I'm not gonna be tracking it much if any, but as you can see it is a very capable car around a track.
To me at this point after daily driving a car that accelerates like a bat out of hell(M3P) it's not about HP and lap times much anymore, it's about just scratching an itch and ejoying different cars...The original R8 has always been one of my dream cars and still just has that "it factor" that only the GT3 -GT4 Porsches have...
The timeless design and iconic stature reminds me of my old NSX's and still captures my attention when I see one in the wild

did you drive the R8 when you had your 981 or 718?
Sounds to me like the R8 is a scratch you need to itch...
