Ferrari 458 or Lamborghini LP-560?

[LtLeadFarmer]

I personally think the 458 is the best, but what is everyone else's thoughts?

458 its a fk**** machine dude, absolutly

 

[Luminis]

I'll take the LP 570-4 Superleggera. Don't care how good the 458 is supposed to be, I'm not much of a Ferrari fan. I'd probably prefer the R8 V10 over both, though.

 

[dice1998]

Er...didn't the Gallardo come before the R8?

 

[Luminis]

Yeah, the R8 is somewhat based on the Gallardo. I still prefer it, though.

 

[TheCracker]

I love how the Gallardo looks, but the 458 is a next generation mid-sized supercar. It's like comparing a PS2 with a Xbox 360.

Including the RRoD - or in this case, the BBQoD
But, really, for that kind of money, I'd rather buy two different cars, anyways. Something like an E92 M3 or the F10 M5 and a project/track car, probably something JDM...

Ferrari 458.

Always been a fan of the prancing ponies.

I saw a white 458 earlier today, I've not been to keen on them really, but seeing one for real and not just in a picture changed my perception. It looked great, especially in white!

This whole business about Ferrari tuning their cars for a specific track that is to be used in a comparison test, putting stickier rubber on their cars, and otherwise finding ways to bend the rules in their favor really makes it hard to want one of those cars. I wouldn't be able to live with a car knowing that's nowhere near as good as the auto publications are fooled into saying it is.

There's a Jalopnik article about it somewhere...

EDIT: Of course, this isn't 100% proven, and I'd be interested to see a rebuttal by another motoring journalist, but until I find some reasonable counter evidence, I'll stick with it.

Personally, if I were offered one of these cars for free, I wouldn't take it. I'm not a fan of paying a Miata to pull out a door ding or change a timing belt.

But if these were the only cars I could have at all, ever, I would choose the Lamborghini Gallardo. Why? Because I don't particularly fancy being roasted like a chicken when my 458 bursts into flames cause it can't take the Texas heat.

Lol...Gallardos were burning to a crisp long before the 458 even existed.

I'll take my LP560-4 Spyder in Verde.

 

[Razakproject]

the fact that driving a Ferrari in GT5 is not to say that the ferrari fan, driving pleasure, it is more!!! I have murcielago, and R8.... F458? undoubtedly a real cannon of the road.


are just opinions friends, and is the talk that we understand!!! Got it?

In the Evo magazine test between the 458 and the MP4-12C, it was the latter that was given stickier rubber. The Ferrari folk that were there made no changes to the 458 between the road and track.

I could want a Lambo LP 550-2 Balboni.

There are several owners here in DFW that would probably like a word with you....

By the way, it's not my video.

 

[Xavier2342]

i'd choose the Lamborghini LP-560...
