You're spot-on. Driving the 355 compared to the R8 is like comparing apples and oranges. They definitely don't drive at ALL alike. The 355 is...
HA! I don't know, Dave - the R8 has gotten loads of praise for its looks. But more importantly, I think it's pretty stunning. It has a...
It may be coming to that, Dave - we'll see! Funny - I bumped into J. Salmon over at the R8 forum when I went there recently lamenting on this...
So just a quick update here. I've continued to investigate my options, and I've seriously added the R8 V10 to the mix now. I spent a good deal...
True - but like all exotic purchases, I'm sure rational thought has little to do with it. :) I'm just not attracted to those cars... beautiful...
Still on the hunt for a decent 355F1 GTS, I've actually lobbed a call into my Audi dealer to inquire about an R8 V10. The 2015's start production...
Henry - I'm here in CT and don't get it either, so I'm guessing not a New England joke... but that said, I'm originally from NY. :) Looks like...
A few recent threads here (the stolen 348, thread on alarms, etc) have gotten me thinking about a pretty common problem (or so I would suspect)......
Ha! Brings back memories - I played that thing routinely when I was in college! Like another poster said above, I probably could have bought one...
Terrible... And very ballsy in the light of day, not a care for anything (including the guy apparently videoing them from above). Hope they get...
I have to agree with John here that there's a big difference between knowing how to take apart (and even put back together) a machine and then...
If you could tear the middle of the roof off and stick some paddles behind the steering wheel, I'd love to have it! :) All kidding aside, that...
I can relate to the OP's question insomuch as the cost to maintain the car isn't the total cost of ownership. When a company does a TCO analysis,...
The R8 is a beautiful car. It has a lot of design elements in common with a traditional mid-engine Italian sports car, like the 355. I think it...
Thanks to the moderators for banning this guy. Sounds like this guy had a complex where he felt people of any means looked down upon him, and he...
That "goofy" F1 gearbox was the first of its kind in any road-going car - while not for everyone, it's undeniably an important inflection point in...
John - glad to hear everyone was OK. 85k miles on that dinosaur? Not much for an 18 year old BMW... hell, I traded my 07 335i for a 14 550xi...
A lot of great advice here... and a lot of opinions coming from different vantage points... all very appreciated. I'm keeping the hunt going for...
DJ - Two great pictures! That's a beautiful vette! Yes, I completely agree with you on the versatility of the GTS, and it's exactly why I desire...
While sad to see, it's nice to know the car will be coming back alive again through a loving restoration!
