Ready.... Auto down shift throttle blip and very fast to suit a quick rate of down shift coming in fast to a roundabout... Love itCarpet finish in the glove box is a nice little touch alsoReally happy so farAll great features, mine and stripes has exactly the same. I tend to find something new the car can do each week. I like that the car will hold on a hill no foot on brake or accelerator. And that with the park brake on , just accelerate and drive off and it turns off by itself.

Particularly cool when using the paddles. I was reading up last night and MY15 R8 is supposed to have paddles JET...so not sure what your dealer was up to there...Needs new wheels and low I reckon. Still trying to make my mind up about the spoiler though...Looks tough though man, gotta be happy with it!No trans cooler for me, lame :(Things I would like from your car; HSV seats, trans cooler, AP brakes, LS3.

How many settings do you have for yours? I don't have the dial like yours, I just have normal and then it firms up the steering in competition mode.
