Rented a 21' Audi R8 for a week

The R8 seems like a very complete execution in what Audi wanted it to be. While I would be thinking a bit more about extreme stuff that we won't see

The R8 seems like a very complete execution in what Audi wanted it to be. While I would be thinking a bit more about extreme stuff that we won't see anymore (like Vipers), it must be nice to be in an R8 knowing it has less of a singular usage as a sports car.

Each to their own with tastes. I take issue with the sound of the stock exhaust, in terms of the kind of lacking quality behind it. It's just not a rich or clear sound with pleasant progression, and I get the obvious that it's because it's literally muffled, but I don't necessarily see a point in pursuing louder volume.

It's kinda like "loud for what?" This car is no longer *that* fast. This isn't quite as bad as like, Civics at 3AM, but (no offense to anyone) is an FBO Z really that big of a deal to make so much noise?

The ideal sound in my mind would be something like the Evora 400
