Another stunner Yeah mine spent most of it's life at the back of the workshop with a cover of it, only did circa 1k miles in the 14 odd months I had it

Not an r8 but about the same use 5k in 4.5 years .

Was just taken with my phone and an effect used. Crazy huh.

Been lucky enough to make some great frends with similar passion for cars and we do at least 1 or 2 euro trips a year, the ring, spa etc. That one was en route to Monaco... nothing like blasting through the f1 tunnel there with the Capristo valves open!

2 more from the convoy!

These were actually taken as we were required to pull over by the local bobbies!

some lovely previous cars.

The SVR isn't too hard edged to use it everyday; that was one of the criteria we strived so hard to meet. I'd like to think its the most complete car we've built to date in that you can do pretty much anything with it.

At the end of the day it's obviously your choice and whilst I'm incredibly biased, I know where my money would be going, as good as the AB is......

Thanks Dave, I think I am going to go for it. Just trying to get the local Dealers to get me one to testdrive before I pull the trigger.

Use mine everyday. Fantastic beast.

I always set off with good intentions, but I can count on one hand the number of trips I've made where I don't select Dynamic mode (and usually Sport too) at least once. Normally towards the end of the drive.  

Got myself an SVR Test Drive booked for next Thursday. Very excited

Hey Matt how did it go?
Also just to let you know i have seen a stealth SVR in germany new car for sale., so you must be able to order one in uk. SVR 2018 in Santorini Black.

Wow, can't fail to be impressed, the noise is something else. Tried to thrash out a deal for the 15 plate I drove, but because it's their MD's personal car it has every single bloody option on and consequently was quite expensive. Then it turned out it's not available until late December (when his new one arrives).

So I think I am going to order a new one for March 1st 2016. I don't want a massive amount of extras, 22" wheels, privacy glass, adaptive xenons, carbon interior, washer bottle, mats and service pack.

It will be a long 5-6 months

What is the stealth SVR? Anyone shed any light on this?

We don't do SVR with stealth pack so it must be a dealer version.

Very very pleased you're happy with the SVR; it's always nice to impress people and it makes the last three years worthwhile!

I was very impressed - I don't think my neighbours will be though

Well there is an option to start the car with the valves shut if that helps. It's a strategy we put into the car to sense you want a quiet start event.

Lol, brilliant thinking.
(The startup noise was one of my doubts about the SVR too)

Dave - I personally think my neighbours should hear an SVR with the valves open
