It's strange how the frame looks like it was made in someone's garage.

I was thinking the same thing. Compare it to the Ford GT frame sometime-- which looks more along the lines of what I expected.

Though I'll have to say, after hearing and seeing one at RA this weekend, It's high on my list for my next car.
 
Got to get me one of those in 4 years when they are 50k.:tongue:

Wait until you drive one. I had the opportunity to take one through some mountain roads up on Skyline and over the hill, and it was SUH-WEET!!! What a car! Effortless driving, effortless power. You just hit the accelerator, and it GOES. Much faster than my NSX.

Here's a pic of the two of us together:

Is it me or are the the lugnuts replace with lug-bolts? Never seen that type before. maybe the studs are just removed.
 
After seeing the R8 in person last Saturday at the ALMS at Road America, I like it even more. It's a wider car in person, and sounds fantastic. The only drawback are the goofy off-color blade panels. You have to get the right color combination to make it look OK.
 
They say it's just a Gallardo re body.
Seen it 2 or 3 time it's "OK" don't really like it.
The NSX on the pic looks way better.
