glad you were able to laugh. Thanks for catching my humor.

But in SoCal, yeah. That to me seems to be the way it is. At Cars and Coffee on Saturday mornings, all the Lambo guys get together to wipe their cars with diapers. Absolutely, some ferrari guys are like this too. But if you want to be seen, but don't really know cars, then you buy a Lamborgini here in SoCal.

To me, while a car can be beautiful, it is first and foremost a tool. (I race cars, so I am biased) The extra electronics, awd, dummy systems take the control and experience away from the driver IMO. Ultimately what is "faster" by the specs really only matters if you are going to put the car on the track wheel to wheel. I know I'll loose most of you here, but a stock mazda miata is one of the most fun cars to drive on the track. very engaging. you feel like you are going fast and you can really toss them around, and they reward good drivers. but they aren't near as fast as other things out there.

fun and fastest aren't the same thing in my book.

I am moving to TX in the next couple weeks. Hopefully the crowd that owns G's will be a little different. I'd like to consider one I think. but I'm not willing to do so here in socal...

I have a 360 and have ridden in a Gallardo. The 360 is a very "raw" car, you feel the ripples in the pavement, very fast, high revving and powerful but not a high torque motor. The car handles like it is on rails with very little steering input required to move it around a track. The Gallardo is more comfortable, with more torque, hp and convenience features. The 360 is more sporty to me and the Gallardo is more luxurious and comfortable. Just my opinion.
I agree 100%

Not only an opinion but a good review by UnderPSI.

However I feel that the Ferrari engenders a more loving buyer as the car has such a fabulous history to which an owner wants that connection.

I don't care that the torgue may be lower than other cars. I love it for what it is. I did not buy a brute HP Viper, Z06, or a Cobra. I chose to buy the 360 due to prior Ferrari experiences and for its refinements and classiness.

The Gallardo is nice but for me the Ferrari is fantastic.

One should buy what he likes, and I, as Under PSI stated, believe those who have experienced neither of the subject vehicles have insufficient standing to be so emphatic about another's vehicle choice.
