Default Lamborghini Gallardo or Ford GT

Ok I know its a Ford but they both have 500bhp, and they are both great performers! The GT has loads of history behind it and I think it makes for a great competitor...not to mention that it looks incredible!

I have to disagree with all of you, though the Gallardo is a bitchin car, the Ford GT is currently my favorite supercar. It's such a classic race car, where the Gallardo is futuristic and Italian. But the Ford GT still gets my vote!

Lacks originality? Its whole design could be considered original (for the time it is in). The Gallardo isn't original it looks like a baby Murc.

First of all, the technology is different, its upgraded by about 50 years. Second, its bigger and more power. Third, 500hp so what if its a truck engine? The engine in the Viper and the Countach could be called truck engines to... but you don't hear anyone complain about it.

Ford GT, cuz when if it breaks, i can swap out F-150 Parts, if the Gallardo breaks, you are fucked.

BLAH!!! Good point. You can service a Ford at a Ford dealership. Oldsnail, are you one of those foreign-car-only tools?

I'd take the Ford GT. 1.) The GT looks like the GT40 Lemans winner.
(how's it possible to rip off your own design? it's not) 2.) That Ford "truck engine" has a wider (better) power band than the nonsupercharged V10 Gallardo. 3.) I'm assuming it would be easier to pick up more (american) chicks with a "down-to-earth Ford badge" than a "high falloot'n euro fancy smancy stuck up lambo badge."

I pick the Ford GT as it has a rich history and looks almost identical to the Ford GT40

for all those "eww american? obviously gallardo!" ppl, im usually w/ you but... even though the gt40 has a truck engine in it (its an AMERICAN car duhh) its a freakin bullet. it will embarass the gallardo on the track. and the price... whoaaa the price, its a bargain for the price. hehe but being honest the gt40 is in a totally completely different league. too bad the only car in that league is itself. the league above (cgt, enzo pagane, etc) is too much for the gt40. and the league bellow is too slow. so the gallardo's "audi-ness" and the gt40's "truck-ness" equal out (in my eyes) and the only thing left is bang for buck and performance, so the winner is GT40
