I'm tempted to go sit in the corner and pout because no matter how much I lust after an R8, at 6'7" there's not a chance in hell that I'm comfortably fitting inside that thing.

I actually gave it a shot a few years ago at Fletcher Jones Audi in Chicago and everyone in the showroom had a nice laugh. The sales guy said Bulls & Bears players come in all the time ready to buy until they try and fit inside and miserably.

Which makes the M8 GC a decent proposition for red light racing and lightly-spirited romps on the curvy parts. Do any of you current owners regularly switch to RWD for hooning? With how disconnected the steering feels I'd imagine you'd be asking for trouble.
