Vs AMS: Audi R8 vs. Porsche 997 Mk.II

[Tarek]

^ Lol,MB is just much higher than that

 

[Poverty]

Even the present GT3 clearly out performs the R8, the next one will leave it way behind. I wouldn't be surprised if the next GT3 hangs with the GTR. R8's appeal is the packaging - mid-engine exotic looks with an interior to die for - not performance.

Not performance

Sure, but it is going to cost as much as a GT2 probably.

I'll take the R8 please. It just looks more special, and I already know how good it is to drive, on and off track.
