V10 has the exotic sound, similar to my previous S85's. Tons of power. Plus you get carbon engine bay, upgraded stereo, etc etc w the V10.

It will take me some time to find the right V10. But I'm planning to be patient and hopefully keep this one for a while.

So upped the budget a bit.

The R8 can be driven very frequently, which is what I plan to do. Unlike an F car. Plus R8's with high mileage seem to be out there, a testament that the car can be driven.

So will go the super car / exotic plus decent DD.
You'll eventually yearn for LFA or Carrera GT in the search of ultimate V10... and I can't blame you for it
