1000hp Gallardo or 1000hp F430. What would you choose?

Your worst nightmare...
The F430 is a very refined car, but the way the Lambo has been going down the strip its proven over and over again almost nothing could touch it...Go with the lambo.

Modded to modded I roll the Lambo but clearly the car to own first imho at the stock level is the F car... heritage, inconic in nature and just downright pimp.
If its speed and rolling power that you want, like I said in the modded format, the modded TT Lambos are crazy. But remember any car can be made fast.
Ferrari is at the top IMHO.

F430's are more reliable then Gallardos, I work with both dealers, Gallardos break all the time and they are more expensive to fix too.
The Gallardo is the worst car to own and it is not a DD but if you drive both I can almost guarantee you would take the G.
I'm just hope I come to some money soon so I can buy a LP560 and send it to UG.. lol

Looks like I may have jumped the gun a bit too quick on the F430 dreams. Silly me for thinking it would be a similiar price to the Lambo kits. NOT!
Guess it's nearly 80k so combined with the cheapest F430 on the market (120-130K) range, that puts her a tick out of the ole budget.
Looks like it's 04 Lambo (70Kish) with a 30-40k turb kit. She won't be the fastest Lambo on the planet but sure is gonna be fun.
V10 sound combined with wastegates, HERE WE COME.
Errrr ehhhhh, in a year or so.
Thanks to admins for cutting me some slack and letting me ask a non AMG question to my fellow horsepower homeys.

PORSCHE PANAMERA TURBO LAMBORGHINI GALLARDO SL600 E55 BRABUS*SOLD*

Gallardo is far from played out. Lambo G from the 06 models on= more reliable and cheaper to maintain than a 430. I WOULD STAY AWAY from the 04 G'S.
There is a reason they are 80k. Once you get to the 07 models there isn't much of a difference in used price from the G to 430...... 10k perhaps.
You might be able to get a 360 in that 80k range.
good luck
