Redline I always appreciate the passion shown by every driver. Without a question the Lambo's always take the cake for looking more exotic. I think of the Ferrari's as sex on wheels. They are just stunning to me all around.
I have to ask why you got rid of the Murci if you loved it so? Did you get a newer? I like your review of the car. It does drive heavy, wide, low and is very difficult to maneuver even in tight twisties. I like agility in a car and add the AWD into the mix and I felt handcuffed every time I drove a Lambo.

Hate is a strong word. Dislike a lot would be more like it. My dislike is all about the handling of the cars. Everyone once in a while I see a white murci roadster and think that looks pretty good.

That being said the only Lambo I will ever own unless they change their driving habits in a large way will be a Miura

Wyatt I figure 3k per car a year and when I don't spend it I feel money ahead for next year. These cars aren't cheap to repair and play with and you need to know this prior to jumping into one.

While I agree that 99.999% of these cars don't get driven to their full potential on the road and most won't on a track. I will say you just need to read Roberts post and decide whether the passion evoked by a car that dazzles you in the looks department will be worth the headaches. When you spend a chunk of change on a car I fully agree you need to get what floats your boat but if you own a vehicle that every time you go out you "worry" about how and where you are going to park it. Deal with nasty visibility and cumbersome handling except in a straight line you will slowly and surely stop taking the car out of the garage.

So how did the 1:47 do against everyone else?

 

^^ Shouldn't you be getting ready for church??

 

I'm watching the Huskies beat UNC right now thank you!

Church I'll go in sweats and a t-shirt if this badboy goes into OT.

 

Murci might be more rare and get more attention but lets be real. Except for a very few of the world's neighborhoods, the 430 will get plenty of attention. I wouldn't want more than it has to offer in that regard. Attention is fun for a week (from strangers in other cars, ex). There will be plenty of enthusiasts who you actually enjoy chatting with (gas station) in either.
I don't know which is cheaper to maintain. Probably a wash.
F-car will be easier to sell down the road.

The murcielago's "top" is really annoying. It takes you about 20 minutes to put it back on (that, is if your good at it!). I'll have to say, the murcielago is much better looking than the F430. Have an LP640 and had an F430 spider a while back, ride wise, LP640 is more once a week comparing it to the daily drive the F430 offers. Its your choice, but in my opinion i'd chose the F430 spider over the murcielago roadster.
good luck with the purschase!
