Trust me, I have driven both and raced both against each other and the 6 speed is faster and just more enjoyable to drive.
For example: I raced my 04' Gallardo 6 speed (no cats, quicksilver exhaust) against my "Supercharged" Porsche 997 (490Hp) and the Porsche took the Gallardo by a car to 120ish. I then raced the same "Supercharged 997" against my buddies 06' 6 speed Gallardo and he took it every time 30-150mph, 50 - 120mph & 40 - 150mph. The gearing on the newer gallardo is far superior to the 04's as well as the power. I think the power on the 06 is under rated (IMO).
2006 6 speed Gallardo =

As for the 06 G being underated, on the dyno we have seen that the 06 G makes approx 40hp to the wheels more than 04/05's . Combine that with shorter gearing, and a 6 speed, and you have a car that is night and day from others.

Whats up man? Yeah, lets get togther! I am thinking about going on the drive this weekend, are you going? If we dont go, give me a buzz sometime (I will PM you my #).... My office is on Raintree accross from the old Scottsdale Lotus dealership and I live up in the Troon area. Where abouts are you?
I got rid of my Gallardo 2 weeks ago for the Bentley GT. I just could not fit in the Gallardo any longer and I honestly was not happy with the 04' after driving the 06'.
BTW: Yes the Seal Grey 997 is mine. I bought it from Todd at Evolution Motorsports, it was his personal car! I bought it for my wife, but she refuses to learn how to drive manaul so I am selling it now. I think we have had it for 3 months or so and only put 300 miles on her...
Its a FUN car, everyone wants to race thinking its just a stock 997 and then they find out differently! 
Take care!

I live in Carefree.
As for the Porsche, I was looking at the mods on it, and it looked great! Then i noticed the little supercharged emblem.

My one buddy that had an e-gear LOVED it up until the day he took it to the track for the 1st time. He immedatly wanted rid of it and wanted a 6 speed the next day? He just did not like the feel of the e-gear at the track.
Yes, the 997 is now up for sale on Ebay. It was just listed Sunday night. It has the EVOMS Sport Exhaust on it, not to loud at all. When I hit, you can hear the exhaust and supercharger togther - sounds good! I have the Bilstien PSS9 Suspension on it. It also has carbon Front & Rear Strut Braces as well as 325mm Big Brake Kit. I personally have not tracked it, but saw Todd (Evolution Motorsports) drive it at the track day before I bought it and it was a MONSTER out there!

I was playing with a buddy in a new M5 and he was going nowehere on me. It definitely on my list of cars to buy shortly now.

Just to make things clear, I do NOT think that all Lambo or Ferrarri owners are elitist *******s, just people who behave like Allan. That goes for any car owner that trys to talk down and belittle others.
I make this reponse because of some folks dropping neg rep and not signing there name.
Peace
