Default Told ya the weather was better...

I find myself looking for excuses to drive much more often in this car than any other. Went to lunch at Sundance Resort not because of the food but for the hour long drive on a twisty 2 lane road.

Looks awesome! The R8 makes a 911 look really old (and I even have one!)

That's not right. You should have more horsepower than watts..

Default Thanks

I don't see the Suzuka Grey very well before but these pictures shows it better. Is it kinda very light grey? Metallic?

The metallic nature is what makes it great, the beauty of clean white look but with metallic to help the shape of the car really pop.
