09 997tt cab or used gallardo spyder?

I have been watching this forum for about a month and had my heart set on ordering an 09 997tt cab. At the last minute an 07 Gallardo Spyder came up. 5k miles, e-gear, mint condition, 15 months left on factory warranty. color and options I really want. Difference in price less than $7000. (Gallardo is more.) I will use the car maybe 2500 miles a year on weekends. I can get the Gallardo today, The turbo is a September build. Any advice you can give me, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Oleg. PS. I hope you guys will let me hang around this forum, even if I go with the Lambo.

I just pulled the trigger on the Gallardo! So far, the car is truly amazing. The e-gear takes some getting used to. I will be tinting the windows and lights tomorrow. I will post pictures as soon as I figure out how to do it. Thanks alot for all your input, Oleg.

The G would definitely be a much more exclusive car. The G would also have more power straight from the factory, but the TT would be easier to tune to high HP.

I love the 997, but in a pinch for a pure weekend car I would have to go with the Gallardo. Do you have any pics of the Gallardo?

GALLARDO Hands down. If you are looking to roll like a Moviestar, then the Gallardo is the way to go. But if you are gonna drive it all the time then you gotta get the Porsche.

If it's just for weekend driving I would go with the Gallardo Spyder. That thing is HOT with the top down.

As much as I am a P car fan, esp the 997 TT,,, I d go with the Lambo in a heartbeat as a weekend driver.

I ve followed Lambos going home from events and cars literally pull over to see them and let them pass by.

No one has ever pulled over to let me pass on a 2 lane road to get a look.


It is hollywood driving a Gallardo, esp in central florida where they are about extinct.

I had a lambo coupe... it got alot of attention... at times too much,,, but it is a very cool car.. way different feeling then driving a P car... you do feel special in a Lambo.
