Thanks for the input. I am concerned about the attention drawing factor as my wife might refuse to come out with me if she finds it too much! Obviously the orange and yellow Gs would attract the most attention but maybe black or dark grey will play down the cars dramatic appearance?

My son also says that if I get the Gallardo he will put the vimto away after him and stop leaving the lights on around the house.

mine was black, and it drew massive attention. just as another poster said- cellphone cameras, regular cameras, posing by car in parking lots, following for miles (kind of freaked me out, to tell the truth). e-gear was pretty rough shifting as well. using automatic function for around town driving was really jolting. just wasn't for me. and my wife thought it was "too loud..."

thanks for this info, being from boston its particularly important to me, Im really curious if your figuring on your incoming car being less expensive to run?

Well I never did get to drive the turbo as my OPC no longer has it as a demo car. I did drive the GT3 though and it blew my socks off. Beautiful engine, great noises and excellent steering feel. I enjoyed it as much as the Gallardo so as it is 40k cheaper with less depreciation I think I will let my head rule my heart and go for a GT3.
