Ferrari has a huge racing history. Very successful and dominate in every venue at some point. It is hard to talk about racing without thinking Ferrari and it's almost impossible to talk about Ferrari without thinking about racing. That is the biggest reason Ferrari is so collectable. They do have their entry level cars that are fairly inexspensive to buy (but can be costly to maintain) like the 308 and 328. These cars, like the Dino, will probably reach the "I don't believe it" prices in the future but they are not bad now.

Lamborghini has never had a real serious racing program, no racing champions or famous drivers. It's a fairly young company (1962-1963) with a history of financial troubles (although it appears stable at this time). It does, however, have the Miura which was the car that inspired the coining of "Super Car" and the Countach which gave us the first true "Super Exotic". The relatively small production volumes almost guaranteed that one would never forget the day one saw a Lamborghini for the first time (Mine was at McDonalds at the the U.S. 71 and Ohio 13 exit).

Hope this helps.

Ferrari's are objects that have four wheels.
Lamborghini's are cars.
We love 'em.

Frank Sinatra pretty summed it up best when he said:

"You buy a Ferrari when you want to be somebody. You buy a Lamborghini when you are somebody." - Frank Sinatra

Lamborghini are made for the road and Ferraris are built for the track! Lamborghini turns me into a little boy even when I think about them, and thats why they are so lovable!

If you want to be a bad boy you buy a lambo. if you want history, an engine sound that is divine, a better built and more reliable car you buy a ferrari. ferrari is the first name people think of when you mention the word ''supercar''. I own a ferrari now but i want to be a bad boy, i'm considering the lambo. before i get murdered by the lambo boys on here i want to clarify the fact that this is just my personal opinion.

Wanna bet?

Backing a Countach is relatively easy.

You can either use the mirrors, or do as Valentino did, just sit your butt on the door sill and operate the pedals from that position.
It is not only easy, it gives you a perfect "overview" of the area behind you.

Besides, when the crowds gather to watch you move the car,( and trust me they do), it just adds to the mystique of Countach to reverse your car using this method.
