360cs!

 

Check out what the Lambo section is saying: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...d-you-buy.html

 

F430

 

I love stick shifts, but for some reason do not like them in Italians.

I'd get F430, then G-SL.
Do not like the Murci as much (too big, and LP640 is nicer but out of price range), and the 360CS is too hardcore and collectable for me to drive often.

If it's a weekend car and you'll track it sometimes, 360CS perhaps. It'll hold its value well and is a timeless beauty.

 

Stradale. I think it has better looks than the 430 and will in time be the only car that gains collectible status and increases in value.

 

I'd say go for the Stradale. It's better looking than the f430 and more of a raw sports car.

 

CS... The others may be newer and faster, but the CS is in a league of its own.

 

I'm biased, of course, because I have one. BUT, of your poll choices, the CS is the only one that can claim some ability to retain value. It's hard to know that the future will bring for it in these economic times, but the 430 and Murci will depreciate like stones. The Superleggera may hold value. But, the CS has already proven to hold value.

While I've driven the Superleggera and my CS back-to-back, while I'm very impressed with the Lambo, the truth is that it just felt too "boring". It's such a competent car with all the bells and whistles that it's somewhat of a snore to drive, and I walked away from it saying it was a great car but doesn't inspire me. The CS ALWAYS makes me smile.

this as stated many times comes down to what you want. what kind of car do you really want to drive. the cs's are dropping like all cars. they just have owners less in need or desire of letting them go than the 430's. the superleggera's aren't selling new right now for 30k under sticker. that should tell you something. murci's drop like a rock because the owners realize too late how bad they truly are to drive.

The cs is fun and extreme. don't expect your girlfriend to be too happy after 150 miles in that car.

The 430 gives the performance with refinement. Good value right now with the prices where they are.

The others are lambos enough said about those.

 

congrats CW for getting the mod position. when did u become one ?

u sure talk alot on 6speed

 

All this support for the CS, yet its still last in the poll. F430 still has the highest vote.

Retaining value and fun to drive are my 2 highest priority.

I still think the Lambo's have a more wow factor visually, however.

It takes a true enthusiast to appreciate the CS, otherwise, common folk, or even someone with a little car knowledge will look at it as a dated F360 or "old model", not knowing it cost the same as the fancier, newer Lambos.

 

Thanks. This past week. I do. I'll try and be more concise, when possible.

Don't worry about what other people think. You're the only one that has to enjoy the experience.

CS's should cost more than the Lambo's. They are better. I'm far from someone with a little car knowledge. I don't read articles. I drive them.

Your decision has to come after you drive them. If you want a raw car buy a CS. If you want a great car with more power and ability than the CS than buy the 430.

CS's are fun it would be my 2nd choide as I have pointed out. It's just not a car to put a long weekend in. you will know you've done it.

drive them both. then decide what you're doing with it. if you're driving it for coffee occassionally with some spirit the CS is the car. If you want to take the wife or girlfriend for a weekend up the coast or into the mountains think twice. She won't like it.

 

Depends, are you looking for a track weapon or for visual drama? What are you driving now? Now the Murci isn't the track tool that the CS is but it too will roll your socks up and down and make you smile. If your coming from a GT3 then the CS is probably your car. But if your coming from something a little more mundane, pick as I would....Murci....all day long!

Ok, also find a sugar mama to pay the maintenance....LOL
