lol, now dont get me wrong, i LOVE the R8's.
but i would rather have an A4 quattro for a daily hack, as its more usable.
R8's more of a track toy
imo
why dont you convert it to 4WD, as, very basically, you need a crank shaft, drive shaft and poss a couple of things an all you gotta do is put them in, the A4 has a trans tunnel to the back on all models.
