2001? for £99k

http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/f...

This dude should move the car into the 360 section, some sucker could end up paying £99K for a car actually worth £50K of anyone else's money

[GRBF430F1]

Straightline speed Lambo
Refinement Lambo
Pose value Lambo
Handling Strad
Braking Strad
Noise Strad
Looks subjective, but Strad far more aggressive
Future value Strad
Comfort Strad (G seats are horrendous, back ache city)
Driving position/vision Strad
Lower Servicing costs Strad
Desirabilty/rarity Strad

Maybe against a standard 2004 Gallardo but they are now £60 k versus £160k for a CS.

Against a cheaper LP570-4 the result is massively difference

Collectability Strad

Don't get me wrong CS is a great car but is it better or worth more than a LP570-4 = NO IMHO

Handling brakes and noise Lambo?? What are you on? Take it to any track in the country and my Strad will destroy it, I mean really obliterate it, Lambo isn't in the same ball park as a track car, your delusional.

I thought I'd proved you wrong on that.......my old 06 lambo would and did spank your old sheite box strad.

No need to be rude.
You obviously haven't driven a LP570-4 then. I think the 4 WD in real world A and B road driving is far better and allows you to extract far more from the 570 stallions near the limit. How many ponies does the CS have ?
I'm not really interested in track driving.
Also the Carbon ceramics on my Lambo are far superior to the ones I had on the F430.
With regards to noise I doubt the LP570-4 would be allowed near most tracks its so darn loud. Best sounding blip downchanges ever no possible argument they are just unreal.
The stock system on the LP puts my Capristo to shame on my F355 and that's bl00dy awesome

Oh dear and it was just a little olde 06 model dealt the CS a spanking.
Must of been one hell of a driver in the Lambo and a novice in the Strad then

I have a Stradale, and a racing licence, any hairdresser lambos want to know who's quickest, lets book a track day and find out?

Ditto, but thats never going to happen bud, Lambos are, and always have been all show and no-go I'm afraid. Wings, vents, big horsepower and noise seem to keep the owners happy though?

Tell you what Steve, lets book a trackday with GBR430 and the SuperLambo, all three of us chuck £1000 in a pot and the slowest loses his money to the other two. Theres a challenge for you

At first glance I thought that was Scott's car but the gearstick gave it away. The car I had in mind is a Modena that is a 100% faithful reproduction of a CS - only the chassis number would give it away. Scott's car might be worth £100k but that six speed is never going to fetch that sort of money.

Remove one zero and I'm in... best lap time on the day, must be completely standard car. Given my CS gets black flagged for noise at most tracks we need to work out where, and of course we're not racing, just reviewing our lap times at the end of the day.. I'll bring my completely stock Nissan GTR too, and beat all the times for a bonus...

Betcha GBR430 doesnt take us up on the offer, even though his Lambo is clearly (in his own mind) the superior car.

As I've said before I'm not interested in track days but I will race you over the Stelvio pass. In fact as that would be no contest I will let my hairdresser take the wheel, I'm sure even she would be too quick for you race pro's

Round the TG track the 560-4 was 3 seconds quicker than the CS, the 570-4 would be faster still, no ?

Oh dear. Is there a willy waving emoticon? All other things being equal, a CS wouldn't stand a chance against an LP 570. It's as quick as a 458, and anyone that thinks a CS is that quick, is delusional.... or has a very big willy
