2006 Z06 Vette Vs. 2005 Lamborghini Gallardo
I don't think people with Lamborginis, Ferrari's or any other exotic sports cars really know how to "drive" their cars. Since they mostly keep them in their garages and rarely drive them hard, they don't really know how to get the maximum potential out of them. I have personally beaten a Gallardo and I only have 330rwhp.

I do have to say that i'm concerned with how wrong I am on this one...I was guessing the Gallardo was a bit heavier and the Z06 was a bit lighter.
I do have to agree with AZ'sFastFD3S~! Guess it hasnt run into anything faster yet....

I'd take the Vette as a DD and drive the snot out of it. I'd keep the Gallardo in the garage except for nights that I want to go cruising for poon. I'd much prefer the Gallardo simply because it's more exotic and sounds sexier. I don't really care if it's slower than a car that costs half as much.
