F430, torquey v8, expensive to maintain compared to the other 2
I will mention this to my friend. He was leaning towards the F430 and kept saying they were pretty reliable.

Can you elaborate more thank you

Awsome cars! Wish I had any of them. But if I had the money... I would want to get the Lambo. I like the way it looks the best. Then the Audi, and last the F430. Not to say the F430 is bad, as it is my favorite Ferrari. Just my thoughts...

Tell your friend Good Luck! I hope he has fun dropping over 100 grand on a car!

430's as a modern ferrari are better designed as to service, yet not designed to be easy to service so maintainence is expensive. Also every mile you put on one is a huge drop in price. Also apparently the engines are not well built and I forget which item, but there is a major problem with the engine blocks that a friend who was looking at getting one found through his research.

Gallardo's have lost a lot of value as of late and I believe the current prices are pretty good. Even the lp560 at times can be found for 180k. They are solid cars.



Tan, that g looks SICK!

430, because it's the only one with the prancing horse logo :)

For the price of any of these I could have a few seasons of driving a race car. Why blow it on something that isn't as fast around a track?

F430, BTW.

F430

Reasons:

-Its a FERRARI!
-It is the culmination of 60+ years of racing pedigree.
-Its RWD
-I think it sounds the best (subjective), most like an F1 car, mostly due to the superior
-Gearbox
-Probably best resale value.
-Its a FERRARI!

Gallardo. Well built, v10 awd.

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.

Listen to this man. He's driven them.

Personally, I'd want to drive the Ferrari more than the other two, but only if I could afford to put 15-20k miles a year on it. And I know I can't. If I had way too much money, I'd pick it.

So I'd probably go with the Lamborghini, as the Audi R8 just doesn't strike me as an exotic like the Italians. Better than an expensive AMG, but similarly, it just doesn't have the same passion...

The Raging Bull.

Brownergy 06-29-2009 03:07 PM

F430. It's the passion and fun behind the wheel that seperates it from the Lambo. Buy a real car, not an image.
