Would you choose the Gallardo over your GT2? How about the inclusion of the GT700 engine package? I can only imagine the face contorting acceleration the GT700 has. It sounds so fun. However, I still love the sound of the Gallardo 10x better than 996 turbos.
Thanks for your feedback.

I say try something different and get a Gallardo. You can always get twin turbos upgrade on it or go back to the GT2 if bored in the future.

Hmm tough decision, i feel you'll get more thrill out of driving a lambo, but not for the performance aspect and that if you need a GT700 package to enjoy your GT2 more, you might need something much crazier then both.

Get the Gallardo. It is such sick car, every time you drive it you will be grinning ear to ear just because you are behing the wheel of a freakin' LAMBO!!! It has power, handles great and looks are ridiculous. The GT2, yes will be fast as hell, but is still just a Porsche. I have a Ruf Rturbo 550 conversion and I still long for the Gallardo. I will be making the switch sooner or later.....

Gallardo!!!!! After only a week now with the Gallardo, it is by far my favorite car I have ever owned! My Stage IV 996 Turbo was nice, it was fast and probably cheaper to own over the long hall, BUT the Gallardo is the hands down winner when comparing the two! For the price, the Gallardo is the right choice. Put an exhaust on it and its 10X times better!
I still get into the Gallardo and smile from ear to ear the whole time I am in it. The Porsche was fun, but didnt put a smile that big on my face for hours on end!
Just my 2 cents.......

Bottom line, people buy cars for different and their own reason, its up to your gut feeling

I would have a Gallardo instead of any modern Porsche (CGT not included). Seems like a lot of ex TT/GT2 owners are adding one or replacing the P car with a G.

Today I have an 06 G and 04 996TT which is on its way to Imagine Auto for the GT700. Can't live without either now
Either way, you win. Gallardo will be a blast at the track as well.

I knew that you had a GT2 and a 996TT at one time, but you sold both.
Pics please

Gallardo...I love my TT but I was in Huntington Beach, Ca on Sun and parked right next to a Momo edition Gallardo....it was SOOOOO over the top. No comparision to the P car. Now I'm not saying the TT cant stomp its *** but for pure sex appeal....give me the Lambo...

i say get the gallardo and demand the wife drive the gt2 for now.....then when spring comes around, just trade in the one you don't want ( keep the one you like better) for the sl55 ...that way you get a couple of months to experience both...( a con is you don't get to feel the gt700..)
