the lambo would kill it at a track. the 550 maranello is a road car, not a race car. in the bestmotoring video that i have where it shows the F355 and the 550 vs. the jdm super sports at the Suzuka track. the 550 did pretty bad. the R34 GT-R was more then a match for it. and the GT-R was suffering a great deal casue it was sooo hot that day and the turbo wasn't workin on its full potential and they 550 was behind the first half and couldn't shake the GT-R lose on the second half.

Sorry, but you can't beat the Prancing Pony. The Maranello has been kicking everybody's ass since it came out.

the 6.0 beats it by almost a full second to 60mph and tops out 10-15mph higher. It also has better handling, better brakes....everything. Personally, I would take either

As if it mattered, but look at the price tag. And Ferraris have fewer problems

Huh?
Anyways, i think why the lambo has problems is because like people said before its a race car, and is ment to be pushed. Its purpose was not to driven around town at 60kph in second gear, or even at 120kph in third....it was made to go up to 200+kph on a regular basis.... its just not healthy (and its cruel) for a car like that to just be driven around like its a normal car.

But the 550 on the other hand is a built to be a gentlemens GT...a cruiser that can be driven as a daily driver. Its not a race car. Its much more practical then the Lambo. its a 2 + 2 layout, with a trunk. Think of it as a more expensive, and more driver orientated CL600.....
