    Daz gets a shiney new R8

    Well the long awaited day has come to take delivery of my new car whoo hoo.After a bit of a drive home I can already appreciate how strong the VE is and chassis is very good but I need to get out for a decent drive to really stretch its legs.Power wise it is good with heaps of torque but feels slow compared to the cammed VY which is to be expected and will be worked on over time .I was planning to have the interior redone in full leather but love the cloth it looks better than expected and is very comfortable so I think I will use the leather money on other mods.
    I plan to update this thread with all the step by step mods I do with hopefully dyno and track slips as things progress.
    Here's a couple of quick pictures..cheers Daz
