458 italia vs gallardo

Which do you prefer and why?

I say the Italia. I think its better looking and classier looking. For some reason gallardo's look tacky and classless to me. Performance wise they are pretty close.

also, i have always had a huge soft stop for ferrari in general.

heres a good comparo http://www.roadandtrack.com/tests/co...o-superleggera

Let the record show that if I had to pay, I would go with the ZR-1

EDIT: Actually, F-that. I think I would just go with the ZR-1 either way because Italia's dont come in stick shift!

Italia, I just love that look. Callardo is a close second though.

Gallardo, unless the ZR1 is thrown into the mix.

Thats a hard one but between the gallardo superleggera and 458 I would go with the superleggera. If it was just a regular gallardo, I would take the 458.

If I had to pick between the Lambo and Ferrari,and it was a freebie, it would be the 458. I've never been a Lambo fan. But if I had to buy the car, ZR-1 all the way, lol!!

I'm sorry, for the price, I would take a ZR1 in a heartbeat! 638 horses @ 3,322lbs! You can't get any more ridiculous performance than that! For difference between the ZR1 and Ferrari I can mod the ZR1 and come out with even more performance! I'd love to ride around in an exotic, but the only thing that matters to me is performance, people will always admire your ride if you keep it clean.

I've always loved Ferrari's, so 458 for me. But if it was a Valentino Balboni RWD Gallardo, it would be a harder decision. Just not a fan of AWD super cars.

Going to go with the Ferrari. In Black or Red. Pure sex those lines.

Of course, please throw in the should be mandatory fire extinguisher on both please...they both seem to have a tendency to melt to the ground. Especially the 458, which is being recalled quietly by Ferrari.
