i've already expressed my point on those type of cars... i don't want to drive on the wrong side either..

Quickshifter

Get the F430

Its rear wheel drive.

its actually got a fair amount of torque (screw the 360)

And it looks a whole lot better then the galardo.

My friend had his Boss's Gallardo for a day and he said it just didnt feel "real"

Probably the AWD made him feel that way, either way in that class of car i would definatley go rwd

The 430's probably a better car IMO, but I'd take the Lambo as I've always thought of them as more exotic - although the Murcielago's more of a match for the 430... Honestly, if I had the money, there are 2 cars I'd take over either of those, athough these below are MUCH more expensive:

Um lets see. A Lamborghini is a Lamborghini. Pimp factor is better.

Oh yeah, nothing like copy & paste. Now that's all the fancy talk right there, but for me, I'd go with the F430.

F430's a more dynamic drive. Lambo is AWD and has that all-weather capability. I've seen the two side by side and the Lambo has more of an exotic appearance (splitting hairs). The Gallardo is quite a bit cheaper and 2nd hand low mileage cars can be found below $160K these days. F430 doesn't sound as good as the 360 nor the 355. I see too many old women tooling around in F360's and a few F430's, only men in the Gallardos The 430's are available through non-traditional (ie. dealership) sources. There's a Spyder for sale just up the road from me currently! Personally, I'd get the Gallardo and mod it a bit. I raced an F430 in my stock Evo. Beat it, but not by much. Yep, it was raining. Hard. Torrential. (I don't have nearly as much fun in the rain driving a 500rwhp RX7) It's amazing what a 480hp mid-engine rwd car can do with an electronic rear diff and a manetto on the rain setting. SHE was hard to loose! The Gallardo would have probably ripped me a new assh*ole, LOL.

If you're going for gold diggers, the Ferrari will always win.

Ferrari is Italian POS and Lambo is Audi is VW So much for the pimp factor. I'm totally on Hobie's side...
