Can a Super Car tow like a Truck?

This has been something that has boggled my mind for a little while, and the numbers just would seem to point to yes... of course it could, yet something just doesn't seem right here.

Two cars for instance:
2010 Dodge 3500
5.7-liter Hemi V8 383 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque
18,000lb towing capacity

2010 Lamborghini Gallardo
5.2 liters V10 560 horsepower and 398 pound-feet of torque
??? towing capacity

Both cars right around 400 torque, and both 4x4

provided the traction was there, could you theoretically tow similar loads with the super-car as you could with the truck??? and what problems would you run into and why.

I've never seen this question asked, and no one that owns a Lamborghini will likely let me test this for myself.

Please, no short answers
 
Of course not. A Lambo doesn't have the structural strength for towing. The Lambo also doesn't make much low end power. Long story short its just to break something before it moved a trailer weighing more than the car itself.
