Drive both & see which you like better. Personally, I like the Murcie better but it feels like a much bigger car than the F430. F430 is a great car but the feel of the car and the way each drives is completely different. What kind of driving are you planning on doing with your new car? The answer might guide you in the right direction.

I posted this in your other thread as well....

My opinion:
You will be a lot more comfortable driving in the F430, and its easier to drive.

The Murci wins in the looks dept, but its not the most comfortable car to drive......its like you are sitting in a hole. The seats in the Murci are not that great and offer no lateral support.

I personally would go for the 430 because I base my choices on what the car can do....not what the car is.

Good luck on your decision! Its a tough one!

Food for thought. Stay lambo all the way, sell your current Gallardo, pick up a Lp 550 balboni (if you can get your hands on one), and then get a murci. AWD fun, and rear wheel fun!

Congrats! You won't be sorry. I've had mine for about a month and a half and I don't have any regrets. I have people walk past ferraris to look at my Murcie all of the time.

Good choice ! was hoping you to get a Ferrari since you have 06 Gallardo SE. Hows does the big bull compare to the gallardo ?

Nice! Btw, we both have 996 GT2 and Murci. but your GT2 is a lot faster than mine. Don't have any regrets so far.

I thought i would too, but driving the F430 didn't really impress me.
The big bull is A LOT bigger. Both are actually pretty similar to drive, but the Murci is just alot bigger.
haven't had a lot of flight time on the Murci, can't tell you much for now

Congrats! That was such a great problem to have!

I would have made the same decision as you did. I would of went the the Murci as well. I think the presence of that car is on another level. When doors go up...

The Murci is my dream car...one day.

Enjoy it in great health, cheers!
