Ferrari Mailing List: Need some advice on cars...

[Dennis Liu (bigheaddennis]

Howdy, folks.  In need of some input.  

Time for a new toy, and I've narrowed it down to a few options.  For roughly
the same money, I can have...

1.  An earlier Gallardo (2004/2005), and a modified 996 twin turbo with
sick, sick horsepower (though I'd have to trade/sell the yellow 911, which
I'd hate to do, but can't rationalize having 2 911s).

2.  a 430 coupe with a manual 6-speed transmission, and keep the yellow 911.

3.  Sell the yellow 911, and buy . . . A Gallardo.  Turbo.  With sick, sick
horsepower.

Thoughts?  I seriously love TLJ's 996; it's been the most reliable vehicle
in my garage over the last few years, and only has 60k miles on it, and I
can take the girls out for rides in it, so I'm loathe to get rid of it.
OTOH, I'm now seriously, seriously in lust with a 996tt I found with 1k
horsepower (on race gas).  I can't possibly justify having two 911s in the
garage.

So do I get the 996tt and add a Gallardo, just to keep it interesting?  Or
do I keep TLJ's 996 and get a manual 430 instead?

The wild card is the TT Gallardo....

Thx,
