These are seriously awesome cars!

Buddy of mine has one - I've been in it and driven it numerous times, every time I do it I'm more impressed, well balanced, great response, comfy.....I give it a '10'

That's on my cousin's short list for new cars, all roadsters. If I find him the right car on west coast, I might drive it back to MN. for him. Could also wind up being a 991 cab...either way should be fast through Montana!

Awesome. I have a friend with one of the recent V10 cars. It's a pretty amazing machine.

R8 feels heavy!

Hi folks,

I love the looks of the R8 (Coupé-version) and the quality of the car (in fact probably the only affordable sports car that I would consider instead of a pre-1990 911).

However, when I compared driving it (the manual Spyder version) to my Carrera Coupé 3.2 I was not overwhelmed, felt very heavy despite of the V10.



Nice car though.

BR
Tomas
