I think that the answer to this whole debate is to just own both of them!!!

I miss the Yugo on the streets in the 80s.

Not to bring up an old topic, but i just wanted to let a few of you know that Ferrari gave a few of those magazine ringer cars. In fact during the gumball race this year, atleast from what i have read that the F430 looses to the Gallardo, and we all know an SL600 will absolutely bend over a Gallardo. Just wanted to say that.

Unfortunately my source would be on Lambo power, a bias website. IM gonna try and dig some info up though. But if you look in alot of the test on the F430 the numbers range from 11.6/7-high 12s.

I hope thats enough for now. If you notice the first F430 test which were done at Fiorno(SP?) where in fact ringers. They were running 11.7 1/4 times, now it seems the best alot of the car mags can get is a 12.5.
