Beautiful indeed, but slightly underpowered.

I just watched this: http://www.windingroad.com/multimedia/i ... i-r8-video
It sounds bad (in a good way).

I bet a well tuned exhaust, and a chip or re-flash, and it would be pushed close to, or over 500 hp. Would that work for you? Hell, if you can get a GIAC chip for a Bentley Continental GT, you should be able to get one for this thing soon.........

Whoever was driving in the beginning really should watch the tach a bit more, he must of redlined it 4 times in that video...Awesome car though, love the sound of that 4.2 v8. Buddy back home has a s4 with that motor in it with exhaust and its a great sound.
