Its not a bad car indeed but looks abit odd in some angles.

I think the car fits very well for those people who can afford to buy one, in short, abit too elegant for me
I like the rear end but not the front.
for that kind of price and in the same level I would go for a 2nd hand Bentley Continental

so dont get that set the tyres will not fit our cars and will rub
it sounds like the wheels is off a 6er. 255 fron and 295 rear.
also you car will be very slow at start with 295 rear no matter how much mod you have

I would say r8 impressed me the most, it just grip, grip and grip!!
but either of the choices will be well enough for the hk road

Surprisingly the car tends to oversteer rather than understeer when you turn it hard, R8 is a very unusal 4WD i would say

the government are so stupid they should sack the the group who said that the F1 car should not over speed lol
HK Government should be very happy that they coming to HK and should make it a big thing about it too.
