    Appreciate everyone taking the time out to post. I think the verdict is if I'm buying egear I need to find one to drive. Maybe link up with some downstate NY guys during a meet or something and bring my R8 and see if anyone will let me drive one.

     

    I'm selling my gated v10 R8 for this car which I enjoy, but always had an itch for the Lamb.

    The problem with E Gear is its all a matter of personal opinion. Ive driven a 2006 G and a 2011 Superleggera fairly extensively and personally? I loved them. My only DCT experience is with the Current BMW M4. I feel the DCT is too smooth. Un-involved. I prefer the harder shifts of a single clutch, but again, its my personal opinion and others simply don't. My first paddle car was an 03 M3 with the SMG, and apparently I was one of the few without any issues with it, and truthfully loved it. Do I prefer to row gears? Absolutely. But rolling into a turn and experiencing perfect downshifts with the flick of your wrist is a pretty damn good time in my book. I don't think it took anything away.

     

    With that said, the E Gear cars are a dime a dozen. So if you are truly interested in one, start the convo with a dealer and tell them you need to drive it before you buy anything.

     

    Thanks for your quick reply. Part of the issue is I live in Rural NY and there isn't much around here to drive. I will have to travel, and how OCD I am with my cars I will likely have something shipped to me thats exactly what I want.

    Was hoping I could post here about having an educated discussion regarding the Gallardo's (2008) egear transmission.

     

    It seems if you post anywhere, people immediately say it sucks (I know 90% of these people have never driven the car). So I figured LP.com would be a logical place to get some information.

     

    I realize it will not have the same feel, or quickness of the GT-R DCT, I also own an M6 that has a DCT as well. I own a manual V10 R8 now which is a joy to drive but can't help feeling like I want to get into a (2008) Gallardo LP cars slightly out of budget. I've always wanted one but never pulled the trigger.

     

    Can someone give me some real world experience how the egear drives compared to other high end cars or something I can assimilate it to?

    You'll hate the answer, but my speculation is you'd have to contact an office dealing with real estate transactions of sorts locally to each area to source the information. I'm not entirely sure how forthcoming European's are about that information either.

     

     

    This is correct.

     

    I am a real estate Broker, only way to track global sales is contact local offices unfortunately. Also, may be difficult to get this information for free even from local sources.
