I really don't think that Ferrari will put a v10 in they're car. Theres really no reason for it. Sure the lambo has a v10. Sure its in competition for market share. But really, as a few have already mentioned, they are not in the same class. They are totaly different cars.
A 360 Modena is a very high end sports car. But at the same time, i think Ferrari designed this one to be a daily driver for those that can afford it. Its very reliable. Very responsive. And very drivable.
What makes in so driveable isn't just because of the v8, but thats not hurting it any. Putting a v8 in they're car gives it better gas millage and makes it more costworthy to drive.
They Gallardo, however has a much larger engine and makes it less appealing as a daily driver. Plus its made by Lambo. Not really the best example of daily driver material.
Even though the 2 are in the same price range. I still believe that Ferrari will have the top seller due to that point.

correct me if im wrong.
