Never owned a gallardo but have had a few F cars. I have a 512TR right now in addition to my TT. I LOVE my TT but there is nothing...nothing like a Italian sports car...
Great car...good luck..

Italian cars are beautiful, sexy, and tempting.... but I had some bad experiences with both the ferrari and the lambo. My business partner had horrible experiences with his diablo. our other frined has a 6 liter gt version and hes having trouble... unfortunately they just dont hold up on Chicago roads as well as P cars.
ist just my personal honest opinion. If I had an extra $280K at home I would by a Murci and wouldnt care if it breaks down... but I dont... and drivability is an issue.
IM not against Italian cars.... there are just hard to keep running.
I also have a 999 ducati and that thing went back the first day I picked her up(brand new).

The Gallardo is fantastic, and I would enjoy one also if I could afford
both, but I cannot and the Turbo satisfies my needs 100%.
Enjoy the Guy-are-doe!

i can only afford 996tt now +an other SUV been in CA..if my gf say we can move to somewhere like houston,..then i will buy a F or a used diablo vt.
i always think a person can relocate his business and buy a house at a new develop area..then he can always upgrade his garage...

I'll try to post a pic of the 512. I dont even have a pic posted of the TT. Yes yellow is rare. My understanding is that there are less the 40 in that color. Mine is 100% original except for exhaust. Only 5k on her....all I can say is when I pull up somewhere guys in 430's stop to look....
