But to each his or her own...
Well, for me, I have been turned down time after time for the racing time on the national/international circuit. I cant recall the last time I took any of cars to a track and "raced" it, maybe quick around the track for a few laps on a "sancutined" track day..no more than 5 miles total. The fact "documented" that the F-1 and E-Gear clutch units (made by the same source for both Lambo and Ferrari-differnt software) is proven to last 30% LESS than a 6 speed manual box..that is is still illegal to "race" your car on the public streets....the fact that every one has one...

well for these reasons I will still prefer to to "old fashion" row my own..costs lees up front, cost less down the road, more unique all the way around, need a stop watch with 1/100 second counter to really detect the differnce in speed shifting, will still easily do a 100MPH as well AND MOST of all...is the true joy of operating a car with all the senses..and skill required to operate...

Yes for me still the 6 speed...anyone can push or pull a piece of small paddle....just not me...like "speed" dating..maybe faster, but it sure aint as fun as the "old fashion" chase, catch and release.

I bet he will. I really liked the e-gear in the '08 Gallardo Spyder and I'm sure it's even better in the SV.
