    Re: R8 Little write up from Automobile Mag.

    Thanks, Ron. I noticed a couple errors though:

    1. The tranny is a sequential manual like Lambo E-gear (and BMW SMG and Ferrari F1), not DSG.

    2. The magnetic ride is on the F599, not F430 (and on Corvette C6 and Cadillacs)

    I know after I read it completely it's full of errors .


    And as to my specs

    - Jet Blue with silver sideblades (kind of like the concept car)
    - Black leather interior
    - B&O Sound system
    - R-tronic
    - Ceramic Breaks
    - LED lighting system (the engine bay gets the LED too with this option I guess)
    - 19" rims
    - Bluetooth
    - iPod connection (if available)

    This spec should finalize my divorce pretty soon
