Mine will be either a G or Murcie Egear. However, I am starting to give some initial consideration to a 430F1. What's yours?

My gallardo is going away, and I am in the hunt for a LP640 6spd.

My first problem is that, with the Radical, I'll now have four vehicles and a two car garage. :) I keep one outside and the Radical will stay in its trailer but no more room for another street car. If I had the room and the money, I think I'd get a Ford GTX1 just to have as a fun semi exotic. If I had the room and a lot of money, 430 6-speed; don't need the spider since I've got the G spyder already. If I had the room and stupid money, Koenigsegg CCX. :)

If money isn't a limiting factor, I'd add a yellow Carrera GT....It takes my breath away

There was one blasting around the track at Sebring last time I was there, that engine sounds incredible, like a jet:

Well, I'm still working on getting a lambo within the next decade, but if i had stupid money, it would have to be the Veyron.

I don't think I'd have as much fun with a Veyron, it's so damn expensive I'd be worried about doing something stupid. Well if I could afford one that would mean I'd probably be worth at least $20 mil so maybe it wouldn't really be an issue at that point. :)

Nope not yet. Rotating the toys around, getting rid of the track car. If anyone knows of a 6spd 640 with carbon brakes, please let me know.

No yellow, not crazy about blue. Other than that I am open.I am planning on keeping this car for at least 7-10 years, so I would like to get something a little different. TIA for any help.

Thanks for the heads up, I saw those. Everything he has left in stock is E-Gear, I am a die hard 6spd guy. I am throwing around the idea of finding a open slot and ordering one, but I lack patience.

oh yeah! 6spd...

Well, damn. Personally if i had the income to support it, I'd have a Lp640 on order right now in grigio proteus. Its not black, its not silver, its a perfect medium.

BTW Vtpower, welcome.

Kind of a weird situation. I am actually not wanting to order because I am not sure what color I would want. I usually buy used and play the lesser of evils game(when it comes to color,usually just buy black when I can), so the prospect of picking a color is kind of strange. I am kind of leaning towards a candy color(verde ithica, etc) for this car though. Hopefully the right deal will show up and I won't have to make a decision...LOL!

I'm somewhat the same way, apart from the fact that i dont buy cars very often lol. But i know if i ordered a lp it would be grigio proteus. Normally i prefer black cars too.

RIE, I spoke with a dealer earlier this evening and he said the only 6-speed LP640's coming into the country right now are those that have been ordered by people for purchase rather than dealers for inventory; most, if not all, of the dealers are going with e-gears. You'd probably be looking at July or August if you put an order in now. So you may have to just hope someone who ordered a LP640 6-speed in advance, did so to flip it, unless you want to go through the long wait.

I'd like to buy a 70s Lincoln Continental......but probably not going to happen unless I happen upon a decent job.

Thanks for the heads up. I know that 6spd cars were almost all order by customers, not for dealer stock. I am just going to wait around for the next couple of months to see what shakes free on the used market.

Aston Martin V8 Vantage. Either Le Mans blue, or metallic grey with saddle leather interior. Won't need front camera on this one.

Zdoc, have you decided to go that route? You had been kicking the idea around a while.
