you wish that was all he did

V10 R8? Or the older V8 one?

FWIW its specs are the same as my VXR8 0-60 in 4.2 and 0-100 in 9 seconds with a 12.6 quarter mile.

Unless its the V10 one, in which case Im sure its faster.

v8, his coupons wouldnt stretch far enough. Looks great with black wheels, never liked them but with the black wheels it sets it off

I do like the R8. I've been lucky enough to drive one and it is a great car, but I did love his Carbon Edition. It's just

I would love a go in the V10 though.

[paramoreg]

you and me both!! DL let me out in a standard 430 before the R8...v nice...they had sold the R8 V10 before I went to drive mine otherwise I'd have blagged a drive!

I might still be able to blag a V10 drive from an audi dealership though...

I also loved my Carbon and could get all 3 kids+wifey in there, though it spent mucho time in garage toward the end with issues over that bloomin' constant thrown aircon belt issue. I know the chap who bought mine landed a £500 repair bill when it came off and caused some other damage, about 2 weeks after I had it all replaced under warranty and sold the car on!!

Did many others suffer the same and if so has it been sorted now? Shorter belt I heard or stronger tensioner but not sure what transpired?

Mine does similar. Im running a very short belt. powerbond in Oz released an upgraded pulley with extra high walls to deal with this, which I hear from the Oz crowd does work.
Sadly my supplied one does not have high walls... But so far belt is staying put I think a pretty short one was put on last time.
Its not SC related, but rather related to faster reving engines, belt gets some slack in it and off it pops.
Solution is shorter belt and aftermarket pulley by most accounts..
