Christmas Present For Myself
Just got this today.
I would say it was temporary insanity but it's probably permanent. I couldn't help myself. I realized that I'm getting old and life is short. |

Re: Christmas Present For Myself
Wow. That's a couple of really interesting cars.
Do they drive differently? :-) |

Re: Christmas Present For Myself
That is awesome! I've been debating the same thing--a little diversity. GT3 or R8 v10. I'd love to hear some impressions.

Re: Christmas Present For Myself
V10 R8 is at the top of my list.

Re: Christmas Present For Myself
I picked it up and went straight home so I can't say much about it's handling. In the normal setting, I think the suspension is more firm than the ZR-1.
I did drive one on the track at Exotics Racing but have never tracked the ZR-1. I also drove the V10 R8 at Exotics Racing and it was awesome. The torque and sound are great and it feels like it's glued to the track. For me though, the R8 looks too exotic and would attract too much attention. |

Re: Christmas Present For Myself
I am lusting for the Hellcat and the Viper. I would love a chance to run against a GT3 in a Gen V ACR.
Call me crazy but the C7 just doesn't interest me, even a little. Nice Porche! Great Choice. I think it will be more fun than a 911 Turbo.

Re: Christmas Present For Myself
An "affordable" exotic. I would like to get into a mid-engine next time around.
The Alfa 4C is something I'd love to test drive.

Re: Christmas Present For Myself
Nice!! I swear it looks like it's off the ground. Did you consider any other cars or was your mind made up already?
