    Track Day and Interesting Company

    On another track today since the Mods and picked up 1.78 secs since last visit pre mod.

    This compares favorably with the previous longer track a few weeks ago where I gained close to 4 seconds.

    Also as per pictures below had the latest 430 Scuderia as company...670k Aus$

    One of the nicest grounded guys I have ever meet..totally blew away my perceptions of top end Ferrari owners(whatever they were?)

    Have a great in car video with the Stasis howling away but didn't want to post as there is way too much wind noise with the window open.

    Quite a number came over and mentioned how great the R8 sounded.

    Thanks for sharing! How were the 430's lap times compared to yours?

    Your R8 will be faster then after you get it supercharged? Not sure if you are or not

    Want to and getting very close...but still keep thinking about what I want to do next year.

    I can feel a possible change coming on..maybe a Clubsport if available or a 458.

    a blower on the car will make up the difference, then you'd have a Ferrari killer
