Gallardo. Well built, v10 awd.

F430, torquey v8, expensive to maintain compared to the other 2

r8. r8 regular would be boring compared to the other 2. R8v10 would be so expensive the other 2 would be worth buying.

at the end of the day I'd get the Gallardo. I know a lot about Gallardo's and they can be daily driven unlike the ferrari.

The F430 has the least amount of torque out of the bunch or so I thought?

You could be right. I've not driven one, a friend has and he told me it was like the s2000 but with Torque.

I think he was speaking in relative terms meaning it is high reving like an S2k.

Though 383 pound ft of torque is still good.
