If I was unbiased, I ask first what your intended use is. Lambo poor on the street, GT3 rough on the street, 430 perfect for both street and track, unless you are a track junky.

I can't tell you how much I like the 430. Even my wife told me I should have bought one years ago.

i was a track junkie but after my knee surgeries "not so much" anymore so looking for an paddle F-car or lambo leaning to F-car due to the heavy coin and my wife likes it too... but the lambo looks good but i would agree on the dropping value... The 997 GT3 is a kick *** driving machine....

I'm quite sure there would still be forums but have questions with substance. I'm waiting for a post asking to advise on what color underwear would be appropriate while driving ones Lambo, Porsche or Ferrari. Answer my original question please, who would base the purchase of a car on the consensus of an automobile forum? I guess it has entertainment value.

go for 430 ..if you speak for scuderia,....noone of 430 or Sl is so reliable like GT3,and is much cheaper to use it,in track or in road....except if you care for "look" and "image",in other case,keep your GT3 ,in a little time will be "classic" with this engine..and save for the next GT3

i LOVE all 3 of those cars. you cant go wrong with any. i think for a car that will see some track action, i would pick the GT3, for more of a weekend warrior, i would choose the f430, and for a combo of both of those, the Gallardo SL would be best. good luck with your choice as its not so easy.

The SL prices are dropping, and I doubt they are any worse % wise than the 430's are, The SL will do a better job on the track, and in weather, ...the 430 will be better for straight line acceleration..so it depends on what you are looking for in a car...
