I bought my 2004 Gallardo with 4000 miles on it, back around Christmas time last year...it has about 13,000 on it now...I have raced it on a road racing course, and I drive it hard, all the time. The clutch works the same today as it did the first day I bought it.
I can not imagine anyone buying a Gallardo to be a drag racing machine...there are plenty of lame drag racing machines coming out of detroit...and I see zero driving skills associated with drag racing.
The Gallardo is a road racer for the street--embrace it's strength.
If you want to beat a $20,000 muscle car off the line at the traffic light, every time one challenges you, then the punitive aspects of having to replace the clutch may well be appropriate :-)
