No experience of R8's JD, have you looked up the R8Talk forum?

Good luck with your research and enjoy the journey.

Engine wise the heads get coked up but I'm assuming your going to be doing some engine work so should give and opportunity to decoke.

MRC Tuning have been running one for a couple of years with a big single turbo but have now twin charged it I think.
 
Please remember Johnny, you've only 3 of those 9 lives left you crazy cat!

Went past 9 years ago dude, had to make a deal !!! Have you sen Ghost Rider?
 
Hi JD - never owned myself but know a couple of guys who have. I understand they are very quick but are a bit soulless - nothing like the love you'd have a Porker.

Interested to hear what your thoughts are after a few months ownership - only guessing here but predict you'll be after another turbo porker before long.... :thumb:

Keep us all informed how you get on m8

AFAIK anotherGT2 had one :dont know:
 
Just make sure you get one with the illuminated engine bay :thumb:

There's a 'kid' on youtube 'DedicationBlog' that had a V8 now has a V10 and gives you his impression, running costs, doing donuts etc :what:
 
Bought it anyway and it does have the illuminated engine bay, sorry guys this car is light years ahead of a 996 it makes it feel like an escort, now the guy driving was quick but it would decimate a 996 round roundabouts and tight corners, straight line speed is about equal, but I'm sorry its 3 times the car a 996 is, now a 997 diff matter, but its cheaper than a 997, hate to say I'm converted and Medicus is getting one next week.
 
Sounds great, I hope you are hanging around so we can hear more about it.

You won't get rid of me that easily, I might even get a carrera and have a track day slag.
