GA>Countach?  Didn't Lamborghini use to be the fastest?
Naw, the 959 would destroy a countach or testarossa. Lamborghini is
famous because of its exotic styling, and unmistakable V12
jet-engine-like howl. Ferrari is famous because they actually have a
strong racing history, and are known for building cars that cater to the
rich and exclusive crowd. When people are kids, they don't just want a
fast car.. they could soup up a mustang to go 0-60 in under 3 seconds
for less than half the price of a lamborghini, but they want the
lamborghini.. just because its a lamborghini, know what I mean.. the
whole thing about arriving in a car that cost five times as much as
their education. status symbol. all that.
