New R3!!

I posted a thread a couple weeks ago how I missed my 2006 rx8 and really wanted back into a new one. Well I found a 2011 r3 with less than 7,000 miles and just picked it up this afternoon.

I'm so excited. I love it.

I'll post a few more pics later but here's one at the dealer.

Haha. I really like the blue too and it's what I was first looking for but I wanted an '11 and found a super low mileage one and couldn't pass it up.

Thanks.

I'm getting a clear bra put on today and just purchased led lights throughout, and I'll have the windows tinted soon. Will probably look at some lowering springs to get rid of the gap (drives me nuts), put in a sound system, maybe some eyelids. Nothing crazy, just going to clean things up a bit.

Couldn't agree more. One of my buddies just bought a Camaro SS and it looks ready for off-roading.

Congrats on the purchase ! Seeing as you just got it, how does your 2006 RX8 compare to the R3 ?

Thanks! I guess it handles a little better. I love the Recaros! That's the biggest difference really. The engine seems a bit more responsive too for some reason.

It just seems odd to buy an R3 and ruin it by adding a bunch of weight, should have gotten a Grand Touring
