That's good that you had no problem on that 5 hour drive, I wonder what the hell I did wrong.

And you're right, I knew there was a car I was failing to mention, I forgot about the Huracan. Still think the 650S is a better looking car but the Huracan is most certainly higher quality. Of course the AMG GTR is another option too.
I may be alone in this, but I do not place the AMG GTR in that group.

Performance is outstanding, but the car (and Mercedes in general) is not special, IMO.

Not all bad when it comes to these cars.
Yes it is, great thing to suffer from.

rkd - I agree. Might be too track oriented also.

Having both a 991.2 C4s and a 5.2 R8, I would say that the reaction you get from the public will be quite different, the 650S will have folks taking pics/video due to the exotic nature of the car. Nobody notices me in the Porsche and frankly, I prefer not to be noticed. I bought the R8 for the V10 and while I get a unique enjoyment out of the Audi, I keep it in storage while the Porsche is in the garage and gets driven every week. Have owned 7 P cars and thought the R8 would cure my addiction, comparatively there is nothing like driving a Porsche at the limit. My next build will be a TTS. I'm over driving cars that everyone else likes and have resolved to feed my habit based on what I like.
