Is it the engine that's having problems or the rest of the car?

Rick,Exactly
That is why I said in my original post not to compare price or horsepower since those are obvious. Price is strictly relative to each person. What's expensive to you may not be the same as me or anyone else....
But assuming you would write the check, which car would you buy? I'm really in love with the v10 R8 but certainly not in a position to buy it right now. Just debating what to do down the road as I see that as the logical stepping stone for me or otherwise it will be a 360 Stradale.
Rick,
You know how much I love your NSX and we had a discussion about R8 before, and I said I prefer your exceptionally beautiful NSX over "V8" R8. Economy sucks for the sellers, but rocks for the buyers. There are a lot of cars available at V10 R8's price range. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the choices.
You mentioned the 360 Stradale. My pick would definitely be a 360 Stradale, a lighter car is still a lighter car. It is probably as much fun you could possibly get with your cloth on, if you don't mind not having clutch pedal.
It's got that FROG look that I can't get over :frown:
I would much rather have a Gallardo. Why pay more money for the "baby" version of the real car? I'm convinced that once the hype of the r8 wears off the price is gonna drop like a rock. I wouldn't really want to own one during that time. The Gallardo has already had time to depreciate.
I admit I never really liked the style of the R8 either.
I can't explain it, but these cars simply don't photograph well...When I see one on the road they are absolutely stunning.
