In my case I got a 6-speed for two reasons:
- DAT SOUND on the gated shifter. Nothing can beat that.
- When doing the clutch, if it is a manual, it is a piece of cake. If you get the e-gear then the car needs to have the computer reset to 'read' the new clutch thickness and that can only be done by the computer at the dealer. I looked at some used ones on Ebay (they pop up every once in a while) but they go for $12,000+. Way too much for me to justify buying one. The manual transmission avoids all this hassle.
Some of the stuff on the Lambos is indeed crazy expensive.
