Default The Beasts

After a couple of months of ownership with the TTS, I finally got the chance to park the two beasts outside and compare. What really surprised me is how much bigger the TTS looks and yet it probably outperforms the Lambo which is probably due to the tune The TTS is really a precision instrument with decent sound (fabspeed intake and exhaust) but there is no question that the Lambo is more visceral and the sound of the V10 is to die for. Both very different but both fantastic cars to drive. Both cars where purchased from the local Lambo dealer.

I actually started by going to Ferrari to get my name on the 488 waitlist but they insisted that i need to buy a used 458 to become part of the "family" so i get priority on the waitlist. That kind of pissed me off....so my son told me we should check Lambo....they were so much more down to earth and sold me a car right there. Now we are all good friends at Lambo and they give me great loaner cars....mclaren, bently and rolls Royce....my plan now is to buy all my cars from them. to me relationships are everything....

Beautiful cars. Having never driven a Lamborghini, is it safe to assume the 911 is more comfortable? Does one feel more “sporty” than the other?

I'd say Ferraris overall are more refined and user friendly.

Lamborghinis look/sounds better. I have an Aventador S Roadster and I prefer it over my previous 488 (sold) for occasional driving. As a daily, the 488 is actually doable. But nothing beats that v12 sound and the appeal/street presence of the Lambo.

The 911 TT is the balance and the best super car for daily driving IMO.

I agree on your last statement...However, the Huracan is surprisingly so as well and is quite nice on the street.... but the TTS is no question the winner for all around best Super car....its practical, fast, refined, great rearward visibility and also a bit more anonymous...having people staring, taking pictures and always talking to you at fillups may be fun at first but gets old pretty fast.

I agree....not ready to decide either at least for a couple of years. btw...how much is your TTS lowered? Both cars look great.

I believe its about 1 3/4 inches lower.

I like the look...however it is a PIA at times
