Dollar for Dollar the 996TT is by far the best bang for the buck. If i could get a F430 for the same price maybe but then their is the upkeep. I'm keeping the TT.

With it's AWD , it's often taken for fun drives in torrential winter storms in the local mountains - wouldn't care to try that with the other 4 cars on the list .

Wow, you guys actually get your kids in back of your turbos?? Even as old as 8? Incredible. I've seen people trade them in when the kids turn 3 because there is no room.

My girls, at 8 and 9, love riding in my Twin Turbo. They pretty much have grown up riding in the back seat of P-Cars or coupes though. Even with Cayene or Denali XL, the girls still always want to take the "black car" my twin turbo cabriolet when the whole family goes out to dinner or somewhere.

What i like, is that with each subsequent test of the 430, they get slower and slower.
My choice would be:
1. Gallardo (who would of guessed)
2. Ford GT
3. Mercedes Sl65
4. Ferrari 430
5. DB9
6. TT Cab. Now if they substituted a Gt2 for the Cab, it would move in front of the 430.

We will see how fast they really are when they come out, the car looks pretty fast around Fiorano, I would like to see its Nurienburgring times as well. Can't wait for a top gear review!
My choice would be:
1.F430
2.TT Cab (opposite of F430 and Gallardo and more of a daily driver)
3.Gallardo
4.DB9
5.Sl65
6.Ford GT
The Gallardo or TT, it would be a tough choice, Gallardo = a exotic car, TT = sports car, but it is a better daily driver and is more open to mods + it is a convertible.
