what?!?!?!

Ive driven the SL and it sport mode I was bumping off the limiter, as was the salesman. TOTAL BS

The E gear was fun, but would get old. I even had a breif moment going full throttle from 1st through 4th with the peddle to the floor thinking to myself, "man this is f*cking lame and boring and like a video game".....then I slammed on the breaks!!! , now thats a rush!!

E gear is for those that cant drive but still want to be seen in a Lambo or Ferrari....or for the wives.
You're droping 250k ish on a toy, the 10k loss for the stick is nothing. In fact when you sell, having one of a handful of cars that are manual will more than make up the 10k difference.

buy the 6 speed

Unless your friend is selling thin mints and likes to dress up as a girlscout, he should get the 6-spd.

Oh wow

This is becoming a debate between purists and open minded enthusiasts.

If he gets the E-gear he is a little girl.

If he gets the Manual he is slower.

You guys crack me up, I think he is going with e-gear though, I am not sure if manual is even an option anymore, he was told they aren't making anymore Superleggera's so unless he found a dealer that had one on order that could be changed he couldn't order the manual.
