Damn rich girls... :rolleyes:
Anyways, Ferrari GTO alllllll the way...
7,400 rpms with chain driven flat camshafts, and carburators all with that timeless Ferrari sexy design means it wins hands down. This was a no contest one in my head.
It's faster, weighs EIGHT HUNDRED pounds less, and is a better performer. Only problem...rarity...39 built and at a recent Southbey's auction, one went for 9.1 MILLION US dollars.

I think I would take the Muira :eek:
I know the ferrari is more more raw, its faster and quicker, but thats why, because the 250GTO was based on the race car, and only built for homologation reasons I believe, but the Muira was designed to be the first 'supercar', it was made for the road, and for that, it wins my heart, it was not a race car for the road, it was a road car, for the race track :p you get the idea... :cool:

This is an unfair match up. The 250 GTO was basically a race car, while the Muira was a sports car. A better match would've been the '67 Ferrari 275 GTB versus the '66 Lamborghini Muira. Both were sports car for the road, and both were closer in model year. But if i had to choose, i'd go for the 250 GTO without a doubt. It's a race car.

I'll take the Miura. Timeless design, great performance, and one of the first true supercars. I always loved older lambos.

id take the Miura because it is one of my favorite cars. basically it is one of my fav because it has the best looks out of almost any car. i dont care if the 250GTO is faster, i can make the Miura lighter and faster if desired. but i would probly take the roadster version. depends, i would have to see them in person but i think the roadster looks better.

wasn't there only like, one roadster made? I like the hardtop better anyways. I'd actually take the Muira Jota if we're going for rare lamborghinis.

the Muira Jota is my fav Muira, I made a big post on it when i was new here, but there are a few Jota's running around Japan Europe and Australia, as orginal Muira's, converted to Jota spec in the 1970's by customers who originally had orders/planned orders for the Jota that was never made!

And FYI Ghalos, the most expensive GTO went for $17M
