2009 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 and 2009 Ferrari F430 Spider - Express Delivery
2009 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 and 2009 Ferrari F430 Spider - Italian Supercar Comparison - Automobile Magazine
Deliver a pizza in thirty minutes or less? Not a problem when you have both a 2009 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 and a 2009 Ferrari F430 Spider at your disposal.

I know what you're thinking: "Oh no, he didn't." Well, oh yes, I did. But not so you could giggle at the absurdity of a quarter-million-dollar Lamborghini with a lighted pizza delivery sign on its roof. Fact is, you've probably read pages of prose explaining how fast modern exotics are, but it's difficult to describe their performance in mere words. Every supercar passenger thinks he knows what to expect, but when pedal hits metal, it's always the same: first they're paralyzed with fear, and then they let loose with cursing and screaming. If our words can't prepare you for what it feels like to be slung to 60 mph in four seconds, we won't bother trying. Instead, we'll prove that you could actually drive one of these supercars every day, and you can do it with no oil slicks, no tow trucks on retainer, and no explosions of the cooling-system, the kinds of problems we traditionally associate with exotic-car ownership.
