    Yes Im very happy with it.
    It isnt nearly as fast as the Porsche , that was close to 600 bhp but im loving the n/a power delivery.

    From Porsche K24 to R8...almost my same choice!

    I had a 996 TTS with a few mods before the Audi...and I'm happy with the R8 (really comfortable and easy to drive)...but I really miss the Porsche braking!!! The R8 rotors are really bad when breaking over 155 mhp.

    They do look bigger as the spokes go to the edge of the rim , it is on H&R springs but all these mods were done by the last owner.
