I have the 4.2L in my truck, so trust me, I know how awesome that power is!

But seriously, nice ride and congrats. I too thought O\T stood for overtime.

Great cars. Drove both the v8 and v10 versions.

Haven't decided if I want one of those or the Lambo though...

I have a friend who has the R8 and a friends dad that has numerous exotics and has also owned both the gallardo and the R8 and both are very nice cars and a lot alike. It's a shame the Audi does not have the same noise the lamb has seeings they have the same engine but in my eyes the lamb takes it by a hair. I'm partial to the lambo though. They are my dream car but I wouldn't turn an R8 down lol

The V10 is loud. Very loud. Which is good, but ultimately was a reason why I went with the V8. I'm going to drive this thing often, as in a semi-daily driver, which is another reason I went for the R-tronic, so I actually preferred the V8 sound. The V10 is very loud inside compared to the V8. The R8 shares about 15% of it's parts with the Galllardo. I personally peferred the looks of the R8 to the Lamborghini, and the cost as well, but the Gallardo is nice!

I was torn for a while. I would typically go for a 911 or a Vantage, but I just think the Audi is an all around incredible car. It may not beat a Lambo or a Ferrari in a straight line, but it's overall handling and performance coupled with it's ability to be driven often and comfortably was the endgame. Not to mention that I think that the R8s shut lines are exquisite. I never considered the Chevrolet, but perhaps I should have!

Wouldn't you think it would be a tad random for someone to just post that they bought an R8 and be lying? Actually, now that I think about it, I could see that. I'll get you your pics as soon as I can. Hopefully this weekend.
