My Pleasure to share. Each one has their own unique personality & strong points. It is this unique difference which has driven me (no pun intended) to own one of each.
They are all World Class Performers. I have owned 2 dozen Turbos, of course this is the Best one by Far!
I have owned many Ferrari's, none comparable to the F430.
And lastly, I have even had my share of Lambos, choosing the SE-G 6-Speed over everything they make including the new LP-640. It is that good; a daily driver that is Fast, Reliable, & doesn't creak & squeak.
The Turbo has the most mileage with 2075 & is literally a bullet. Torque is off the charts, it breaks all 4 wheels off the line, 1st to 2nd, & 2nd to 3rd.
The Lambo & Ferrari Don't
Anyway enjoy your Ride safely!

All my Mods will be Cosmetic only. I may Chip the Turbo if & when it becomes available, but it doesn't need it.
New iForged Rims & Tires for the F430 sporting Pirelli 255/30/19 front and 355/25/19 rear tires. I already put every Carbon piece on it.
Gallardo is pretty much Perfect Stock, I'll leave that one alone

I wonder if anyone else on 6speedonline has all three like me?
Anyone??

I had the relatively rare oppurtunity to drive a 6-speed manual Gallardo back in '04 when they were still new. While this was the 493 hp car and purportedly weaker than the '06 versions, its acceleration was just comparable to my stock 996TT. Low-end torque was somewhat weak but power came on better in the mid- and higher reaches to roughly match the TT. Either Lambo's AWD drivetrains aren't anywhere as efficient as Porsche's or their powertrains were somewhat over-rated relative to the TT. So masterlu's take on the relative accelerative capabilities of the three seems to be inline with my limited experience with these cars. As for R&T's baseless test numbers, read my post on this thread: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ad.php?t=56412

Makes me wonder all the more. I do not personally think that there is any car in the world that can match the efficiency of the AWD systems that Porsche uses. its obvious that lambos do not do the trick and that Porsche's do.
The TT is def the fastest in straight line acceleration, at a track those results have been varied as well too, so it depends on the driver. I think the TT in real world acceleration def takes the cake, and prob a lot more. The G is nice, but seems unefficient, the 430, just seems to prissy. I want a car I can drive and that just wants to be pushed harder and harder to the limits. You get that with the TT, and with the G. That is apparent from everything I have read.
