Nothing to mine, but went on a photo shoot with this one...

Were you driving the R8?

I am, love that car, beautiful cruiser.

Very cool. Is the R8 stick or auto?

2fcknfst

It's a six speed, and sadly, today was probably the last time I'll drive it, going to a new home.

I would like to drive one of those one day. I've driven a few Lambos which have a similar drivetrain but both were autos.

We were talking about that today, the holy Grail of these cars are v10s and six speeds, which I have never driven either.

2fcknfst

Yup, I love the snickety snick... Immensely satisfying.

I briefly looked into buying one of these before I got into my TT but the suspension stuff is expensive and not too friendly to work on if you dont have a lift.

cool cars though

2fcknfst

Everything on them is expensive.

Lots of engine out stuff for maintenance, gearboxes are spendy, brakes really spendy....

But, a real pleasant driving experience.

im still kind of a ricer..

its really appealing to someone like me that i can turn boost up or down and make power in whatever direction id like where as with making N/A power its $$$$$$$

A Huracan with a 6 speed would be amazing. I was blown away with the power difference compared to the Gallardo. Not too sure a gated shifter would be preferred. I've rowed through the gears in an F355 but just while parked at a friend's wedding. You definitely need to be more precise.

I am loving the new setup and tweaks on the Polar Turbo!

I took my '05 turbo S to PORSCHE DAY AT LIME ROCK track in Connecticut, an event by our CT chapter of PCA. Couple hundred Pcars came, mostly 911s of all models, a gorgeous display by enthusiasts there to talk Porsche. Also swap meet, sponsors displays, food trucks, raffles while watching DE on the track, AutoX in a proving ground, and the big Porsche Parade of at least 100 cars taking 3 laps on the track. Not only did we drive in the parade, but it was a great way to get my wife out in my TT -- top down while cruising to the beautiful northwest of CT on a summer day followed by walking the club cars while eating ice cream.

Many 996s there, not many Turbo, and I think I was the only Turbo S. I must say - our stock 996 TTs are still a bad *** supercar compared to other model years that are stock, younger or older.
I will never sell my Turbo S!
