So I've had my '06 Gallardo SE for a couple of years and I'm thinking of adding an Aston Martin V8 Vantage to my garage. I'm considering a 2012 car with the Sportshift II transmission. The Sportshift II is a 7 speed single clutch transmission. My question here is whether there are any guys who have experience with that second generation transmission who can compare its drivability compared to my E-gear tranny

I have driven a 2013 v12 vantage with speedshift tranny. It was slow and clunky compared with my LP 550-2 tranny. Nice car though.

Yeah, 500 lb and 35 hp does make a difference. But what did you mean by clunky? I presume your LP550 is an e-gear?
