I too live in L.A., and I wouldnt want EITHER of them as a daily driver.. As a second car no doubt the Lambo anyday of the week. In regards to comfort it is far more comfy to drive than my 997TT, but the 997 is better suited to drive daily due to the lack of public drama. I would never do a 6 speed in this city for daily use.

sorry, but that is my take on the lambo crowd i have seen. weekend garage queens vs a truly stout performance car like the gt3 or any porsche.

i too look, but would never touch.
Well, most of the Porsche guys I see around L.A. are in Loafers with their sweaters hung around their necks.... personally Id prefer the gold chains and earings....

The 2006 Gallardo is an awesome car. Unless you're going to track a bunch, I'd pick the Lamborghini. Significantly more drama and style. The stock exhaust is rocking too. Best value exotic right now.

The cars are also extremely solid. Very little to worry about regarding maintenance. I've had more issues with my Porsches than with my Gallardos.

Get both. I did!

Thanks for all the input, guys.
Went and saw a G--the exact color combo (metallic blue ext, beige and blue int) I wanted with only 6,500 miles. And the best parts--6 speed manual and local in LA.
Drove great; clutch is like butter compared to the 997S. Sounds awesome and looks amazing. Needless to say, I drove home in it.

Unfortunately, no complimentary gold chain or earrings.

If things go well I'm sure I'll be back in a Porsche someday again but for now it's Lambo time.

Thanks. Great music. Did girls actually scream when you drove by and revved? Haha nice.
On the freeway today there was a guy in an S2000 with the top down and with his hot gf. I didn't notice them until he tried to play--but I was checking her out. She kept staring at me with a naughty sexy look like she didn't care if her bf was sitting right there. Never got that in my 997S. I think I won't mind changing music for a little while.

I was gonna say, a married guy, with a Gallardo, in LA, might find himself getting into trouble...

Ya it was a group of girls walking down the sidewalk... That is the second time I have done that... Just as funny as the first time....

You should get a lot of love in that Lambo, That is what it is made for...997s is nice however does not have the areo styling of the GT3 or the sound so it holds it own as well.... Have fun!

That story put a huge smile on my face for some reason. I'm going to go "hot girl with with boyfriend" hunting in the 3 now. Congrats on the new ride!

Agreed. Which was why I was an inch away from closing a deal on a GT3 MK2 until the lame dealer realized they quoted me $5K below what they could actually sell it for.

Let's hope not! Cali divorce laws are a biotch.
