Nice! Congrats!
I looked at and drove a Orange Super Leggera at LOC. Fun car, but not as refined as the Ferrari. Decided it was a bit too much for a daily driver.
How does it compare to the turbo?

Two different cars. The G is a worthy substitute but not a GT2. I'd be pissed.

Yes, Eric you were right. I've had 3 911's, a C4S, a C2 and a Turbo Cab with the X50 package. All 3 cars don't compare. This car is "sex on wheels". Ferrari can kiss my left butt cheek with there stupid 2 year wait and porsche can kiss my right butt cheek with thier $50K over MSRP. I LOVE IT! I'm been converted!!

In other words... Your money is not any good to us intil we run a market research test. If they are selling over MSRP we will auction it off. If they are not that hot we will call you and let you buy it. I thought the F car dealers were bad...

I don't think I will ever buy a new car from a dealer agian....
Terrible practices from Porsche recently..

BTW Congrats on the Gallardo, will probably be more enjoyable day in and day out with the beautiful weather like in the pic hah

It really ticks me off that you can't get the best cars Porsche makes these days, GT3, RS, GT2. I have tried to find an allocation for the new GT2 with no luck. My dealer said his three allocations went to the same buyer for 50k over.

I am a disgruntled Porsche fan>>>>

Porsche again has priced the GT2 in CDN $ at $235,000. Seeing that the CDN and US $ are at par then the $45K mark up "makes sense".
PCNA is ripping off Canadian dealers who are forced to buy the cars from PCNA and NOT PAG. If he sold all 3 to one buyer, the buyer for sure is a reseller.

But in a way I can see PAG wanting this, since the last GT3's and especially GT2 prices tanked...

I think you made the right decision. Variety is the spice of life.
