Default Sick R8 Spotted in NYC

I was up in NYC for new years and happened to walk right by this R8 just chillin on the sidewalk by Port Authority. That thing is amazing.

Ya they have to be one of the sexiest looking cars out there today. It really wasn't as fast as i thought it should be when i drove it though. A lambo or ferrari would still take it on a straight, although the R8 did handle like a rat on velcro.

Probably some bad *** real estate chick LOL!

Not much you can do to the 4.2L FSI engine though, my old team leader has one apart on his rack right now with a blown tranny in it that STASIS blew up out here, It doesn't look there is even enough room to put a bigger exhaust in the back. I would say a chip is about all you can do, and that probably wouldn't be a good idea on an 80 thousand dollar car.

We got three on our lot at about $75k, plus dealer mark up and tax, so closer to 90, but still a bad *** car for the price.
