half Gaucho from Brasil, half from Uruguay. exported to canuk land, on the poutine side before i could learn to write in portuguese but i speak fine and with that southern tone heheheh...

back to the R8, it weights in at 3434 lbs (bit heavy there), so a ratio of 8.2
the Gallardo is at 3153 (i tought it was way heavyer) for a ratio of just 6.1
the Murci tips the scale at 3637 lbs, so with 580 hp, the ratio will be at 6.3

wow, the gallardo is ... then the murci... wait...

2007 Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera 2997/530=5.65 <!!!
2007 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 ......3670/640=5.73

wow! ...but:

2006 Gallardo has a 4 seconds 0 to 62
the '06 Murcielago clocks in at 3.8
while the Superleggera also is 3.8
and finally, the LP640 does it in 3.3

oh and for not going too off topic, the R8 does it in 4.4

so basicly what suxorz is the gallardo E-gear! how much transmission/powertrain can you get for U$80 000? Thats the price between the SL and the LP... don't forget that performance wise, the lighter it is, the faster around the bends and the better for the brakes and tires...
