In person the orange Murci wreaks of class and power. The stock exhaust system is too quiet on the Murci. Doug Levins removed his and made his own system. It was early Saturday morning, I just wake up & I hear this incredible car revving. I run into the garage and had not heard Dougs car yet with the new exhaust. There he is a 8AM revving the shit out of this car with a smile from ear to ear. Incredible difference with the new exhaust. If that was my car the first thing you need to do is a radio delete. No need to ever hear any other music then the exhaust notes.

Racing a Honda is like racing in the Special Olympics, even if you win you're still retarded.
Murci no doubt. I had the pleasure of meeting up with some car guys while I was in Scottsdale AZ a few weeks ago and I got to see some 430s and an LP640 in person and people weren't paying too much attention to the 430. It's a nicer car than the 360 but i'm just not a huge fan. Now if you were choosing between the gallardo and the 430, that would be a much more difficult decision
Boy that's a tough one, and I am going through the same thing except the lower models of the gallardo and the 360. But between the two above, I'd say the Murci. It's a PIG, but a nice car. Strange thing like the viper...when you SEE a lambo, even if you've never seen one, you just kinda know you're looking at a LAMBO. A ferarri, albeit impressive and something I'm considering heavily as well, you don't "know" always. it doesn't punch you in the face as much. So, I guess you have to ask yourself if you wanna punch someone in the face (which is a hell of a lot of fun eh?) or slap them on the back of the head (equally fun in the right settin). Damn, I'd hate to make that decision.
I'm going for the LAMBO. Nice choice in cars btw.

I know I am in the minority here--- but F430--- probably one of the best driving cars EVER made. Lightweight, fast (faster than a murcielago up to 140-150), agile, and built a crap ton better too. Not to mention that most Ferrari's age much better than Lamborghinis. In 10 years a 430 will still look good and classy, a Murcielago will look dated, just like the Diablo does vs. a 355. The only Lambo I would consider is the Gallardo. Audi made a much better car in the Gallardo than the Murcielago.
My money is on the murci aging better than the gallardo though.
MOST--- there are a few Ferrari's that I am sure they wish they never made. Considering Ferrari has made 50x as many models as Lambo, they are batting pretty well.

LOL, I know, I just had to throw that wrench. Ferrari has made some stinkers though. Lamborghini has been more into making angular cars since the countach. When they come out, the design is often striking but if you were to pick out the most beautiful cars of all time, very nearly without exception that all share curves against straight lines. A curve against a curve looks bloated and fat while a straight lines against a straight line looks rigid and unorganic. A curve backed by a straight line is visually more appealing and suggests muscle. The Murci actually incorperated some curves to play against the angular theme. Between that and the proportions, I think that it might actually have some years in it's design. The 430 really looks bloated to me. The rear fenders just look porky rather than muscular as it seems to play a curve against a curve. The gallardo is very angular and will have a very short shelf life. It looks cool now but people are not going to like the look in 10 or 20 years.
