If I had the money, and I could get a new gallardo for under 140K, I would get that bad boy and put MATADOR, or MAT ADR on a vanity plate. Either that or get an 01 TT certified for 75k and put the extra money on a savings account for the 997turbo.

@ Adiaz-- I like to give Ferrari owners **** because the vast majority of them are posers who don't even drive their cars hard. Everyone keeps saying how reliable they are, I can guarantee you, give me 3 months in a Stradale and something will get ****ed up or break.
A friend of mine asked to borrow my GT2 for a while, I told him only way I would do that is if he lent me his Stradale on a reciprocal exchange. Somehow, the thought of that scared him...
Ferraris are fragile. Put that car airborne and all that beautiful underbody **** will crack or the tin foil chassis will bend. Remember the Race of Champions and what happened to the chassis of the 360 Challenge cars, or the tranny that cost Finland the team victory?
And when something does break on a 911, it is a fraction of the cost of repairing a 360.
One thing Ferrari is good at is managing supply and demand, at least while the models are current. Their brand management and marketing under Luca di Montezemolo is brillaint. They have become the "Cristal" of cars - high prices with inferior product. Every athlete and rapper wants one of these things. Drivers want Porsches, well, at least the GT models.

F50 GT is a pretty sweet car. I also saw an Enzo GT version or prototype in the background on Fifth Gear, when they did a piece on a guy who bought Schumacher's ex-F1 machine at the factory.

Does your GT2 or GT3 have any aftermarket mods?
Just curious......how many miles have you racked up on your cars?

GT2 has almost 8000 miles (7,600 of which I have put on), GT3 has 1600 miles (700 of which I have put on)
Why do you ask?

I saw a 550 in that color in Monaco last year. It looked stunning and classy. But having orange top/int and ext is like wearing red boxers, red pants, red sweater, red shoes and a red cap.
