WOW! Thats all I can say. You have three spectacular supercars. I am partial to the TT and the G but all are very nice. Thanks for sharing with us and your candid fact on the ridiculously brutal acceleration that we all know comes with buying a Porsche TT.

My Pleasure to share. Each one has their own unique personality & strong points. It is this unique difference which has driven me (no pun intended) to own one of each.

They are all World Class Performers. I have owned 2 dozen Turbos, of course this is the Best one by Far!

I have owned many Ferrari's, none comparable to the F430.

And lastly, I have even had my share of Lambos, choosing the SE-G 6-Speed over everything they make including the new LP-640. It is that good; a daily driver that is Fast, Reliable, & doesn't creak & squeak.

The Turbo has the most mileage with 2075 & is literally a bullet. Torque is off the charts, it breaks all 4 wheels off the line, 1st to 2nd, & 2nd to 3rd.

The Lambo & Ferrari Don't

Anyway enjoy your Ride safely!

I was actually going ot say the same. They are each unique in their own way. I think they all have their own type of exotic look to them as well, and I love it. As for breaking all 4 wheels of the line(and the others that do not, huh hum) that does not surpise me. It is just a phenomenal machine. Do you have any plans for the TT or any of them for that matter in terms of mods?

All my Mods will be Cosmetic only. I may Chip the Turbo if & when it becomes available, but it doesn't need it.

New iForged Rims & Tires for the F430 sporting Pirelli 255/30/19 front and 355/25/19 rear tires. I already put every Carbon piece on it.

Gallardo is pretty much Perfect Stock, I'll leave that one alone

Honestly, lot of those tests are crap. I usually will take the best test and base on that. The best I have seen for the 997TT is 11.4@120(tip) and 11.7@121(6MT). I think that those both show what the turbo can do. I also think that these were not broken in, and we all know a broken is Porsche is much faster(as most cars are) and a broken in TT will prob yield 123-124 mph trap speed.

masterlu your car collection is incredible.

I be surprised if any one at 6speed has all three cars.

Alright then, my Wife was correct when she said "Nobody has all 3, that's just Crazy"



Another one of her famous lines "When are you going to take those cars off Life Support?" meaning my Battery Tenders

I had the relatively rare oppurtunity to drive a 6-speed manual Gallardo back in '04 when they were still new. While this was the 493 hp car and purportedly weaker than the '06 versions, its acceleration was just comparable to my stock 996TT. Low-end torque was somewhat weak but power came on better in the mid- and higher reaches to roughly match the TT. Either Lambo's AWD drivetrains aren't anywhere as efficient as Porsche's or their powertrains were somewhat over-rated relative to the TT. So masterlu's take on the relative accelerative capabilities of the three seems to be inline with my limited experience with these cars. As for R&T's baseless test numbers, read my post on this thread: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ad.php?t=56412

Your points were valid. Mags are beginning to be crap these days. I think Renntech made a very good point in the fact that all those times were CORRECTED and not acutal time. Makes me wonder all the more. I do not personally think that there is any car in the world that can match the efficiency of the AWD systems that Porsche uses. its obvious that lambos do not do the trick and that Porsche's do. The TT is def the fastest in straight line acceleration, at a track those results have been varied as well too, so it depends on the driver. I think the TT in real world acceleration def takes the cake, and prob a lot more. The G is nice, but seems unefficient, the 430, just seems to prissy. I want a car I can drive and that just wants to be pushed harder and harder to the limits. You get that with the TT, and with the G. That is apparent from everything I have read.
