- In today's vlog, we venture into the breathtaking backroads of Wisconsin, armed with a duo of automotive marvels: Uncle Pete's Audi R8 Performance and my iconic 997.2 GT3 RS. Now, the R8 has long held a reputation as the 'gateway supercar' for many, the one car that kickstarts our supercar aspirations. But after driving it, I came to a profound realization - the R8 is so much more than just an entry point.
This R8, with its dual personality, is the true embodiment of what a supercar can and should be. Its capability to transition from a gentle, refined tourer to an absolute beast at the mere push of a button is unparalleled. Uncle Pete's decision to fit it with a Capristo exhaust and valve controller elevates this experience. In its quieter mode, it purrs with elegance, but open those valves, and you unleash a symphony reminiscent of the end times, echoing with power and aggression.
As our drive concludes, I'm left with two undeniable beliefs: If you're stepping into the world of supercars, the R8 should be your first dance. And for those who already sway to the supercar rhythm, the R8 deserves a spot, a special place in your automotive collection. Dive into this episode to understand why this Audi is not just another supercar, but an experience waiting to be had.

Crazy how much better the US R8 sounds compared to the european one with OPF.
This car has full Capristo. Perhaps that is why lol
@@MiamiMiles ahhhh okay. Sounded too good for stock lmao
Shout out to Culver’s and their well deserved resurgence in 2023
Facts
R8 sounds crazy🔥🏎️💨
Oh fuck yeah!! I love that car ❤
My second favorite car you've ever owned :)
Nice!! I love the R8, I have the base model 2017 and I installed a Fabspeed exhaust, hi flow air filters plus a Repro and its an amazing car!!!
That probably sounds incredible
Amaazing!! Your vids keep getting better and better! I was soo excited when I saw this! Dream car and keep up the incredible work! Also I love how we can feel the emotions through the camera instead of just boring talking
Thank you my friend. So happy you enjoy the content. You have an excellent dream car
Totally agree with your assessment! That’s why i have 3 different R8 V10s LOL
Thats a good number of R8's LOL. Happy you enjoy them as much as I do
Wow that thing sounds so good 😮
The Capristo exhaust sounds amazing
The 2014 MT I have had for 7 years now, the 2022 Spyder for a little over a year and the ‘23 GT just came in 2 months ago. They are all a little different are all great.
Great garage my friend. How’s the GT versus an STO for example cuz they are pricey with markup.
@@MiamiMiles great question. I cannot give you a full answer at this point yet. I believe that the R8 break in is 750 miles and I do not have that many miles on my car yet. Ask me again in about three weeks or so. That being said, I can tell you already that the R8 GT is not on the same level as the STO. Frankly, it’s not even close. Why, you ask? It is simple: the STO has much better steering, shorter wheelbase, better induction and much better exhaust sound plus it has rear wheel steering. All of those important items to add up very quickly. I paid 150 grand more for my STO than paid for the R8GT. I am completely fine with that delta. The much more important question for me, honestly, is whether or not I made the right decision of not buying a nicely specced Huracan Technic vs. the R8 GT. Apples to apples, all in, the TÉCNICA would’ve run me about $75,000 more than the R8 GT.. At the time, I decided that that was too much of a gap. At this point, after having driven the R8 a couple of times, I am not so sure that I made the right decision. if I were to keep the R8 GT long-term, I would, for sure, at the very least, lower the car, and put a nice Capristo exhaust on it. Again, don’t get me wrong, the R8 GT a very good car, I am just not sure that it is a great car. In the spirit of full disclosure, I am, obviously, extremely spoiled.
@@timmietz brother… would love to get a peek at your garage haha. Every time I see your comments I’m blown away.
I think the capristo exhaust would transform the car. In Pete’s it made it one of the few cars I craved to drive multiple times in a day. Cars I’ve driven that I loved and haven’t owned include the 812, that Capristo R8, scud, 458 and STO.
Técnica is cool but not a must have for me.
Great vid, Mick! As usual. Really like the R8 with V-10. Performance and luxury. The reason I bought an M4 Competition--maybe poor man's R8? And you sure have fun making these. I envy you.
Thank you as always my friend. Appreciate you. I think you’d love the R8
V-10 likes to shout with that exhaust!
It sounds incredible
Great first supercar. I swapped one for a 458 which feels better in every way, but R8 gave way more confidence at high speed corners coz it never lost traction. Biggest downside is that it looks and feels a bit too Audi (externally and internally). But the engine is pure lambo.
agreed. Which is why I just made a very similar decision 😀
wait you were in wisconsin? Where???
I have no clue lol. I let uncle Pete take me
I love the R8, not the performance but the V10 plus. I aspire to get the R8 V10 plus and bolt on an MTM supercharger to make 802HP. The way the MTM R8 sounds is insane, the supercharger enhances the character of the V10 unlike twin turbo's which numb the sound. Checkout the R8 MTM: th-cam.com/video/VB9tXo5ka9M/w-d-xo.html
Yea that sounds incredible. One of my goals is to do that as well.
Audi r8
value will go up on this car. Drive it for free :)
Agreed. This car will be a classic at some point :)
I think at this point, any naturally aspirated super car is gonna appreciate. Just pick your favourite and work hard to get it.
