RAN AN AUDI R8 V10 TODAY.. BOOOYAHHH

So I was coming back from a meeting today mining my own business when I notice a white car behind me moving thru traffic. Wait a couple of seconds and notice an R8, (brand new no plates), TAIL UP and moving, I immediately move in right behind him, have a chance to take an opening and move in to see if he wants to go, He Does.. We move side by side at 70 or so and I give him the 3 honks we are off, I was in 3rd and just let her rip to 160/165 and back off, pilled on him by "at least" 5 car lengths (hard to tell at that speed and I don't like to look back at that speed)..

He was cool gave a "Big" thumbs up and moved on way.. SO MUCH FUN to destroy these 150k plus cars, just made my week... (Of course all this took place in Mexico)...

Yeah it was really good looking, white with black stripe and seemed to have custom wheels.. I was lucky to drive one at exotics racing in LV it was really well balanced in the corners and the new ones have the dual clutch tranny which is Really nice..

Still DID NOT even compare to the 458 Italia I drove that car is AWESOME..
