I love the R8... driven it a few times

R Tronic/S Tronic or the gated 6? Mine is a 6. Love it. A little noisy at first but you get used to it.

Wanna know the car of choice for a lot of my true Tier I operator/personal protection friends for their personal car?

Yes, so multiply by 20 and there’s the number of GT-Rs

Probably some gold plated ones, too. Lol.

Gen 1. The Gen 2 R8 hasn't sold as well. Redesigned front end turns off a lot of people. Rumor is Audi will cease production in 2022, although they're just getting ready to introduce a lower priced turbo 6 that may reinvigorate sales.

Yeah, I think both I’ve driven were 42’s, I know first one was for sure. Drove it in UK which was really hard for me

Owned a 2014 WRX, a step down from the STI. Subaru builds as good a car for they money as you'll find anywhere. The boxer four is a beast of a motor. The car has an undeniable cool factor.

And what you can do with them, especially in the city, is truly amazing

Mine is a 4.2. I've ridden in a v10, which was ungodly fast. It just pinned you back in the seat. They're heavy cars.

The 2014 was a v10

Yeah, they're a very sensible car. When you go up into the mountains like western NC, that's just about the only car driven because of the AWD. Subaru sales in general have really gone up.

In Idaho, after trucks, Subaru is probably most common car I see.

I wish they’d put a turbo on their 2.0’s

Here was my '95 Dodge Stealth R/T Twin Turbo AWD I had for a few years in the early 2000's. I modified it up another 50 horsepower or so and terrorized ricers around Gainesville.

Rare car - only 365 of these were made in 1995.

It used to be the Saab 900. I remember being in Denver in '92 and the city was just full of them. The 900 was a bit of a cult car.

That and its sister, the Mitsu 3000.

And I had a 2008 Chrysler 300C SRT-8. It was an awesome 425-HP beast and was a blast to drive.

When I taught son #1 to REALLY drive (like reverse j turns, pitting...) last year, I did it with a friend’s STI (the reverse j’s, not the pitting! ;) )
