nono, i mean the show did various tests.

test 1: quarter mile: Ferrari ran high 11s and Lambo ran 12.1 or sth like that
test 2: braking test at 200 km/h, lambo brake to a full stop in 100m while the f430 did it in 106 or sth~
test 3: drifting: tsuchiya (the drift king) commented that the Ferrari is marvelous but the Lambo had a more impressive drifting angle.

test 4 (the one i mentioned): race in a test track (all straight but 2 long corners) - the F430 won easily, someone plz clear that out!! especially the launch, the F430 had more than 5 car lengths by 200km/h...wtf was going on?

ps: i believe the BMI series of this is Vol 26

i know...i was like
then, they match the F430 up with the ClubSport Version of the 996 GT3, and GT3 pulled on the F430 all the freaking way for 2 laps, (they go around for 3-4 laps) until the speed gets to 250km/h+, the ferrari starts to pull on the GT3 and won...i guess the GT3's aerodynamics depend too heavy on the rear wing...
but i seriously do not understand whats going on with the gallardo/f430 race..

Its very easy. The car they used in that race is the C-One Auto press car. It is an early Gallardo, which has been horribly riced out. Starting with the inside, the interior has been completely changed, it has not one, but several Tv's, huge stereo, amps, speakers, fake nitrous bottle between the seats, etc etc. It is several hundred pounds heavier than a stock Gallardo.

Then it sports a prototype C-one exhaust, which on the dyno, lost power.

In a recent issue of Evo, the Gallardo SE kicked the crap out of the 430 also, along with the Vette Z06.

There was an article on the car in last months LA Auto style magazine. It is all in Japaneese. I dont have the magazine, but Ill see if i can get it. On my site, the car has been discussed before, along with a Gallardo owner in Japan, who said the C-One is the slowest Gallardo he has ever been in.

So if you are right...they suck making tests...how can you compare a riced G with 212160 Kgs more to a standard F430...
People is crazy sometimes

I'm no Schumacher so to me the difference "performance" wise is negligible between the lambo and a ferrari. I highly doubt a majority of people can drive either car at 10/10ths. Given a choice, I'd go with the lambo for sure. Its got the perfect combination of looks and performance IMO.

If I have to judge the cars in points from 0 to 10...I'd have:

Gallardo: 10
F430: 9.9

Inmo, The 430 is a fantastic driving automobile. where it fails for me is visually, and I hate most ferrari owners.
