Would you get a Lambo G or something else for $100k?

That's a generous offer, thanks Jenk. I think any of these cars will satisfy my need for speed. I'll take you up on that sometime when it gets warmer! Btw, is the BS a 6 speed manual?

In all honesty, a properly modified 997TT will kick the crap out of a stock Gallardo. I have never been pulled by one and have smoked countless Gallardos. In fact, I have kept pretty close to the LP640s on many of my high speed runs and at the track. Also, the 997TT has a bullet proof engine and gear box, repairs are less expensive and don't take three months, and service is reasonable as well.

You do lose that "WOW" factor with the Porsche. People are just too conditioned to seeing 911s everywhere and are not savy enough to know the difference between a standard Carrerra and a GT2. I love a car that gets attention. You won't get that as much with the Porsche. Also, the Lambo sounds GREAT! I don't think I have even heard a modified 997TT that sounds as good as a stock Gallardo.

I love Italian cars and have been tempted myself to get into a Gallardo now that prices have dropped so significantly. But the 997TT is a faster and more reliable option.

Just keep this in mind:



Just kidding with the pic. Doesn't sound like you can go wrong with any of the options you have cited. What an exciting dilemma!!
But a gallardo is much more reliable than a murcielago. Think of the Gallardo as porsche reliability in an italian package.

As for modability, if you want outright speed.. TT the Gallardo and lay waste to everything.

Mercedes making a manual? Disclaimer: I know they make a few models with manuals but i still find it funny.

Nah matey, it's F1 style.

Yes it is. Hey ATL, I think I found the car for you. Low miles and a great deal!
