Ferrari 599 vs Murcielago Lp640

[henk4]

I hate stupid details like that, the engine sits in front of the passengers.. which is what I took into account.

Oh, and you may want to have Wout edit the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano in the Database then, it's listed as Front-Engined.

so when the engine is behind the passengers it is rear engined...

Ugh, I can never win with you.

Sometimes. You might want to add something about "infront of the rear axle" to that, just for clarity.

but there are also engines placed before the front axle....so we have at least four different positions

how about we have these four groups

Audi

49.99% of the car producers

the other 49.99% of car producers

porsche


two middle groups equal for simplicity (actual results may vary)

[Mr.Tiv]

I'd say we've gotten a little off topic here. Maybe we should stick to the thread.

Audi

not only, and it is not a Ctiroen...

Actually, I think that the 599 and the Murcie are pretty even. The Murcie is better in some departments but overall, they are both excellent preformers.

Man this hard, under normal circumstances I would've of choosen the 599 but I've decided to choose the LP640 due to the extra "WOW" factor..

They said apart from the 4WD helping the Lambo off the line, the Ferrari "takes big chunks out of the Lambos lead as speed increases". Also, they said the Ferrari feels stable at top speed, whereas the Lambo was a handful, with a lack of stability at the back.

Only reason ive put this in, as it clearly seems the original comparison was performance based, so hope this info will help give a better judgement.....

Id take the lambo without thinking about anything.

LP 640 please. Although I would never take it over 120 mph because I dont want anything flying off of the car that would cause me to die.

[derekthetree]

that's a porsche with the seat, lights, steering wheel and roll cage mounted back to front

but seriously, were they trying to put it as far forward as possible
