"I mean ..one does not buy a race car and expect it to drive like a Rolls." and pretty much sums it up.
Good Post! This is why I would want to hear from as many of the actual owners to get their personal take on the street drivability of the R.

I am use to driving race cars with my weekend warrior ride being a Dodge Viper Competition Coupe. My other to go is a Gen V Viper running 645 hp. 600 torque. If the R is aggressive as a street driver, that's not an issue. We'll just feather the throttle to meet the required RPM's. I'm hoping to get feedback that the R will respond to that kind of feathering. From your previous response, sounds like it will, above 1,800 RPM.s. That was very helpful! What carb are you using on your R?
