On the AM topic, a new one in all black passed me yesterday. That thing is sexy as hell. The rear hips, and diffuser look phenomenal and it sounds amazing. The black hid the grille pretty well too, which is the one area of the design I'm not too fond of. As with all cars these days, I liked the old smaller grille a lot more.

I think the V8 sounds great. And it pulls hard. Even has decent power below 4000 rpms. But for me, the R8 is heavy and has all wheel drive. It’s really hard to kick the rear out. Everything felt premium. But like premium VTEC. It’s not my bag and honestly my e92 m3 had a better soundtrack. Both engines lack a lot in torque though.
