The last I heard, 997 GT2's were going for $275K in the US. I think there's only something like 8 of them here so far.

 

I don't know why anyone would pay almost $300K for a 911.

 

For the tremendous performance capabilities of the GT2, I could see the msrp of $190K being slightly acceptable. $300K, not so much.

 

A 2005 996 GT2 MSRP was $190,000+. So a 997 GT2 MSRP at $191,000 is not out of the ball park. There will be 300 997 GT2's imported to the US in 2008. $50,000 over MSRP.

The 997GT2 will keep pace with an LP640 that cost $420,000. How is the 997 GT2 over priced?

 

Well, you paid over $200K for a Gallardo. That was a bad purchase, performance wise. You could have purchased a 996TT that would out perform it on the street and track.

 

Simple! A tuned Civic will beat both. Speed doesn't equal $$$. It's still a Porsche and unlike a CGT it's still a 911 and a 911 is not worth $250K+ as it is NOT an exotic and there are far better choices in that price range, such as a Lambo.

 

You do not know what I paid and you are way off in your estimate. Also, I did not buy it for street performance or track. I bought it for overall ownership experience and it gave me just that. If I want a fast Porsche I'll get a 2003 996TT for $65K then throw in $15K in mods and call it a great value.

 

That's a really tough choice! I'd say the Lambo but that's just because I've heard that it's a completely re-engineered version of the '08 car and actually shares very little with the current version. Performance wise, they should be similar but the Gallardo will definitely stand out more in a crowd. Hard to say which would be more fun to drive. Just follow your heart and wallet.

 

The Gallardo is not that great of a driver, right. You sold yours and I do not see another one in your list of awesome cars list (and I mean that too).

The Gallardo is a great looking car (better than the 911) and this is coming from an Italian who has owned 911’s since I was 18 years old.

Do not take my comments the wrong way. I would much rather be driving an Italian car, but for the money the 911 out performs most cars and that is what I call DRIVING EXPERIENCE.

The LP640 is the best all around Lambo.

 

It's called bling loyalty

See the above post

 

i'd anyday go for the lp.. much more exotic.. besides both cars have 0 - 60 times of 3.7 secs and lp560 gives you 30+ bhp.. the lamborghini will be the best of both worlds.. owning an exotic + great performance + killer looks.. whereas the 911 is a drivers car.. depends on what you want
the lamborghini would rock my day!

 

+1!

I am seriously considering placing an order for the LP560 after I have driven my LP for some time.. May be even around the end of this year or early next year.
