Gallardo is the only way to go with those options.
Robert is really right who wants a used TT or a 360 when new models are out and coming out..Albert my 2 cents is in go for the Lambo

For that $ ($140-$150) I would buy a GT2 with $115k of it, mod the hell out of it with $20k and take a sweet vacation with the $ left over.. When you get back from your vacation, go eat EVERY 360CS and Gallardo out there for breakfast, lunch & dinner.

though choice !

id choose a gallardo over a 360. at that price range the gallardos are 1-2 years old vs the 4 year old 360s.

my heart would go for the gallardo but my mind would pick a turbo preferably a 997Turbo. i may be able to afford to purchase a gallardo BUT i dont think i can afford to own and maintain a gallardo.

GOOD LUCK

Take a look at the interior of the Lambo. If that doesn't narrow it down to the F or P-car, nothing ever will.

It looks like a Chevy cobalt inside. Serious injustice.

210 is rediculous and 190 is not? In CA, these cars often sell very close to MSRP, which is over 200 for some cars with many options.

BTW, most people don't realize how fast a CS or 360 is. In most unplanned street encounters, the CS or 360 with F1 will downshift 2 gears and be gone before you even have a chance to grab your shifter. On a straight, the CS and turbo are dead even with the 360 just a few cars lengths behind up to 120 or so.

FWIW, for the driving enthusiast, I use my turbo when I go cruising with the fast guys on long straights. I use the CS when I go cruising with the motorcycle guys on the mountain roads.

Also, 360s and CSs are very reliable but will be more expensive to own due to slightly higher maintenance costs and expensive and sometimes hard-to-get parts. But, if you care, your neighbors will really be attracted to the Ferrari. The Porsche is now a bit ordinary. There's many around and they all look the same. Most people can't tell the difference between a 993, 996 and 997!

albert,
let's face it. which car will make u smile the most when u open the garage? the Guppy gangs know it will not be Turbo. so why bother ask?

i'm being straight. the camera man deserves something hotter. if u want a hardcore sleeper for the weekend fun then i think u might have more fun in the GT3 rather than Turbo. i ask u when because 997 hotcores are around the corner so the question might still be too early to ask.

honestly i think you'd be more happy with the fcar over the turbo .. i know uve been oogling at a 360 for a while now... and knowing you swtiching cars almost every year.. the 360 will probably be a better car for this over the turbo... since this car i know for sure will be a weekend car... / guppy meet car... the 360 is the better choice...

drive my car see what you think... you know i love the turbo but i just think the 360 is teh better fit for you, especiallly since teh new 997 turbos gt3. etc are coming out and you will probabaly want those more than the 996 turbo....
