That's probably about right. One thing I've noticed is that sometimes you see, oh you have to get a new clutch every 10K miles, well, there are many guys that talk about how they have 30K plus miles on their clutches and still going strong, so you see things all across the board with a Lambo

In person, actually I think I've seen one before, but they are rare around my area

Devryn17 · 01-30-2014, 04:04 PM

I'm really curious...How do you go from a 1LT Camaro to a Lambo? Did you make a deal on Shark Tank or something?

Yeah, what is that thing on the drivers seat? I hope its not the "rear" entertainment system.

In fairness, the design is almost 8 years old now, so I can see how you wouldn't be that impressed now. There have been some crazy and badass designs introduced since then that make the r8 look very tame. Either way though, they're badass cars.

There was a guy at school that had an R8 around 3 years ago. He was the only guy with such a car and it was bad ass. Everyone, and I am saying EVERYONE could help but to look at the car. He did treat it as any other car though and parked it next to our normal cars. (I had a 97 Civic at the time)

R8's are pretty rare aound me, but when I see them they still make me turn my head and go DAMN!

Q'smuscle · 01-31-2014, 10:35 AM

R8 's are sweet looking to me! I don't like to many lambos or Ferrari's ! To most , it's the name though! I'd rather have a old school 60's camaro with a 100k put into it.

That's great! It's always nice to hear that a small business is managing to be successful in today's market.

It's really hard to beat a R8 for a every day exotic that can inspire confidence and be driven comfortably in all sorts of situations, a close second would be a new 911. Most everything else will just become a headache especially a 14 year old Lambo
