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

Considering your location i would say Lambo Craig - nothing would give me a greater automotive thrill than driving one in the snow. If things go to plan i will have the horrible decision of looking to get a lambo / f car within the next 12-18 months and the Lambo will win because of weather conditions in London.
The Atom wouldn't even be pretty to look at whilst it's in the garage for the Canadian Winters...

All I know is what the owner told me. If the car is putting down 480 hp to the wheel then it is in the 550 hp range at the crank. My only point was that if my moderately modified Turbo (Stage II plus with stock internals and stock turbos) can run with a Murci then it can more than hold its own against a Gallardo. And just look at AAHT's Turbo lay waste to us both! His Turbo would take ANY Lambo of any ilk or modification.

If I was in the south it would be a little tougher. I have always thought a sports car should be something eclectic. I couldn't be bothered with a pre-560 lambo simply because of the hideous tail. I think they absolutely butchered it (and I tell my uncle who owns one every time we have dinner).
JMHO...

I agree with you regarding the appearance - if you look at my posts over the last few years (don't waste your time) i've always contested that the Gallardo is and always was very MEH.
The LP is such an improvement - I'm shocked how much more i like it when it's fundamentally the same shape! Even so, i don't think it would cost much to get an LP front and rear bumper to improve the looks (i know you may need to change more than that to get the complete look but that would be enough for me).

Thats the best thing, I'm all clean baby! For me, the ultimate luxury car would be a 997TT. Of course, If I could afford having more then one luxury car Lambo would be a safe bet but If it's my only killer-machine It would be a porsche. All day long.

This has turned into my Lambo is faster than your Pcar, no it isn't, yes it is. 
Both are fast enough for me, it'll come down to the driving experience, looks, sound, prestige, and personal opinions. I wish I could keep both.
I would get rid of the 997. I've been thinking about SC'ing it, but then I just think to upgrade instead of spending another 10k on it.
Look at it in Balloon White!
