A number of guys have switched their G's to 2wd and gained the Ferrari sensation you speak of. Maybe I'll give that a try first.
The closest I've come to that feeling is in the tossability of the NSX; just wish it had more power.

I wouldn't do that. What makes a newer lambo a lambo is the fact that its a 4WD. Lambo thought about making the Superleggera a 2WD to save weight (they know exactly to the pound how much weight it would save) and they abondoned the idea. That's the philosophy of the newer Lambos.
That said, in my opinion (and I have a lot of cars), the best supercar for the money is a Ferrari F430. I love my Lambos, but nothing comes close to a F430 as a driver's car. The sound and feel is unique and distinctly Ferrari. If I could only have one car, it would be a new F430 Spyder (other than a Veyron). The car is so much fun and so easy to drive.
If you can, take your Gallardo to a Ferrari dealership and give an F430 a test drive. They may let you if you show up in a Gallardo.
FYI, Ferrari recently announced the F430 Scuderia (updated 360 Challenge Stradale). I own a Stradale and its wonderful - very focused. The Scuderia should be insane, and it looks fantastic. I will trade my Stradale for it. Go to ferrari.com and check it out.
