    Talking V10 Spyder soon to arrive

    Great news today. Our dealer advised us that our new spyder is loaded on the ship and enroute to Brunswick, Ga. Hopefully at the dealer before month-end, where we'll pick her up for the first drive home! ETA 8/13 at the port and then the typical initial prep, truck transport, more dealer prep and then delivery!!!

    Meanwhile, my "new" 427, big block, '67 Corvette convertible loaded on a truck today from Anaheim, CA and should be here by the end of this week!
    Great car overload!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Stum
    Sounds like the best of both worlds to me. Old fashion big block corvettes are just so much fun. then the R8 V10 spyder will just be a great combination

    That will certainly be a "Beauty and the Beast" combo. My wife has a '73 Stingray which she restored herself (red/black). Those old Corvettes don't have much of a chassis by today's standards, but they certainly make up for it with their wonderful presence.

    Re: V10 Spyder soon to arrive

    My dealer in Nashville called me today to tell me that my Spyder has shipped. Apparently the factory is bringing in a White Spyder for a showing on 8/17. It's a crazy look/no touch show but I guess champagne and a V10 just don't mix. Hopefully before month end I'll be posting pics.

    What does the 'Carbon Fiber Exterior Pkg' consist of on the Spyder?

    The only carbon fibre option on the Spyder as far as i know are the mirror housings, unless the USA have different spec available?

    The Carbon Fiber Sigma Exterior pkg (option code YUP) is the front spoiler tip and the rear diffuser and was coded as special order only......whatever that means. I truthfully thought everything on the car was special order but what do I know?

    The carbon diffuser looks awesome! Saw one at my dealer recently and was mightily impressed.
