Ok you are going 10 to 8 to 6 cylinders. So that might be a concern if the car will be regularly driven.

I can't speak to the Lambo as I have not had/driven one. However, it is a neat car, but it does quickly depreciate.

I can speak to the Ferrari as I do own one and have before. It's an exciting car. No other can make that sound. It is a fabulous car, but it needs maintenance! It seems to hold its value better than the other two cars.

The Porsche is a very reliable car with low maintenance, and with 6 cylinders it's fuel mileage should be better than the two above.

So with that I can't make direct suggestions.

You own the Porsche and you know it.

So go drive the others and get a feel.

the lambo will probably be the most fun, but will also lose its value the quickest

Actually the F430 would be more fun to drive than the Lambo.

I've always been a huge Ferrari-fan and the F430 is a lovely car but still... The Gallardo Superleggera is in a different league compared to F430. I never thought I'd say it, but I'd take the Gallardo Superleggera.

Ignore the swedish and listen to the sound:-> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42cnJOx3z00

The performance between the F430 and Gallardo SL is pretty much the same so... It's up to you. V10 or V8, RWD or AWD...

Since you posted in the Ferrari section, perhaps you have already made up your mind. (Now if you also posted this in the lambo section then disregard)

I just traded my 997 GT3RS for a new F430 F1 Spider. Best move I ever made, no contest. The Lambo will depreciate like a mother, got to consider that when the coin is this heavy. Still, ugly and crude compared to the 430.

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.
