Audi R8 - Attainable Supercar?

They'd be stupid not to follow the money. People are willing to part with large amounts of cash for large amounts of performance they aren't capable of using. That's not the manufacturers fault.

 

Daughter said she had a guy come into the showroom Saturday and inquired if his 6'6" college football playing son would fit in the backseat of a 911. He was dead serious. She took him towards the Panamera's.

 

Shit, at 6'6" he'd be hard pressed to sit in the front of a 911 or Panamera I bet. I'm 6'4" and I've accepted the fact that I'll never fit into certain cars, much less their back seats.

 

Send that idiot to the Chrysler dealership for a Pacifica.

 

Manufacturers are driving toward automatics because they can program the transmissions to meet fleet fuel economy standards. That's a fact, jack.

 

That's a smart man. Best vehicle ever

I am so in love with this thing, I may sign up to bid tonight!

 

It’s in Kelowna to boot. Beautiful place!

 

And emissions.

 

Holy cow that looks fun!

 

looks awesome! It has rusting issues, and that is the cancer of cars and could be a PITA to deal with.

 

Who gives a shit. The smiles when you pull out of a cars and coffee event would be hilarious. Have to be there before anyone else to keep the suspense.

 

I was trying to be nice, but it's also old. #justsayin

 

<<<So is my '69 Camaro.

 

Thought that was a Hot Wheels car

 

That might be the bigger jack fact.
When GM still had manual trans trucks the revs would hang for a second after pushing in the clutch and drop to idle slowly, because emissions. Both standards set by gov are absurd and forced the manufacturers to do things they didn't want to, like CVT's.
