking car, so naturally id like it better, having the 360 be my favorite car of all time might have something to do with it too.

I picked Ferrari but you might as well have asked us if we prefer doggy-style or missionary.

Personally, I'll take a Zonda. Ferrari and Lambo are great, but I've seen them all in person, and nothing is as striking as a Zonda. An Enzo looks purposeful , but the Zonda just looks menacing . Its my fav.

"Ferrari is the nice girl you bring home to meet your parents. Lamborghini is the wild **** you sleep with on the side."

If I had to choose, I'd take a Gallardo over a 360 Modena.

I'll say I'm a bit biased though.

I've only driven one Ferrari, and it was a 1991 512 TR, and truthfully, some things didn't impress me. The windshield was very steeply raked, so it was incredibly difficult to get a good idea of where the nose of the car was, regardless of seating position. The fit and finish wasn't what you would expect either. Considerable gaps in the dash panels, the center console had quite a bit of give, and the doors didn't seem to line up well with the rear quarter panel.

Granted, that wasn't Ferrari's best time, and one of the reasons why the NSX was considered such a steal when it was released. Fortunately, they quickly fixed those problems and I don't think you'd see that again nowdays, or ever.

I haven't been able to drive one of the angry bulls, but I have had seat time in a Gallardo. Fit and finish was excellent, and never have I see a speedomoter climb that fast when north of 120mph... one of the few cars I've ever been in that I've ever felt uneasy -- the only other really being a Lotus Esprit Turbo SE, which I simply believe hated me.

The Zonda C12 is a sick car, Mercedes V12 is hard to compete with. But out of the choice I got, Ferrari has to be my choice. Even though Lambo's were made to kick Ferrari's *** (Literaly, Lamborghini was a racer in the 60's for Ferrari and he had some issues with his Ferrari GTO and brought them up to old man Enzo, and his response was shutup and drive. So he quit and set out to make a car to whoop Ferrari on the track) But the Enzo is flawless from what I read. I used to work at a major casino in Nv. and I got to drive a 1991 Testarossa to the carwash. I felt like Don Johnson, it was even white. I was looking for the "Crocket and Tubbs Edition" plate. Anyways, it was pretty sick for what I got to drive of it, so Ferrari.
