New R8 owner saying hello!

[Gee Tee Too]

I just picked the car up on Monday and I love it. It's the perfect balance between luxury and sport. I must say that the quality of this car is impeccable! I have owned several exotics from Aston Martins to Ferraris, this car is one of my favorites. The car I bought is an '09, it has 1500 miles with R-Tronic, Carbon Blades, B&O and all carbon options. I also own an '08 Bentley GTC and an '02 Porsche GT2 with an EVOMS GT700 kit and a few other mods, it makes around 800 FWHP.

Here are a few shots:









I'm taking the R8 down to Evolution Motorsports next week for the EVOMS intake and ECU flash. I'm looking to do an exhaust as well. I'm looking for something with a more exotic sound and not so much the muscle car growl, does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!!

Very nice stable. Congrats! I was looking into a D.G. R8 at Audi Chandler. Is that the one?

Check out the Stasis exhaust. Sounds nice. They are on back order. I'm told it will be in at the end of May.

Get ready for all of the attention.

Beats my garage of the R8 and a 2007 Ford Fiesta ST ;-) - I traded down the CLS 63 AMG to get the R8...

No, I saw that one also. This car was at Audi N Scottsdale. It had 1500 miles.

Fantastic - another AZ R8! I'm down in Tucson. Welcome! R8TALK is a great forum and an incredible resource for everything R8. Start searching on "Exhaust" - it will take you DAYS toe get through all the posts - many have links to YOUTUBE videos.

Brian McCauley is our newly formed, self-appointed chapter chairman of the Audi Club NA AZ and works at Audi N Scottsdale. Did you happen to meet him? (I have not)

Hope to see you at one of the events.

Hm, very nice color. Is it really that dark as shown on your pictures?

I'm thinking about getting either lava gray OR daytona gray R8 with black sides*.
I've never seen daytona gray in real life and I can't help but wonder if it's darker than lava gray or not.

* - I'm also thinking a bit about lighter sides, like quartz gray or oxygen silver (but still with either lava or daytona gray body), though at the moment I believe darker sides are more neutral and I should still like them after a year or so of looking at them everyday.
