if i had that kind of money id get this!

There's a factory in Queensland that makes Countach.
replicas. The only difference is it runs a turbocharged toyota V8 quad cam

Firstly , if you are after a non Japanese Supercar , then I would have to agree that the new Corvette is Definately the best value for money and would be my choice absolutely hands down.

To answer your question though , I've known many people over the years (unfortunately not me) who've had these cars and the simple answer is The Ferraris are MUCH more user friendly BUT inconsistant in quality and are as reliable as a home made radio . While the Lambo's do have some reliability problems (as do all bloody Euro cars) , they're not near as bad as the Ferraris and the performance is the same or better .
Most Ferrari owners (like Starion owners) just see the problems as a necessary evil . However an unreliable Ferrari would be a bit more expensive than a Starion . . .

So it would be a trade off between reliability and practicality.

I'd go the Lambo .




p.s. Ferraris have a nasty habit of catching fire . . . .

Matey, you are spot on with the Corvette. I have had Vettes in my life and i can honestly say that they are a great car, provided they have been converted correctly.
I do love the Lambo a little more than the Ferrari...but i need to feel the buzz of it before i can make any decision.

God help me though, today i was 1 second from getting a 930 Turbo. Im home now and i realise that Porsche is just not up to the other 2 Marques.

Flav, you need the latest episodes of Top Gear!
They have been doing a heap of supercar testing recently, including the Zonda!! :o
Do you want us to send you a copy?

Also I had to laugh at the pics of the cars, a Jensen Interceptor for christ's sake. If ever there was a car that was a bucket of poop it was The Interceptor.

Love the shape of the Esprit but again shocking engines that were always breaking down.

Ever considered a Maserati??

Yes, I had a Kariff. Nice car.

Send me down a copy elf man! I keep hearing about this show, but i just never get to see it!

You got it man. Will be in the post Monday! :)

Thanks Matey...I'll take you for a cut in whatever i get if your ever in town.

Google video is your friend :) http://video.google.com/ Type topgear into there

Flav , if you want to check out some ferrari and lambo footage log onto wimp.com and just scroll through the list. Heaps of cool clips.

It's a tough decision, I've loved both cars forever!

The Ferrari is definately the more sane (or less insane) choice.

Either will make you love and hate them, make you laugh and cry, draw you in, make you totally intoxicated with them..............then rip your heart out.

But what a ride. :)

Actually don't listen to anything I say, I've spent six figures on Starions and nuked a six month old BMW with N2O. :)

hello flav just wanna ask r u mental to even try to compare a sheet metal chassis porsche [like ford escort to lamborghini or ferrari] a red head is nothing to a countach. a countach compares to a F40 the 512M however is differant.worked for ferrari for years own a rare lambo [sorry all no shit please still have staz] 5000s bit of a pig but fun 4 valve real refined chassis .but beware prices for parts 10K a guard .15K door skin.or a aston is cool saw hot girl driving 1 today with no plates.not even a look to me but was in my pajero lol.......

Na matey.......The 930 was quick, but its just a VW.

aahh get both!!
