If u decide in the future make sure to drop a video too

I'll be in my bunk!

Ill probably always be a part of this forum and make a thread in here about it. Yeah, Ill most certainly be getting a gen 2, 2018-2019, pre facelift. Already eyeballing color and over all interior. Just waiting!

You’ll love it. Wifey and I love our TT RS.

Iiirc, by getting the prefacelift r8, you’ll avoid getting stuck with the gpf (gas particulate filter) which makes the exhaust quieter. May be part of the reason you felt the newer one you rented was too quiet.

A set of headers and Ti cbe make that motor scream. I believe akrapovic has some nice options.

I’m biased but Audi makes the best interiors in the business, high quality, excellent ergonomics, sporty and luxurious w/o being over the top either way and they age well.

If you pull the trigger, you won’t regret it. That motor wrapped in that package is gonna be a future collectible. It may be the last na v10 left still in production.

Congratulations I’m glad you enjoyed it the R8 is an amazing vehicle. I had the opportunity to drive four laps at the track in an R8 before great experience. The maintenance schedule on the R8 will take that of a trust fund baby to pay for it.

The GTR is comparable though. Be happy with owning your Z I am!

not an r8 fan myself. But I could get down with TTRS for sure. Audi makes some beautiful cars. Especially their lighting.
