The stats mean nothing. A 360 Spider and Gallardo are similar on paper, I drove both and they were like chalk and cheese. The Ferrari was a real dog to drive, if I ordered one after a passenger lap I'd be fuming. The Gallardo however was an absolute joy to drive. The 'on paper' stats don't mention any of this, which is why I'd never buy a car without driving it first. Anyone who buys this car without first driving it is buying it to make a statement more than anything else.
