All,

Can anybody comment on how the gearbox performs in the V12 S? Is it smooth when required and fast when pushed? Will it have an appetite for clutches? How does it compare to the getrag double clutch in the 458?

Your advice and feedback please.....

Thanks guys. I will have to try one and see what it's like. My guess is that the DBS will be too slow but good in traffic and the v12vs will be too clunky .....

Thanks Mikey, how civilised was the vanquish when not 'on it'? I currently have a 458 and am looking for something a bit more usable....
