Made a mistake...
 

...drove a new 5.2 V10 R8 today and then jumped into my car afterward...

Now granted it is a $170,000.00 car, but dam that car is fast! Now I've driven 4.2 R8s multiple times on the track even, but this car would walk the 4.2 R8 easily!
Point I'm leading to is even though our cars are very good, a twin turbo
upgrade would fit well because my car seemed like a slug afterwards!!

Anyone who is local to Atlanta, it is being parked in the showroom at
Jim Ellis Audi in Marietta next to the 4.2 right now if interested.
It's also for sale...
Thought I'd share!
:tiphat:

Thanks for sharing!!! I think the V10 R8 is VERY cool!!!

so stuff a TT in your z and then compare right?

If i wasnt in Utah i would be on my way!

That's awesome that you got to drive that. R8's are stunning cars.

where are the pics???????? :shakes head:

All I have is my phone for pics 2day! Won't be the best!!

12.1 quarter mile and 3.6 0-60.... I would imagine that the 370z feels sluggish afterward.

Each car serves it purpose... and the 370 is no supercar.

Although I agree a TT would be fun, I like jumping on my bike for even much quicker numbers than those at the price of 10k... I can bounce it off the 16,000rpm redline on 93 oct and still have a nice relaxing ride to go for a cruise.

something is better than nothing

There is always something better. Be happy with what you have.

They let you just walk in and drive one? Sweet!

AWESOME! I would love to drive one (even the 4.2L model). I saw one the other day. Looks amazing :drool:

If I remember correctly, he works for Audi. :tup:

Love the audi...but GTR has better numbers for less though.

I drove a 4.2 R8 in pouring rain on a racetrack....one of the best experiences of my life! The event entailed 8 laps in RS4s followed by 8 more laps in the R8s. On the wet, slippery-as-ice track in the pouring rain, the RS4s were absolute dogs. They were all over the track on the corners. Then came the time in the R8s and I think my jaw was in my lap the whole time. They corner like they are glued to the track despite the downpour conditions. The highlight was screaming down the back straight at 150mph with 2 car lengths between each of the 6 R8s being driven, and all we could see through the windshield was whiteout spray and the taillights of the R8 in front of us.

Amazing day, Amazing car. I lust for an R8, but my Z keeps me thrilled in the 'real world'.

That is what really annoys me. You can get a better car for less money today but people still clamour to buy more expensive cars because of the image and the percieved superiority. I canot stand people who buy things cause of the iamge it creates for them and how it makes them feel knowing that other people are looking at them. They are seeking acknowledgement from these other people in order to satisfy theor own insecurity.
