Do yourself a favor and buy two FGT's for the same price of a $390K Lambo one to drive and the other to show.
The prices are climbing, just check with Elite who sold 10 in the last 30 days.
The Heritiges are $225K+, low milage black's are MSRP +10k. Red's are in the high 150's for drivers.
Performance wise these cars rule the mile events. The drive trains are bullet proof up to 1000rwhp and there are plenty of parts to customize to your taste.
People love this car and you get thumbs up every where you drive unlike some exotics (porsches) where they flip you off.
It was 81 today in SoCal and I took my FGT out and I look over and there a woman in an SL500 videoing my car with her Iphone!

Fgt for me.. It looks a lil sexier and is only going up in value.
DO YOU SEE MANY PEOPLE RUSHING OUT TO OWN A 05 MERCIE? Id rather have my viper than a 05 mercy. Let alone a fgt.
What about a 04 gallardo? You can get those for 80k easy now.
The aventador is amazeing but in 5 years it will just be the old lambo. Fgt will always be the fgt. And yes 7 years from now I wont be surprised at all if the fgt is worth more than the avetador..
For me it would be fgt. Thats basically a living legend at this point

FGT all day long. Its the only car I would consider trading my Aston for.
Half on it is my love for the heritage and the raw bada** nature of the FGT, the other half is how the prices seem to go the opposite direction of all other exotics

Ford GT can be bought in the 150-ish range and you are 2.5 times that for the Lambo. If $ is no object, it won't be kept for long and you want the latest, then the Aventador is the ticket. The FGT won't lose $ and will probably be worth more in 10 years than the Lambo...
Personally, I cant stomach paying for Italian cars and the additional expense of maintainance. I can certainly afford it but feel like the Italian dealerships legally rip you off.
Further, I never paid much attn to the GT but in recent years have come to really admire what Ford has done with this car and project it will continue to increase in value (one of very few cars) even though it was released just 15 yrs ago. I and I am sure, everyone would agree you will not see an increasing value in the Avertador.
The Aventador is my all time favorite Lambo but give all the variables I would have to side with the GT.
Just my opinion!

Unfortunately, not right now. I have been watching the market on GT's for the past year and discovered the value has increased about 20% overall. Where the average was approx 185K it is now about 210K. I guess not 20% but a notable increase.
