It sure has a brilliant presence though and the V10 exhaust note is worth all the marbles. Since Im not a track master, the R8 (my 4th) is a perfect low budget last normally aspirated 600 plus hp car standing (one of them).

Oh I love my G80- heck its my 2nd!!!!

Great job to the OP too---are you sure you are even matched with your R8 compatriot
Completely agree nothing compares to the NA V10 sounds and feeling it gives.
Clear laps I was about 2 sec faster than him. I drove his car and was running roughly 1 sec faster in the M4
