Hmmm, the gallardo is one good looking car. V-10, AWD, and did i mention it looks great? But i think i'd have to go for the Z06. its half a second faster to 60 (not that you'd notice), same top speed and a $100 000 cheaper. You could buy yourself another Z06 and a nice sedan for the price of the gallardo. The Z06 gets my vote.

Z06, American pride, and will probably wreck it at the track. Not mention the AWD is heavy in the Gallardo. Z06 all the way, but in black.

This is one rare occassion where I'd pick an american car from a comparison - I choose the Z06! I just can't imagine how it would feel driving a car with a 7L engine... It also looks extremely wicked, I love it.

Z06 timing is alot better and its a better track car..althought top speed for the chevy hasnt been specified..only says 190+ and lambo is 192..but lets talk popularity..sure the Z06 will be known for its performance but its just not a lambo..but i think id rather roll down the street with a lambo and have everyones eyes on me.. Z06 as my track car and Gallardo as my show off car.

words cant describe how much i like the Z06. i could go on and on about why i like it, but i think thats pretty obvious. if it were my money we were talking about, it would be the Z06. but, if someone had these two cars and were giving one of them away, i would choose the Gallardo. its a Lamborghini, come on.
