Why don't you rent one out and try it out. To see which one chicks really dig.

I work for the company that came up with their marketing.

Lambo Diablo as long as Liz Hurley comes with it!! Enzo without!

I actually think more non car people would say Ferrari as quite a few of them probably dont know Lambos exist.

Lambos are rarer than Ferraris. There is a Ferrari dealership in Greenwich and I see new and old Ferraris, on the road around here every month or two. I have never seen a Lamborghini except in the Greenwich Concours.

if you don't want to be snooty, buy a 5-speed civic, rice it up, and drive it like you're proud :Q

I see a few ferrari's every week... I've seen ONE lambo EVER. It was gunmetal gray, going pretty slow on Hwy 26 in Colleyville. I was like, Dizzam... But I see Ferrari's there very often. One time a viper came over the double yellow line, oncoming at me, and did a power slide + burnout to turn around. I was like... wow. I get up to the light and it said Venom 650R on the side....

I'd totally take a lambo over a ferrari though. Yeah, ferrari's are classier and more conservative... but Lambo's just scream "look at me! Give me a ticket officer!"

Honestly though, for a car costing that much money, I'd go for a heavily modded Viper, like the Venom 800TT, or the SLI vipers... 850 ponies will make that wussy ferrari pony cryyyyy. It'd leave him sitting still.

Yeah, I've seen a few Ferrari's on the road, but only once a Lamborghini! In India no less! Of course, this was infront of one of their nicest hotels we were eating at, hehe. I was like "Daaaaayyyyyyyyuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmnnnnnnnnnn" Not really, but I was 10 or 11 and that has been my dream car since I was a little kid.... heck, I remember using a 28.8k and downloading tons and tons of Lamborghini video sthrough Compuserve overnight from lamborghini.com years ago. Those were the days... the Pentium 90mhz and WD 1GB drive and 4x 1MB sticks was like... WOW! At the time, not to mention the 28.8k... or maybe it was a 33.6k... don't remember, but whatever it was I got so many pics and videos. my dad burned them onto a CD and I treasure it. I hope to buy one some day...

definately Ferraris, Lambos are just wannabe Ferraris. Sure they are nice too but they just aren't a Ferrari.

btw just look at the racing history and your question is immediately answered.

Lambo over the 'average' Ferrari which are the one's most drive. Hell even the TT Porsches would be better than the average Ferrari's, but not as prestigious since they look just like the ones you can get at 1/3 the price.

The Enzo is sort of state of the art though.

Lamborghinis have only recently started getting 'driveable'...they now have much better fit and finish on the interiors and are more usable.

It really comes down to which specific models you are comparing.

A few years ago, I used to see a Countach parked at a local Laundromat every week or two. Pretty funny.

Maybe it was a replica... You won't believe how many companies are dedicated to making Lamborghini replicas...

It's like girls;
A ferrari is the girl you take home to your parents, while a lambo is the one you meet at a bar, go on a wild one night stand lasting 13 hours, and wake up wondering if that just really happened.

No Sh!t! You guys must be smoking some bad rock! Farrari more prestigious than a Lamborghini? Please.
You can talk all the racing background of Farrari all day long, but the REAL test is this. Put a Lamborghini Diablo or Murcielago 50 feet away from ANY Ferrari and see which draws the biggest crowd. I'll give you a hint, it will ALWAYS be the Lamborghini.

And just to clear things up, the F50 looks like total ass.

Farrari... WTF is that? But yes you have a point. Lamborghinis are for showoffs.

To be honest, I've been leaning towards the Lamborghini (come on, doors that open UP?!

What happens if you are parked in a lot and cars are close to both sides of your car - can you still get in your car? just asking...

Yeah... id be more worried about the height clearance. Lamborghini have those scissor doors... the McLaren F1 and Enzo have the gullwing doors... not quite like the 300SL or DeLorean though.
