For the subject above 250kmh. I agree on Kreso. I am a Gallardo owner and i know new 997TT will be faster than Gallardo untill 200kmh. But when i tested my car the car's acceleration is amazingly shockingly so good after 220-230kmh.I said myself "" 100-180 kmh acc is not so good but after 220-230kmh damn whats happening it is fast"" I can say Gallardo can reach Turbo maybe pass it after 270kmh.
It is just my oppinion true or not dunno. It must be tested
The fact that you are impressed by the acceleration of the Gallardo at higher speeds does not imply that it is faster as competing cars, right
The Porsche does not feel that quick. It not even felt quicker than my old 996TTS. However, when I took some time benchmarks the 997TT gained 5-10 seconds on my 996TTS between 200-305kph (on the speedo)!
What I am trying to say is: you need to use the stop watch or do a direct comparison to achieve any meaningful results. The numbers and the information I have indicate that the 997TT should be faster than the Gallardo at any speed up to 310kph.
Pretty much in line with what I would have expected (although it is interesting that the TT Tip offers similar 100-300kph performance as the 599GTB). 
....but early 599 buyers will prob be able to drive their car for a yr for essentially free, given the likely 100% resale value b/c of F's lim US allocs, and will simply get another new F next yr to begin process again
