Nice car and awesome plate!
I liked the wheels that where already on the car more than the other ones.
But it's your car, so your choice
Congrats!

 

congrats, nice combo you've got...glad you like the V10, I've got the V8 version except is with the crappy R-Tronic tranny...

 

I've never tried it, but from what I've read it's really not all that bad for fast driving -- just a bit jerky in stop and go traffic but I think I've read that manual mode isn't as bad. It will definitely up and down shift faster than a manual when you're at the track!

 

Congrats to the R8, looks like you are having real fun with it and enjoy it.

Great review, and a beautiful car!!

 

Congrats on the car!! Looks great

 

Congrats on the car man.

But compare to a Cayman? Really? uhm, er...no. 2 completely different league of cars. But glad you like the Audi.

 

congrats !

 

congrats!!
wow man you really gave some fresh perspective!
a couple of friends have V8 R8s, and i was never impressed to be honest and never bothered to take on any of their offerings for a test drive.
however based on what i have been reading about the V10s, i cannot wait to try one out

 

I don't think is even worth to try it, it's really jerky even though my car was built around July '08. I always wanted to try out a 6-spd manual r8 like your's but sadly the dealer told me that they don't bring in the manual's anymore & they will be bringing only the R-Tronic, all though the first batch of R8's were manual & they are only 4 of them in Singapore.

 

The box in the front trunk is an aftermarket Audison amplifier.

Agreed completely - especially the V10 - but it's the only other sports car I've driven so figured it's better than nothing. At least they have the engine in the same place


Do you ever post on R8 talk? I've seen threads where people say after about a month of driving they've got it working smoothly. You will always feel the jolt when shifting unlike the double clutch gearboxes but some people really like their R-tronics!
