Word from Lamborghini is that the Merc and Gall run basically the same times around any given track so its a matter of personal choice. I'd personally opt for the smaller, lighter, less expensive car with more Audi influence.
The real question is 360 or Gallardo... and that's a toughie. I love F cars, but Lambo has clearly raised the bar a notch. I do agree with the above comment about styling though... as rakish and powerful as the Gall is, I still prefer the beauty and grace of the 360.

All numbers from Lamborghini. The accel times for the Gallardo seem a bit "nerfed" to me...

if they could ditch the AWD and drop it under 3000lbs it surely would be impressive. For whatever reason i never think of Lambos as real sports cars, more like very fast works of art. I would love to see them design something with the track in mind.
