OK I've moved the orginal R8-debate from the photo gallery to here. Which is why the thread seems a bit odd in the last few posts, as the other posts are earlier.
I have visited the shrine...

I'm sure if most of you saw an R8 in the flesh, and even drove one, you'd be far more impressed.
One was at the ring in june, did have some presence about it. I dont mind the looks at all.

Being a fan of Honda engines, I later went to Honda's Tochigi Research Center on two occasions and requested that they consider building for the McLaren F1 a 4.5 liter V10 or V12. I asked, I tried to persuade them, but in the end could not convince them to do it, and the McLaren F1 ended up equipped with a BMW engine.

Just had a gander at this months TG mag, with IOM special! The stig tested some real driver's car, GT3 RS, Capora T1, Ariel Atom, 599 GTB, LP640, New M3, Lotus track car & the R8, What do you know JC & the Stig states the R8 is the winner! Likewise Evo tested the R8 against the Porker Carrera 4S, M6, V8 vanatge and declared a "New Order" (not the band!). Think the R8 is gaining a reputation for being a true drivers car, well built, pratical and awesome to drive. Sorry after my initial doubts, its growing on me slowly!

This week's Autocar is also worth reading - the R8, 911GT3, Murcie are all tested around track and on road. Cayman won last year.

I was an all black R8 on Sunday. very menacing looking.
not exactly pretty but then neither is a Lambo. But very menacing - which is good.
would I buy one? If I had the dosh yes - as a 3rd car simply for playing with.
you really need to see a black one coming at you though.
