Could anyone please comment on how the Lambo SL compares to the Ferrari 360 Stradale and the 430 F1?

out of those 3 I would take the lambo

 

the CS is very responsive...steering is very direct. brakes are sensitive at low speed (around town). the shifts are very fast, may be considered jerky compared with the new double clutch of the california but for me feels like a real race car which i enjoy...the ride is stiff but over bumps and railroad track and pothole surprisingly compliant...the seating position is low (for me at least, im only 5 ft 6in). the 430 is really comfortable...the winter setting lightens up the suspension noticeably, and the car will shift for you at low revs...the exhaust is also softer...once you put it in race, the exact opposite will occur....the 430 can def. be used as a daily driver in comparison to the CS...thats why i had to have both!....the SL on the otherhand was very dissappointing...was choosing between the SL and the CS...the SL egear is awful...and the brakes were very bad...i thought the CS ceramics were sensitive, the SL ceramics cannot be modulated at all in my opinion...and in general i think the CS is just a better looking car than the SL...

Agree 100%. You nailed everything about the CS. The SL is a failed attempt by Lambo in creating a CS version of a gallardo.

 

And that was a Scud not "just a 430" and less than a sec difference. Best way to decide is to drive them all. The SL e-gear is just fine. The ceramics are very touchy. I went with the steel ones for that reason. The interior in the SL is superior IMHO.

 

Completely agree. The SL was a complete dissapointment except for the noise. The car sounds quite fantastic but it is no comparison for the Ferrari's. The engineering of the Lamborghini simply isn't up to par with the Fcars. When I drove the SL I was happy to get out of it. When I drove the 430, I didn't want to get out of it but I prob wouldn't own it. When driving the CS I could only think of how to get one.

 

Being a passenger in a Stradale did it for me. On my way home after I picked up my Stradale all I kept saying to myself was why I hadn't gotten one sooner.
