This post is inspired by the FP article about an Audi R8.

I got to drive an Audi R8 about a week ago. It was a V10 with a double clutch gearbox. Would have it been cooler to drive the manual version, yes. Even still, its not like a poor college student like me gets to drive a super everyday.

5 minutes in that car turned my crappy day into a happy day.

The R8 I drove had over 40,000 miles on it. And since I didn't drive it like I stole it (because in a car like this I would have definitely been pulled over for speeding) it felt like an Audi A6. The only time it didn't feel like an A6 was when I had to dodge potholes for fear of damaging the front splitter. Ironman drives a $150,000 hellaflush car.

Iron man had his name on the registration too! It's difficult to break the speed limit when you're in traffic.

Have you even watched any scenes where he drove the r8? Pretty sure he didn't find it difficult to break the speed limit.
