ex IS-F owner turns to the dark side >R8 v10
#80
Some people consider my NSX exotic but I don't really think of that car as one either.
My plan is to pick up a 458 sometime next year if things go well. I think the 458 is one of the few logical upgrades to an R8. The 430 and Gallardo are simply the same level of car.
P.S. I did want to add, if you do go with an R8, get the v10 and make sure it's a 6MT. The manual tranny is what makes the R8 special hearing each click as you shift. The R-tronic is old technology and the new S-tronic is better but still can't beat the feel of a manual as this is what makes the R8 a truly fun car to drive.

thanks!
I recently sold my S4 and now actively looking for a IS-F as my daily driver, really wish I never sold my pristine SFP, now it seems nearly impossible to find one with my mileage and condition. I had a 2008 so prefer to get a 2011+ this time around. Mods ok if done tastefully or otherwise take a stock car

Wife is looking for a 2011+ USB IS-F so if anyone has leads on a nice low mileage car with no accidents please PM me! Mods are ok but must be tasteful and able to pass SMOG. She wants a clean DD with decent gas mileage to replace her CT.
We ordered this BMW Individual color Dakar M3 and took delivery only recently. A lot of mods are planned but initial thoughts is the car is a polar opposite of the IS-F. Being a twin turbo 6 power plant, it gets incredible torque and still manages 26mpg which is even better than the IS-F!
BMW is one of the few companies still supporting the 6-speed manual crowd, wish Lexus would make a manual option in their rides:
