Which should I drive? Gallardo, F430, or Z06? - Page 2

A Corvette Z06 is a very realistic purchase for many Americans, so if you really want one you'll probably able to afford it in your lifetime. A Lambo, not so much.

F430 is a sweeter drive than a Gallardo by a hair. Most people that have driven both would probably agree. The F430 paddle shift is just slightly more refined where the Gallardo is a bit better sounding at WOT but slightly less refined overall. You can't loose with either of those. I can't comment on the Vette as I have not driven one of those yet.

I have another one of these driving sessions scheduled for myself in October.

That's hilarious. When taking photos people would be like, "Hey is that the truck y'all drove there in?" ... and I'd say, "Hell no! That's the beast of a truck that I paid money to drive fast!"

Alright, I've made my decision. Lamborghini Gallardo! With a plan to drive a Z06 by other means at a later date!

I drove a Gallardo (Superleggera) in Vegas as well. It was interesting, but I didn't like it. The one piece seat wasn't meant for someone of my height, I couldn't get comfortable driving the car at all.

Now, the 458 Italia and V8 Vantage were a blast!!

Silverlsinva · 08-10-2012, 11:00 PM

I vote lambo as well.

*Camaro_Corvette* · 08-10-2012, 11:29 PM

Lambo

Rock36 · 08-11-2012, 12:13 AM

Yep Lambo

There is a reason that exotic cars use semi automatic paddle shift transmissions and not a traditional manual. Don't look at it as a bad thing. I have driven all 3 and I would recommend grabbing the 430 or Gallardo if those are not cars that are regularly available to you. The 430 is the best out of the 3.

What year is the gallardo? The first gen gallardo is painfully slow. F430!

silentownage001 · 08-11-2012, 04:08 PM

Gallardo. Out of curiosity what year is it?

THUMPER20X · 08-13-2012, 08:18 PM

Ive driven both several times. Take the F430, why are u debating this? lol. Its got a true paddleshift transmission. The Lambo shifters that era feel like a wooden spatula wiggling around in a petrified prostitutes bumhole lol. And the 430 when you are at high revs and mash it sound ****ing amazing.

Overflow · 08-13-2012, 08:55 PM

Gallardo.

Higgs Boson · 08-13-2012, 11:54 PM

Lambos are too 80s.
