Allan, I'm more curious to hear how you like the 997 TT overall. You're comparing it to your beast of a Lamborghini which has double the Porsches horsepower. (I use to have a stock WRX and my buddy had a stage 3 STI and it was night and day between the two. My car felt like a baby after driving his car, but if I drove my WRX for the first time I would think it was a rocket ship). For me I drove a 996 TT X-50 a few years ago and I still lay in bed at night thinking about it. How would the 997 TT feel if you came from a stock Gallardo or if the Porsche was your first high end car?

I previously had a six speed 2006 Gallardo SE, and a 2001 996 TT with around 575awhp 6 speed. At that point both cars (along with an SLR) where all toys.. I will say the Porsche easily saw the least useage, even though it was quicker than the Gallardo, I liked the Gallardo much more...
I think it depends on the person, and the use.. Many people have a 911 as an only car, I would never want to do that in a Gallardo. not because its not reliable, or as driveable, but because I like it too much to subject it to the abuse.. Does that make sense?

Very hard to describe.. Each car I love for the reasons i dont love the other. For example, I love the Porsche because when i go to a gas station, no one runs up and asks me five million questions, when I park the car, no one climbs all over it taking pictures, Im not afraid to take it to the grocery store, ill drive it in the rain etc etc. All the things I wont do, or dont like to do in the Lambo i can do in the Porsche.
