jay_NW Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Not driven a Gallardo so can’t comment on that one. Had the f430 for over 4 months and love it every time I take it out for a drive. It’s special feeling even when you cruise doing 30mph. They handle very good and sounds awesome. Have it decated and put a tubi exhaust system and it will sound like WOT even at low revs It’s a fast car but not that fast if you compare to a single turbo Supra. I did 2 runs last weekend at Supra Pod and both around mid 12s. Not sure if you can get a good one for 70K though. Decent ones are going for 80K mark I think. Mine is a spider with F1 gearbox kit and just over 100K. How about 996 GT2? Good ones are going for around 45-50K mark and are starting to go up due to limited numbers. Only 125 of them were made and lots been written off If you are near London let me know I can take you out for a spin in both. Couple of pics for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are near London let me know I can take you out for a spin in both Thanks for the offer Jay.. I am glad everybody is leaning more to the F430 side because that is my favourite also..!

Brazil Posted August 19, 2011 Author Share Posted August 19, 2011 The Gallardo although pretty and very dramatic outside feels very very Audi inside. Personally I don't find the Gallardo as exotic looking as the F430 at all, the Murcielago in another hand is..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest George89 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I have driven both the gallardo and f430 on track and road. Without thinking twice i would pick the f430, The Gallardo doesn't have that response or the feel of the ferrari. Its hard to explain what i mean but if you drive them both you will see. Also the f430 will hold its value better. I will be driving the 458 italia next week tuesday so can't wait to see what that one is like.

supra joe Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Or you could just wait untill jamie p pops up and buys a gallardo with an underground twinn turbo kit, with the spare change found down the back of his sofa lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilicos Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 People are mentioning the R8 being a better buy. I thought that the R8 V10 and the Gallardo shared the same engine? P.S. Ferrari for a real car and the Lambo for attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brazil Posted August 20, 2011 Author Share Posted August 20, 2011 Wow it looks very nice in white, though I prefer it in red. Strange though because I can't think of any other car I like it in red...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 458 are so beautiful and the sound OMG, it's insane! I had one race past the front of my house about 5 times a month ago which at first I was certain that it was a motorbike. That was the day I first started to considering a F430..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheefa Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Surely if you get the F430, you'll be feeling like crap when you see a 458 roll by? Ha. Too right. Didn't Clarkson say the same thing. To be fair when he reviewed the F430 it did say it was truly a masterpiece and quite possibly the best drive of his life. "I'm struggling to think of ANYTHING wrong with this thing". Enough said.

imi Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 dont think the california is a good looking car, dont like the way the front bonnet meets the headlights and the same for the rear lights too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
