Unusual comparison.......never the less, the 670SV wins by miles, and i have had both , still have the SV which i think says it all

I would love to hear more about your experience.

So, in a nutshell. If you want a track weapon packaged as a road car ,the Ferrari is immense, delivers everything . One of my favorite cars !
However if you want drama, something that sends a shiver up your spine when you start it , or just to look at the 670 SV takes some beating.
I have an original UK right hand drive car, rare as hens teeth , i have had it for 8 years , and still love every minute of what is ,and still is my "poster car".....seriously !

Thanks, that does make sense.

My big question about the Lambo is how disposed it is to driving on public roads. Say on the NC500 or in the Alps. It is a large car and I wonder if it just too large to be hustled along small roads in Scotland?

How does the gearboxes and power delivery compare?

Owned my Strad for a few years - sold along time ago for a 997 GT3RS. Drive a Stradale with Race mode off and you'll soon realise it's not that good. The CS is great if you want 99% pure theatre with the exhaust valves open but not so great if you want a competent driving machine. Nervous at the limit, oversteers and fairly dull without race mode on / exhaust valves open.

I'd probably take a 430 Scud instead of either.

had the opposite: moved from a perfect 997.1 GT3RS (rare white, i was 2nd owner in 2009) to a Stradale, and had so much more fun with it...so much i bought a second one even

different horses for different people: OP, go try them

Install Sports Cats, totally transforms the car in any mode.

I have an LP640 up in Scotland and have no problem with the size. Here are a couple of shots of me following a 458 Speciale up in the highlands and had no probably staying on its tail.
