Gallardo clutch

[icebite78]

I havnt heared of any recent clutch issues from owners on here for a while
Stories of being scared to be stuck in traffic seemed to of been doing the rounds on the inter web
and is some what off putting.

I'm looking at a 07 spyder at the moment and the last thing I want to be doing is worrying whilst driving about the certainty of traffic in London,this would guarantee to take the shine off ownership for me

Are clutches still fragile?
Are track days a definately no no ? Would be a massive shame if it is

Does the F1 in a f430 have the same issues? I also never har of clutch issues in regards to the r8 v10 how come is it not the same system
If I want to really use this car and I mean use should I be looking at the German Marques Audi r8/911

I love Lamborghini and I've always promised myself one but I also loved the reliable feeling my r8 v8 gave me, come wind or rain I was never afraid to drive it

I've done the opposite, i was thinking of getting another Gallardo, But went for a test drive in a V10 R8 Spider, My mind was made up instantly. I bought the R8. It's faster, handles better, smoother, just nicer all round than the Gallardo, I can only compare it really to the pre LP, i have owned an 05 coupe and an 07 Spyder. It is in lots of ways similar to the Gallardo but feels more refined. The only thing missing is the lambo badge in my opinion. it's how the Gallardo should be.

So is the r8 v10 noticably quicker than the pre lp?

Actually really happy to hear theres no more clutch issues..just need to find the right car which is proving quite difficult,calisto's ,lifting gear and rear view camera in spyder form,low mileage and good colour seems to be rare just need to be patient i guess.
