I had a Huracan, it was a snoozefest. I tried my friend's Performante, and it was a little more visceral but still not fun. I love the way the Huracans look and sound, but the driving experience does absolutely nothing for me. I sold my Huracan and went back to Porsches because they're just more fun, even if they don't look or sound as exotic. I guess it depends on what you're looking for. If you want to show off, the Lambo will get tons of attention. In my case it was all good, people loved it, and I never had a problem with it. I just hated every minute I had to spend behind the steering wheel.

Trade it for a white GT2RS...Chicks digg turbos. And odds are it would hold value better than this or the Lamborghini.

You’re 22 and can afford a $250k car and your asking advice of guys a lot of whom couldn’t afford these cars until 2 to 3 x’s your age?

Why is is he being admonished for his age?

I was in the same place, my four options were 2RS, 3RS, performante or 720.
i ended up with a .2 3RS.

if you’re in it for the long haul like I am keep it and save for the next toy, grow the collection. No reason to sell at your age and level of financial freedom.

+1,
wrong place to ask at this age, just do what feels best. Assuming you’re maxing out retirement and savings you can clearly afford to do what you want. With that said you won’t get the response you’re looking for here.

I’d keep it. Then again I still have the vehicle I bought when I was younger than you. Having both kept cars and sold cars to get something “better,” there is nothing like the feeling a decade or two later of taking your old friend for a spin. Besides, who is having more fun now? The guy with the new RS or hurricane the guy who has owned a 993 or 996 RS since new?

Sell it. You’re too young to be tied down. When you tire of the sexy Italian ****** you’ll be back. In the mean time get the Ferraris and lambos and please do us all a favor and post pics of your adventures. Chicks love pop up doors too. Doors up panties down, is thst the saying? Go have fun. Be free.

thanks.
Your old rennlist friends

I would get rid of it. Those things are junk, even though I own one.
