    New R8 nearly here?

    I called the R8 Customer Service number earlier this week to get confirmation that my car was built last month and was on schedule to be delivered mid June.

    I get a call back today to say that the car has been delivered to San Diego, that it's been released to the carrier and should be delivered to the dealer next week.

    Guess I'd better make sure I've got the $$$ to pay for it...

    Cool. Looks like there is going to be a few more R8 on Bay area roads by next week.
    So you'll be able to drive the car stock for a bit and then give us a good report on the effect of that blower you are putting on it?

    Vrooommm.

    Congrats. You may be the first on these boards with a blower on the V10!

    Unlikely. I'm number 18 and I would expect somebody else here to be ahead of me. They start installing in July. I expect they'll get round to me in August, which will be perfect as I'm travelling then. The car can sit in the dealership instead of my garage.

    Pics will be posted when it arrives!
