Ouch!

The truth has been exposed.

No more photoshops of money stacks.

He can buy all the used tires in the world but still wouldn't be able to buy respect. That's gotta be upsetting!

I'd probably try to find an F430 for $140K. Then again, put that down on a 599GTB...sweet.

I must be the only person on the planet who would never buy a Porsche 911 (or variant). I can appreciate their performance, but to me, it just looks like the same worn out design of the past 40 years...well, that may be a little harsh, but I hope you know what I mean!

There is no way you would be able to buy an F430 for $140k. Pretty much every F430 is still in the high 100's, low 200K range. You can buy a nice gallardo for 140K though... not that much worse than F430

06+ Gallardo would definitely walk E55/E63, they run 11.8 @ 118-119 in the 1/4 mile stock.
http://www.dragtimes.com/2006-Lambor...ecs-10797.html

Plus a Gallardo is an exotic, unlike the E55/E63 or 911 turbo and is ten times more fun to drive and to look at (try keeping up with a gallardo in the twisting or the road course!). Sorry but Lambo's and Ferrari's are on a totally different level than Mercedes, BMW and Porsche.

im still not a fan of an exotic car. not really a fan of lambo or ferrari.
id rather have a DD that hauls butt and is low maintence. when i think lambo, i think italian guy in leather jacket too much gel in hair.

for 140k ill happily drive my 997TT or a CLK63 AMG BS over an gallardo anyways.

and i dont think the 06 gallardos have dipped to anywhere near 140k yet. could be wrong, but thats what i think.

Watch it buster...you've got some Gallardo owners here that also own E55s.

I do understand where you are coming from though. A 997TT will smoke a Gallardo (and most everything else if it has some mods) and is certainly more practical but if you enjoy exotics, I don't see anything wrong with that. I love them as they are fun to drive and don't put me to sleep like the 997TT. I could go 0-150 in a 996TT with a cup of coffee on the dash and be half asleep. I could do the same in a 996 GT3 and feel alive when I got there and the coffee would be all over the cabin.

Dumb thread but I'll play.

I'm cheap so I'd buy 2 cars from this list.

-G37
-S5
-CLK
-E63
-E60
-E90
-GS460
-ISF

With the change I'd mod both cars and buy insurance and xtended warranty.
