I'm not really sure *why* I'm thinking of changing but I guess I just get into these moods every now and then.

I've looked around at the obvious choices, as per usual, the 911 is pretty hard to beat in this class of car ; so I'm left with the choice of either another 911, a GT3 perhaps or a TT OR the Audi R8.

I no longer have the requirement that I had for rear seats before, when the 911 was my DD ( I now have a cooper S to run around in ) so all of the above would work for me. There's absolutely no way I can afford to break $100k so that rules out Lambo's/Ferrari's for me and to be honest, I want something I can afford to drive, not be scared of it breaking.

I drove an R-Tronic R8 about 3 months ago and was not very happy with the coined "R-Tragic" gearbox. I've driven just about every hyper/super car going and I was pretty shocked at how rough the gearbox felt, even in comparison to the older Gallardo's. I'd probably try to find a manual if it came down to it however. My initial concern with the R8 was residual value, I had a feeling that being "just an Audi" that it would suffer pretty harshly in the depreciation stakes ; it appears however that I was wrong.

What are you thoughts on the R8? Do you think I'm mad to change at all or do you have any better suggestions?

Thanks

Thanks for the ride in the P car, it sounded awesome.
