Dont forget the snob factor.

I get waves and attention from all comers, M6's, S6's, zo6's, mustang cobras, even wanna e 335i's. I give em a wave and push (usually scorch em a bit, too)
But heres the thing.

Driving home last week I saw another 996 TT, pulled along side, traded cheery hellos and engine revs and all was right with the world.

A few minutes later a black gallardo passed me, sick looking car, so i went after him to play, say hi, whatever. The dude would not even LOOK at me, let alone say hello or rev it a bit. My 996 TT is no slouch. I could probably give him a run with my 575 hp, but with his windows down he would not even give me the time of day.

Own a Gallardo and you are automatically a snob until proven otherwise.

Boca, a friend of mine and maybe mutual friend has a nice 05 Yellow Gallardo for sale in Boca. 6 speed but modded very tastefully with everything you can think of from wheels to stereo in pristine condition and looking to sell it if your interested.

You are wanting to mod it for a reason, you are contemplating this for a reason.. That reason leads me to believe, your heart is already set and made up, go for the Gallardo man.

Sounds like you miss the Gallardo. For me the 996tt is one car I always wanted. I loke the Gallardo as well, but I don't like being stared at as I drive around, to much of an attention getter for me. But I do love the G. Great German car Probably the only option to the 911 turbo for me. Good luck with the decision. If your not getting the LP560, you will miss the insane reliable power the 996tt is capable of. The LP is extremely fast,
