    How long until you felt like you were getting full power from your R8?

    Interested to know roughly what everyone's mileage was at before they hit the full potential of the engine?

    With a low mileage of around 2000 does anyone know how much less power you experience?

    Not sure. But my car reached FULL power round the 12000-15000KM mark. She's running sweet now!!

    Oh I put my foot down, but not in a "I'm gonna catch up to the car that's just a twinkling on the horizon" sort of way
