    The REAL question is... How is HOVY getting along without HIS R8 ??? The R-tronik with the 24R4 Flash update, feels like a " 'Wanna be DSG " Take care Hovy !! Pretty tough decision huh...TTd, or SCd V8 or the V10, stock, or modified??

    I dunno, over time, I've come to feel the R-Tronic is the best balance of manual and "automatic". I think I'd go R-Tronic again.

    Miiiyahh, it's the one car I missed and still miss. When I see one, it's like seeing a hot ex:, haha. I didn't know about 24R4. Tempting!!! Hope all is well Harry!

    That's good to know. Looks like there's been some progress with the R-Tronic. Doesn't seem like people hate it as much anymore! Good to see you around AnOutsider!

    DD has pre-ordered the entire production run for the first three years. Unfortunately this has left him without any leftover cash to buy a camera, so not only can you not have one, you don't get to see a picture of one either. Sorry to be the one to break the bad news to you.

    LOL @ kthacher.

    DSG should be here in 2012 for 2013 models.

    From Audi Pilot last May..

    [20:43:16] M. Lisowski:
    What about S tronic ?

    [20:46:33] Audi R8 expert Jochen Wagner:
    @ M. Lisowski: S tronic is not available. We have given R tronic an even sportier configuration compared with the R8 V10.

    Hopefully, the S-tronic will appear in the G2 version, if there is a G2 at all!
