be careful not to always be powering hard on that 3rd gear.. eventually it would burn up the synchronizers and it will grind every time you try to shift into it... But your car is basically still brand new at only 24k miles. Nice ride for sure.

Dream Car will become reality soon

I got a 2005.5 Audi Quattro 2.0, love it, esp in Wisconsin winter. It's got lowered suspension so it feels like driving a go cart. I can't imagine not driving a manual. Anything else newer impedes my old school style, not interested. Even if I could afford a new model I'd want to keep the old one and restore it back up. The body style seems timeless, kinda like a 50 year old woman who still gets compliments : ) Cons - oil leak issues, expensive repairs esp with a low suspension.

😍😍

Lol I just moved from Hamilton. Used to go up Sherman access every day

I agree with everything you said about the R8🤩. It’s just perfect in many ways. I felt the same way back in the 90s about my 93 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo 🤩. The R8 has been the only other car to get my attention in the sport car and or super car territory. There are other super cars out there but it’s just something unspeakably great about the R8😇. Thanks for the video. And yeah I’d keep it forever at this point, it’s going to be hard to find them soon or you’ll see some that’s ragged out 🤨.

How do you do a paint correction please?

I remember first seeing this car in person, I was in my parents house and I saw this car on the back of a flatbed, I'm assuming being delivered, it was that light blue with silver side blades and from then on that was my favorite car everytime I see this specific model I was admire the dimensions of it, I know it's not the fastest but the looks more than make up for it. I'm currently studying mechanical engineering in school, so hopefully when I get my wings together I'll be able to afford one in years, I've already been looking on cargurus and such of different R8 models, so hopefully they dont appreciate too much. I never entertained the thought of a manual transmission because I don't know how to drive one. If I do get a manual transmission I would probably just learn on an R8 V8. Do you think the R8 would be a safe car to learn manual on?

2021 r8 is coming with v10 engine

Absolutely agree with CR. Just because the car was made with a V8 and V10 option doesn’t mean the V8 can’t be a supercar. It is all about the entire package. This logic would suggest that due to the V12 options from Lamborghini or Ferrari, none of their other cars could be considered supercars.

One question, why don’t people just go from 5th or 4th to neutral and stop instead of putting stress on your engine by downshifting to engine brake and then to neutral, i see everyone downshift to a low gear and then neutral but I don’t know why

@carswithsonduren

Usually it is seen as a safety precaution in case you do need to accelerate out for an assortment of reasons that you will be in gear. I typically go right into neutral when I come to a stop even from 5th or 4th gear if I can predict it but I know sometimes that is not the greatest thing so if I'm not 100% certain that I will be stopping I will simply downshift
