There are some tricks to engaging the clutch with e-gear. A fast jab of the throttle (but not a lot of throttle, maybe 5-10%) will engage it quicker than slowly increasing to 15-20% throttle. The speed with which you hit the accelerator usually determines how quickly the clutch will engage .. so high speed + low throttle results in a fast gentle engagement.
The take off is not a good experience with e-gear compared to 6 speed. After you get moving, the e-gear is amazing. But, agreed, if you do a lot of stop and go, the e-gear is not as strong of a feature

I absolutely agree.
E-gear isn't for everybody and if you are going to use the car in a lot of traffic or at low speed (posing!) then it's like walking through a minefield. The concentration required to avoid headbutting the car in front will have you sweating like a P. I. G.
I think e-gear is superb but I live in open countryside with lots of curves and hills, and very little police activity. I have had to drive through some horrendous traffic and it just makes me appreciate the open road behaviour more.
If I do have a criticism it's that the paddles on the Murci are bigger and easier to use than the Gallardo's, which should make the Murci even more fun.
