R8 Buyers Guide

[Skipe]

Evening All,

I'm seriously thinking of moving to an R8 (Probably V8 Coupe), much as I'll be devastated to sell my stunning TVR it's time for a change. Can any of you PH owners point me in the direction of a buyers guide, tips, issues/mod's to look out for etc?

Sorry if this is a regular post on here folks.

Cheers.

Thanks for the tips everyone, good to see the PH forums are still predominantly full of good guys. I wonder what I would of had from the 911 lot

I'm pretty sure I don't need a V10, but I do want a coupe and not an auto. That is about all I'm certain on at present! I like the idea of the exhaust upgrade as going from my Spitfire sounding TVR is going to be hard enough as it is.

Dr G - Thanks for all the detail, really appreciate it.

Tony - When we've both sold up do you want to arrange some joint ex-TVR councilling sessions?
