get something different. but anyways ur TT will not be more than 170k give or take. the SE is 40k+ away. keep in mind if u're going to do the same miles as ur last TT & use it as a daily driver then the 997TT is no question the winner. if u want something exotic get the Gallardo, but get something else for daily.

Lambo- let's see what Porsche does with this run before jumping into the pool.

Well....

Its all in the look, the love and how you feel driving it.
I would go for the Porsche Turbo...
Lambos are hot and the sound is wild, its not practical for what I do here, but take me to my Italia family and I feel a different dream coming on.
Reality says I will have 1 mean mean machine. ......

Dario, I think both cars are wildly different. They are both quick but the TT will be faster. The TT is more reliable, cheaper to maintain and can easily be used as a daily driver like you used your old Turbo. The thing about the Lambo is the "wow" factor. Let's put it this way. You go out in the 997TT and people will say nice car, a lot of people will look and smile and that's about it. When you go out in a Gallardo, people whip out the camera phones. That's probably the best way to describe the difference. It happened all the time whenever I went anywhere with my neighbor and his Gallardo. Instead of people just looking, people go out of their way to look backwards. People stand and take photos by the car etc. It's all a matter of what you prefer.

Lambo bro....
P.S. What options and how much total?
I thought SE was like 210K US?
I'd NEVER pay that much for a TT....Hell at 210 you're close to LP640

P.S. As a data point my 03TT was 160K and did not have PCCB or other alu options which would have added at least 12 K so....
