Would you trade a 997 Turbo for a 08 Gallardo SL?

Seems like I can get a pretty good deal on a used blk/blk SL. Have any of you driven both cars? Anything I should watch out for?

Can an administrator please relocate this thread to the lamborghini section? Sorry for the confusion.

It depends on what you use the car for. If the 997TT is your daily driver, I wouldn't recommend the SL unless your roads in Qatar is super smooth. The suspension is rather hard and visibility is okay unlike the visibility in a 997.

Other than that, go for it! Owning a SL is a unique experience, I'm sure you will enjoy it very much.

Very different car...
I have a TT and find it amazing as a daily driver
But I am guessing you have a land cruiser as a DD so go for it

Personally, I wouldn't go for "last year's model"...I simply can't drive a car when the new version is out...but that's just me...

GrayTT. LOL, I'm totally against owning a LandCruiser. I have an 09 Jeep SRT8 as my daily driver.
The TT is an amazing car, for all the above mentioned reasons, but I bought it prior to my jeep, so now I'm ready for something a bit more exciting.
