Yeah, with all the chicks (that gave him their phone number) dancing in the background!

This become a great thread! Keep on going!
BTW, back to original topic...
Ceramic Brakes(both fronts and rears 380mm/6caliper!!) are optional from mid MY07(December 2006) and they currently cost 12.000Euro without local VAT(or Mwst).
...and now a little clue why is every Gallardo from MY2007 little bit faster as manual then e.gear!
In German(hopefully native Germans like Rossi or MKSGR will help here with translation!):
"Der Gallardo in Männerausführung, also mit manueller Handschaltung, kann unter kundiger Hand eine Idee schneller als die E-Gear-Variante beschleunigen (siehe Test des baugleichen 2005er Gallardo SE E-Gear). Der Grund ist, dass bei der E-Gear-Schaltung auf Kundenwunsch das Einkuppeln entschärft wurde. Kunden der ersten Exemplare hatten sich darüber beschwert, dass der Gallardo E-Gear zu scharf anfahren würde (was suchen die eigentlich in einem Lamborghini ?!). Als Reaktion programmierte man das E-Gear so um, dass die Kupplung nun beim Anfahren stark schleift. Das muss man im "technisch rückständigen", handgeschalteten Gallardo nicht hinnehmen, sondern kann die Kupplung beim Anfahren richtig reinhauen. Zukunft bedeutet eben nicht immer Fortschritt... "
This info is TRUE! And it is a reason that Gallardo(all 520hp versions) is little bit faster both in straight line and on the track in manual version then e.gear... Also manual is 5kg lighter as well but, you won't find that info in official Lambo papers...

Interesting quote Is it taken from sportauto?
Basically, they state that the new egear has a different programming, resulting in more slippage of the clutch when launching the car. While this increases comfort it does cost some performance compared to an optimal acceleration process in a car with manual transmission.

IMHO your Gallardo look much better then your 997 turbo...
And it is also faster on any race track...
Having driven the Gallardo now I must agree: the 997TT has only one advantage over the Gallardo: its modest design. Otherwise, the Gallardo (the SL in particular) is simply superior in each and every category
modest design is an advantage?
Only in Germany, I guess...

12k would be 14.280 Euro including VAT in Germany. I always thought Lamborghini's carbon-ceramic brakes sell for around 11k?
Anyway, they are still cheaper than the Ferrari counterpart...

What about the ceramics? How do they feel compared to the iron version?

Well... This Gallardo Ceramics use pretty hard pads so, they have hard pedal feel on cold brakes. Also when cold you have a few milimetars of nothing then brakes could feel even over servoassisted. BUT, when warm they are amazing! Powerfull, consisten pedal feel and with shortest braking distance of all sportscars. Also they will use little bit softer pads from MY08...
IMHO they are not a must(specially for US buyer with speed limits) but, I would order them in a second!
