    When you're at that level of car, you cannot make a bad decision.

    I can't give you any valuable advice but the Carrera GT is GORGEOUS and sounds AMAZING. So it would get my vote. Then again I've never heard the LP640 and it looks great too.

    only 2200 miles...
    Black and red inside....
    Bidding from 345,000 U.S dollars to Max 380,000..
    However, I've heard that there is little HP difference between U.S version and Europe version, because of the California Emission Test.
    Europe version goes much faster and there is no Top speed limiter.
    E-Bay says U.S spec has 605HP,,,,,comepared to 620HP europe version.

    well, do you like your CS or your murci better? the CS is close to a CGT, and as u have the murci already, Id try something different....but thats just me. also the CGT is in a different class as far as price, yet they flirt with one another bc of the lambo msrp and the porsche discount...so ill say the porsche;)

    I'm a huge Lambo fan, but there is no question: Carrera GT. It takes the supercar experience to another dimension.

    640 definitely,quicker on paper and in real life,more practical and much easier to drive and use all that power.(640's performance expectation based on factory claims,driveability judgement based on driving CGT and current Murcie)

    I definitely like my CS very much and It's totally different experience compared to heavy and AWD Murcielago.
    CS feels light, looks more sexy, RWD, High rev beautiful exhaust sound, great Ceramic brakes never fade, can enjoy oversteering, excellent F1 paddle shift on Race mode, has launch control, no carpet, Roll cage inside, fire extinguisher in Driver's side seat, 4 pointed harneses, All dash board and racing seat shell ,doors made in Carbon fiber wrapped by Alcantara...those make you feel you are in a race car.^^
    I had to waited to getting this for more than 6 month and was not easy for me.
    Enjoy the photoes^^

    CGT in a heartbeat. Sounds sexual at high revs, looks incredible, AND has a T-top. What's NOT to like about this marvelous machine?

    what is the maintenance like on a CGT compared to lambos and F-s. When I took my 911 in to get serviced one of the mechanics told me it was something like $10 - 15K a year to maintain a CGT. Is this true??

    Carrera GT. No question. I am a Lambo fanatic, but there will be many Mercie's of one kind or another and although the new one should be outstanding, a supercar with a removeable roof has it all. And the sound is outstanding. No wrong answer though. Good luck.
