Default R8 v10 to 2015 GT3

Just traded in my R8 for 2015 GT3. So far no regrets. I am so amazed by the pdk. I had a manual on R8 and I never though I would like auto transmission in a sports car. Had sharkwerks exhaust placed on first day. So far am happy with my decision

Congrats on the new GT3! Amazing car. Never need to look back. SW exhaust is great. Love mine.

Congrats! I used to have s Stasis tuned V10 R8. I think you're going to find the GT3 a more exciting, visceral experience.

Congrats! I've had 2 R8's, 1 6 speed, 1 R-Tronic, and they are absolutely incredible daily drivers. Love them. The GT3 is WAY more refined somehow.

I've had 4 r8, including a v10+ 6 speed I just picked up. I like the r8 over my 991 gt3.
R8 (with an exhaust) is a much funner car on the street. My opinion...

Love the yellow. Driven R8. Nice but it's no GT3. I think you chose wisely and you can drive a GT3 without seeing resale value disappear into the abyss.

Test drove 2017 R8 Plus and was impressed. Car looks MUCH improved over prior Gen. Ride quality was very nice over not so perfect roads, brakes were fantastic and power was incredible. Without a doubt it pulls MUCH harder then GT3. In the end I picked 2016 GT3 though. The hard core push in me won over the Audi.
Just my .02c

Ryan is a GREAT guy. He has file saved so it can easily be replicated. Vinyl is an Avery product and is almost dead nutz close to the color of my rims.

He did this too and obviously this is all "printed" on "blank' vinyl.

IMO, now it just looks like another Audi in the lineup, where in the past it really looked like a special car.
