Earth, Wind & Fire??

Hi, just want to know your opinion on this issue, some of you know more about it and had or drove one of these three or maybe all three..

Here goes:

One of these three

1) Ferrari F430
2) Lambo Gallardo
3) Porsche (997) Turbo


Which has the best:

1) Looks
2) Sound (Exhaust, exclude the turbo i doubt any1 would pick it for sound lol)
3) Interior Quality
4) Exterior overall design
5) Driving sensation
6) Comfortability
7) Attention (Gets the most attention on the streets/parked)

This issue has been a pain in my head for a very very long time, most of the answers i get are useless or if i ask a guy with a f430 he'll say f430 for sure etc.

And if you were to choose one which would it be and why obviously (ONE AND ONLY ONE NOT 2 OR ALL THREE)

Looks I would go with the Ferrari
Sound I would have to go with the Ferrari and Lambo
Interior Quality would have ti be Ferrari and Porsche
Exterior overall design would have to be Porsche
Driving sensation would have to Porsche then Ferrari
Comfortability to me would be Porsche
Attention would have to be Ferrai, then Lambo then Porsche

Be sure to post on the Ferrari board and the Lambo board so you can hear what they have to say.

F-car FTW!! Absolutely no comparison. I've driven all three.

However, if you need one for a dd, in rain, slush, snow etc. P-car wins hands down.

If money was not an issue (purchase and depreciation and maintainance etc.) my pick would be a red F430

If you want a very fast car to keep for a while, drive it a lot and maybe tune it go for the 911

If you want something right in the middle go for the G.

Haven't driven an F430 as of yet but both the 997 and the Gallardo can't match the adrenaline rush I felt when I was driving a 360CS last year and I hear that the 430 is pretty close.

The Italians have an appeal that goes far beyond any measurable numbers. They are like the bipolar smoking hot ultra high maintenance GF's that are fun for a couple hours max at a time. The TT is more like the attractive GF that cooks, is actually nice and unselfish, and isn't afraid to get her hands dirty doing real work and getting sweaty.

1) Looks
Can't beat the Lambo for looks, just a stunning piece of kit


2) Sound (Exhaust, exclude the turbo i doubt any1 would pick it for sound lol)

A tie between the 06 and newer Gallardos and the Ferrari

3) Interior Quality
Porsche

4) Exterior overall design
Again Lambo

5) Driving sensation
Haven't heard a more praised car than the F430 in this category save the CGT

6) Comfortability
Porsche

7) Attention (Gets the most attention on the streets/parked)
Lambo with the F430 close 2nd

I would actually choose the 911 out of the 3 just because it can do everything so well, trackcar, practical, comfortable, the quality but above all, I could send it to RUF and they could convert it to my dreamcar!!

A D....I've been grappling with some of this question for a couple of weeks now.

F-car wins the questions above.

4) tied between Ferrari and Lambo, then porsche
5) can't comment
6) can't comment
7) lambo, ferrari, porsche

Overall - Ferrari, Lambo, Porsche
Now if you are modding the car and pocketbooks are deep it's be Porsche, Ferrari, Lambo.

If it's an everyday car, then the Porsche. Anything else, the Ferrari.
