Here is a vid on an airstrip of a lighter coupe vs an M6. Both run similar 1/4 times, but the M6's top end is surprisingly NASTY for a 3900lb car. 8300rpm's and a 5.0L V-10 will do that BTW-the boss at my company is my dad lol (family business)

I don't get why you guys would even put the words "practicality" and "lambo" in the same sentence. One doesn't usually consider practicality or likelihood of vandalization when purchasing a lambo, as it's not meant to be practical or subtle in any way. I would imagine most people who are buying these cars already have a number of other cars to fulfill those duties.

That being said, it's a beautiful car, but I'm a ferrari guy myself, and would still take a black F430 coupe over that any day of the week.

I am astonished. I guess the AWD really puts that thing at a disadvantage at high speeds.

I plan on keeping my Z since it is the my first and only brand new car I've ever purchashed. Next on my list is this Jag XKR below. I saw it on the freeway last week and since then I've been salivating over it. Its a pretty affordable car too, compared to other exotics!

This Z would hold up very well next any Lambo or Ferrari.

I have owned both, dont know how anyone could confuse a 350z for an exotic, seems like very uneducated people. As regards to the gallardo being a daily, its very civil to be honest and rides just like a gt3 or better. The Z was a fun car, but it looks no where near a lambo.

For all the lambo haters, its different strokes for different folks. Ferraris have their racing history, but are usually owned by people that will NEVER race or drive them hard. Lambo owners on the other hand, are a very select group and around here everyone has 10-60k on their lambos. Find a ferrari with 40k miles, VERY rare that they drive them.

I am not hating on the Z, but its just strange for you guys to compare it to a lambo. It is just apples and oranges really.

^ This is a Nissan forum. Of course people will try to paint the Z in the best light possible. Don't get me wrong, I love the Z, hence why I'm driving one, but not for a second would I put it in the same league as a lambo or other "true" exotic.
