Ok so of course the Lambo is faster lol! There's a track an hour away where you can lap in an AWD Lambo Gallardo or a Ferrari (360 I think). I picked the Lambo and though it is extremely powerful (acceleration comparable to the sport bikes I've ridden), and sure it grips...and sounds just ridiculously awesome and loud, damn that sound...so mean and addictive!

But when I got back in my 350Z after the track laps, I noticed 2 things. First, the Z felt so under powered lol! (half the HP of the lambo), but it felt so much lighter...actually preferred the Z's handling. I have Nokian Zline tires and the Z has quite some grip. And if you consider $/fun ratio the Z is really hard to beat!

That said, if you can try a supercar around a track, it's well worth it. I had more fun then I did skydiving, and price was about the same. Just still really surprised that I would prefer the Z's handling over the Lambo....(I think weight of both cars is roughly the same...possibly just due to suspensions and rear wheel drive vs AWD...still impressive for a 15 000$ car

Cheers!

You're standing on thin ice with a fire pit underneath with that title, and certain parts of your comments.

I know

I kind of understand this journalist enjoying the 350Z (I think she came once or twice) after having ridden probably most of the super cars out there, just shows how the Z really is a fun car.

Really not trying to say the 350Z is a better car the the Gallardo, the Gallardo is an insane car and there's a reason it's worth 6-7 times as much...just that other then the power and sound, for the rest I honestly prefer the Z

Why did you pick a VW over a Ferrari?

Also, Nokian tires are garbage. I got them for my B13 since they cost nothing, but would never put them on my Z

Nokian tires, never of heard of them , I doubt they are grippy.

the_baitzboy

with a thread title like that,....yeah I'm DEF here for the comments and reactions.

They are a very cheap brand. They are alright for my B13 since I didn't want to spend alot on tires for a $700 car. I believe they only make winter and all season tires. Regardless of the fact, these should not be on a Z. I doubt they have good speed ratings either.

You mean it wasn't this?



Or this? You mean they wouldn't trust inexperienced dream car renters drive REAL supercars?

SQuaLZ

Gallardo yes, but a 360 a meh car? I'm not sure about that.

Either way I am assuming it was a F430 because I got to pick between a F430 or Gallardo when I did a similar event in NJ

I only mean meh as it wouldn't be my choice of a Lamborghini or Ferrari. F430 or f458 would be sweet.

nokian huh?!? Nice

Speedo007

Lol Cheap brand....wow what people won't say...

Nokian have year after year won the winter tire comparisons (Hakkapeliitta) and they are made in Finland, not China or Korea.

Yes they do make four season tires, but the Zline are summer tires and in Canada cost me 1300$ for the set, so I wouldn't say they're cheap tires either.

Surprisingly, it's getting great reviews for such crappy tires

Speedo007

Was a 360 Modena they also have a F430 sometimes. I picked the Lambo cause it had 150HP more and wanted to experience the power (I'm used to 150HP+ bikes that have insane weight to HP ratio). But next time I'll go I'll try the Ferrari. Cool experience either way.

What if you add a parachute to the Lambo, and give the Z a car length?

Speedo007

We just need to fit a second Z engine in the trunk and leave the Lambo in the dust
