I am planning to rent one of these cars in around 3 weeks time.

Both are convertible 2008 models with paddle shift gearboxes.

Deep down I think the Ferrari appeals to me more although the excitement of a LP640 is pretty hard to beat.

I booked the LP640 however I can change it, im still in two minds.

Any comments appreciated.

If i HAD to choose it would be the LP640 but I can see why it's a hard choice. Ideally driving both would be the most satisfying!

Out of interest, how much to rent one of these? And what sort of restrictions are on them etc.

Lamborghini for sure. There was a time when a Ferrari meant more of a status symbol than a Lambo but these days both manufacturers have amazing road presence in their vehicles so I say go for the one that's most aesthetically pleasing to you and the better performer.

damn, dont suppose u wanna share how much one of those is worth to rent?

I just had a bit of a gander at specs of the 2 ..is it just me or is supercars getting fatter? ie heavier? that ferrari is as heavy as a R33 gtst :).

Ferrari F430 = 1452.7 kg 490hp

Lambogini LP640 = 1665 kg 639hp

This definitely depends on whether you're a Ferrari person or a Lambo person. I've also loved Lambo's much more than Ferraris, so for me the choice is easily the LP640.

Which make do you prefer?

jst wanna ask a question cos i was thinkin of doing this a while ago; a ferrari 360 modena aint much to rent but the bond is 30,000dollars and the insurance excess is 10,000dollars

now that bond is for something, must read the fine print; e.g. the engine blows or clutch goes while you drive it, will they take that off ur bond????

i lost interest a while ago, wont ever rent a car - let alone an 800+k lambo; bond would be 50k maybe? excess maybe 15k?

Yeah we saw that insurance bond thing aswell, makes it very difficult to do in Aus. Best place to do it is Vegas, fairly cheap to rent for a few hours or a day, and the insurance is realistic, just a credit card with a few grand accessible. My mate done it there, drove a 360 and a gallardo i think it was.

to me the LP640 has a much more aggressive feel, look at that second pic, its like a fighter jet just waiting for you to jab the throttle and take off, i love ferrari's to, but the lambo just takes the cake

Ferrari if you want to be seen driving the car, Lambo if you want to drive the car

Which is ironic considering Ferraris are more of a driver's car than the "shouty" Lamborghini.

I'd get the Lambo. Relatively speaking Fazzas are a dime a dozen on the roads. Since you're not going to be driving either car at its limits (unless you're planning on tracking them) I'd get the shoutier car.

    • They are in fact just nozzles. They are there only to produce a spray pattern and limit flow. The injector itself is what I use to control flow to the 7x nozzles. My old system had no injector and only PWM the pump. This lead to a lot of inconsistencies, and poor atomization at low pressure when the pump was ramping up. 
    • With the system, once you drive it for a bit, and before you turn the car off, does the car fix its date and time? When you say the date is wrong, what date does the vehicle think it is, and does it always show the same date? My thoughts from a process driven view is; The system may be defaulting to a standard start date/time. The main reason you'd typically see this occuring, is the system is losing its constant/backup power supply.   If its always defaulting to the same date/time at start up, and especially if it fixes itself while driving, I'd say either the non volatile memory has an issue, or the power supply to the volatile memory that stores this information.   The other thing I'd check is if there is anywhere in the system you can adjust the date and time from. If the date/time is still moving forward since it wished you happy new year, then it is 100% possible the system has just had a bit of data corruption occur, and you likely need to find a way to reset the date/time in the vehicle.
