Love the Challenge Stradale, but just looking at that Gallardo that you have on there has sealed the deal. The more that I look at that car, the more I like. Plus; if I had to drive it everyday, the AWD would help immensely when driving in the rain.

Probably the Ferrari, although I don't really like the noise the sports exhaust makes. Could always trade it in for a vanilla 360 and about $60k in change . Dark horse choice would be the GT2; the SL55 is too much of a luxo cruiser and the Gallardo is a bit too ostentatious for my tastes (although......... the performance is a hard thing to give up).

SL55 AMG.....not only because I love it but the fact it pushes out the same numbers as the 575 Maranello for a 100k less. If the GT2 looked like this though I would definitely buy it in a heartbeat......

Yo thats a really hard choice.

Hmmmmmm..........well the SL55 would defintely be the most user friendly.

Gallardo goes around corners like an F1 car, and the 360 Stradale is temptingly good.

Gosh this is hard...........

Ok, I'll slash out the SL55 cos its only got an auto box. Gallardo's out cos its so hard to have some sideways fun in it.

360 Stradal's suspension is too hard which means its not as good for drifting.

I love 6 cyclinder engines so I will vote for the Porsche GT2

:cry: god damn i hate it when ppl think like that (no offence dude). porsche is clearly the best pick yet ppl choose the cs over it because of the exhaust note, and "well cuz its a ferrari!"

But dont forget the new GT2 has about 490 horses and the lambo still has a 0-60 time of just under 4.5 seconds cuz of the AWD. Gt2 all the way

well i made this decision in real life and picked the GT2. With the upgrades to 600hp ($7500 total) i can truly say this thing is a monster. It is by far the best car i have ever driven and i have driven just about everything. I don't know why they never include this car in the comparisons because i am pretty sure it would absolutely smoke anything short of the true supercars. And, at the end of the day you have a car that you can drive home and take to work the next day without thinking about it.

On the track it is simply a pleasure to drive. Oversteer is easy to enduce at any time but also easy to bring back into check. I have not had much problem with the snap oversteer that many have complained about, maybe that is because i have adjusted the suspension and alignment a bit.

I'd choose the Gallardo, unless this question is about a car that you only drive on trackdays or sunny sundays. In that case my choice would be the 360CS.

I have very little emotion with Porsches so, although the GT2 is an excellent car, I'd never choose the GT2. The SL55 AMG doesn't stand a chance in this company.

The Gallardo is the greatest car for the money hands down. AWD with rear bias, limited slip, a gorgeous exterior, unbelievable quality (for an Italian brand), and reliable electronics (thanks to Audi), and the best paint on a car in the business make it hot hot hot...
