Gang,

I'm about to bite the bullet on first supercar. I've always wanted a Lambo or Ferrari as a kid, I suppose we all did. There weren't many other dreamcar alternatives. Over the years I've owned many Porsches (have a 850hp 997TT now), M cars, Lotus, 3 NSX, Viper, Z06 and much more. There is a part of me wanting to experience Lambo ownership. The exhaust, the vaultlike quality of Gallardo and Huracan, everyone knows what it is etc.

But then the 3 time NSX owner in me says McLaren. Its the anti-establishment that socked it to the two Italians! Pro's/Cons for 650S

1) 650S is more technologically advanced, faster, better ride. Not that I street race but it would be nice to feel invincible as I currently am in my 997TT ;-)

2) I suspect McLaren owners get less hatorade and people acting angry or crazy. Sure they may know you're not struggling but they have NO idea it costs as much or more than a Lambo do they? 3) Vertical doors On the con side I can only think of a couple: 1) Even if I buy a used one that has already taken the hit I wonder about long term. Will it be cooler and also more $ to have a 15 year old Lambo or McLaren?

3) Can I get the exhaust to sound like a proper supercar? Or will it ever have "turbo muffle" issues achieving a pristine supercar sound?

4) I'm saving over $100k in initial depreciation on 650! Hence it will proportionally incur less depreciation from a new H.

Pro's/Cons Gallardo/Huracan
1) Its a Lambo

2) Nearly new Gallardo is at least $40-$60k cheaper than a 650 coupe

3) If I go Huracan its a brand new Lambo. Will be current for like 10 years plus

4) Sound great

5) Probably the most attention and recognition Cons 1) Huracan is most expensive option of the cars I'm looking at 2) Any Lambo gets most attention - might get tiring

Can you guys comment on Huracan ownership, would you do it again in hindsight?
