I perhaps may prefer the yellow but just reluctant as my zed is yellow. I love the orange just as much and the one I have been looking at has the 06 Callisto wheels (£5k!!) and Tubi zorst (£2.5k!!!) but is manual! I think Im gonna struggle to find the exact spec I want without going waay over budget
WHy do you prefer the E-Gear over the manual?
First off the egear is cool and i'm a sucker for gadgets like that
Secondly the egear applies hardly any strain on the clutch which is the weakpoint of the Gallardo. I have been reading up over the last few days and there are a lot of horror stories about of people having to pay £4k for a new clutch to be fitted and it then going again 300 (yes 300) miles later
I know the BMW M6 SMG limits the power some how to ensure clutches don't burn out. They have just bought out an M6 manual and the first gear apparently is noticeable restricted. Sounds like the germans have held the manual back until it is product tested and reliable. The thing to remember though is 4 wheel drive means great traction so lots of stress on the drive train. A 2 wheel drive car will wheel spin.
£4k for a clutch though is daft. I've got an Alcon Paddle Race clutch in the Cossie. Cost about £400 and is rated over 500 bhp. So far it's took loads of pounding on the track. You may find companies like AP and Alcon do a replacement for Lambo's, especially if they are raced. However, I agree though that the standard clutch should be up to the job and rated to handle more than the standard power.
Agred about the clutch mate. At the money the Gallardo costs you'd expect it to be fit foe purchase. The thing is I've read losts of zed owners moaning about their clutches going. Someone on here paid £1k for the stealer to fit it. Those people are a minority of zed owners and I've never had any trouble with mine. I'm hoping the same principle applies to the lambo
@D4V3GT4 : Wrong number mate Got the right one off google though and and have just been quoted £3062 from them Nice one mate, I owe you a drink for that
