See if you can get the facelift taillights. They are by far the coolest indicators to come out in a while.

Thanks again.... I really feel the wheels came out great. If I didnt already have this set on the R8 I would have considered it easily for the M6.

Nice R8, it still looks sporty but with class because it's not overdone.

I remember you wanting a Gallardo a while back, looks like you got it with a different shell. Congrats!

wow Vic, another noob?
congrats.....you really love your cars man.....so only one Mercedes now eh?
wonder what HRE's you would choose for the 8 if you did switch?
you'll be back again soon for another......who knows what Benz will release in the near future.....so did the 458 you mentioned
not work out? or is it on it's way from Italy?

do any 8's come with one solid body color? just wondering because I have only seen them with the rear panel in a different color....

have fun! keep it under 200

What up Hyp... Im not sure what HRE's I would go with but probably the venerable P40SC's. The 458 was more talk than anything and the price points are very different at this time. YOu can get the R8's with body colored blades but I love the carbon fiber ones even more. Its a very distinguishing characteristic of this car.

yes, p40sc's would be nice, maybe even one of the new S1 series, or even the carbon wheels when they come out
those both seem to have nice sharp, definitive spokes to compliment the R8

Vic, this car setup is phenomenal - wouldn't change a thing. V10, carbon blade, wheels, drop, exhaust, everything looks great.

As always, your cars look great! I remember reading that you were waiting for the DCT tranny in the new 2014 r8 v10.

Did you ever consider the manual version r8 v10 or test drive it? Or do you only prefer auto?

Pretty sure you will trade this car in for the 2014 r8 DCT in a few months anyway lol.

I appreciate the comments- I got very lucky with the exact options I feel.

You are correct about me wanting a DCT but the pricing on this car (new) was too good. And after I drove it I was all good... its very similar to my old 2007 M6- SMG III tranny which shifts very fast with a single clutch. I think the SMG III shifts at very fast speeds but not as fast as a DCT. I did the ECU on this R8 and it improved the tranny responsiveness. Obviously the DCT is better overall but this was a car with options I couldnt pass up.

Did I say that the interior is red?
