Hello,
I know its to early to post this, but just wanting to get some impressions about your opinions about it.. Im getting a car this time next year or in 9 months.. Im a sports car person and a love sport sedans.. I own an Audi S6 4.2.. used to own a TT.. never will sell the S6.. I have a budget near to 180 - 190 $ but it can go up if I need to.. I have some access to nice car ( my family ).. LS430, S600, S Type R, C4S, 4.6is, M3 etc.. so here are the cars Im considering for next year..

1- Lamborghini Gallardo ( #1 Choice till now )
2- Porsche 996 Turbo S ( ordered, not so sure yet )
3- Porsche 997 Turbo ( IF AVAILBLE ! )
4- BMW V10 M5 ( After Market Tuned )
5- Audi RS6 ( new one, IF AVAILBE ! )
6- Mercedes-Benz C 55 AMG ( Kleeman Upgrade, 620+ BHP )

appreciate your comments and opinions..

THX

P.S.
( Im a stock person, I would never tune a car after purchase [ buying it tuned is another issue ], BODYKITS can be considered, engine upgrades not so sure )

 

I would go for the Gallardo or a 360CS

 

Why not a GT2? Or say an Aston Martin Vanquish?

 

i'd take the M5 and a used diablo.

I'm not impressed with the Gallardo, looks or drive, but if you like it maybe that would be good if you only want one car.

 

I FORGOT! totally change my mind to a DB9 and save some money.

 

After having 3 996TTs (one now) and a new E55 presently, and after driving a Gallardo, I personally wouln't touch the Lambo. Other than striking looks (which you either love or hate), The car doesn;t offer anything over a 996TT. Our local dealer had around a dozen or so sitting on their lot. The car isn;t selling well here in South Florida. What I thought was kinda funny was how the delaer told me about all of the Ferrari 360s that were traded for the Gallardo. I only noticed one 360 on the lot. I have major concerns about resale based on my albeit limited experience. ALso, the 996TT feels much quicker as the V10 needs revs and lacks low end torque. I also would the GT2 instead.

 

M5 + TT.

Gallardo.

 

A friend of mine just lost 50k on one after trading it back in because he didn't like it. I wouldn't get the Gallardo... He said it was too heavy/sloppy....

 

who is this friend?? what specs - I would definitely buy one for 40K under...

 

ah he traded it in locally so he lost some.. He got a mucri instead. He drove the Diablo and said it kinda sucked...

 

The Diablo does kinda suck compared to the Murcielago, I've ridden in both and there's no comparison even from the passenger seat.

 

they ****ed him over that much even when he was trading it in for a Murci? that's pretty ****ty.

 

hmm.. intresting.. from what I heard the Gallardo is next best thing after a 996TT.. because of audi developing and all.. Im test driving one real soon.. I like the car.. and because I owned 996TT I know Im going to have high standards, we'll just wait and see.. and about the aston's, dont like them very much actaully.. I would buy the vanquish only for its sound.. I drove one.. not that fast for a car that price.. I would take a Murci instead.. but a Murci is too much to handle for me.. Im just wishing for 997TT but if not I think's its a gallardo

 

if you stretch a bit you can get a used murci for about 210. The Gallardo is uninspiring to drive and terribly hard on the eyes. At 130k it might be a good match for the Turbo but at 170 forget about it.
