For me it was a hard choice between the R8 and M3... but the M3 wins!

 

[Zafiro]

the test has been posted here but not a poll.

M3 is the best car for daily-use and offer good bang for the buck but R8 is more exclusive.

 

[Bruce]

R8 please. It's just too good to pass up.

 

[Zafiro]

I have a feeling this poll will be between M3 and R8 and not the Vette

 

[Bartek S.]

Had a difficult choice between M3 and R8 and M3 won.

 

[Tumbo]

It's really hard to find another car as great the R8. I don't remember any car getting so much positive feedback.

And it's just gorgeous looking....

 

[vedjo01]

I have to say that both C6 and R8 have that supercar look commpared to M3 .But,when you look and stats and car as a whole,M3 is just amazing .

 

[martinbo]

The R8 is so much more special than the other two but I chose the M3 anyway. I just like it so much!

 

[LaArtist]

wow omg this is the first poll i cant vote in..
and its not beacuse i like all
i dont like any of these cars..
the R8 to me is wierd looking in profile.. i just dont like it period
the M3.. hmm it makes me sad cause its not what i wanted it to be
C6 is hot.. but its american... and that interior.. OMG..i cant live with that

PS
so all in all i hate them or love them equally.. but im gonna vote for the M3 cause it has the heritage...

 

[Tarek]

Voted for the car that gave Porsche's engineers sleepless nights in stuttgart,it simply did beat the whole 911 range but the GT2.

 

[m-power]

Wow ... tough choice between the R8 and M3
The R8 is a more exclusive car indeed, and more "supercar" than the M3, but i'm so impressed with the M3 handling compared to the R8.
If BMW would build a more "supercar" like vehicle ... it would just be awesome

 

[Sunny]

Damn, a tough one - If we are talking someone else's money here, I'd choose R8. It has a small advantage in performance and visual flare of a supercar. But if price was a factor, it'd be neigh impossible to justify the R8 when M3 comes so close in performance for almost half the price while being way more practical.

 

[Cashmere]

R8 definitely!

 

[chonkoa]

The M3 on paper doesn't belong to this group, however with the numbers it posted, it is hard to ignore it.
Considering how close the performance numbers are, and the price difference between the R8 and the M3, I chose the M3 over the R8.

 

[Poverty]

Wonder what times the R8 and Z06 would post if they were fitted with the same semi racing tires like the BMW.

The numbers are close because the M3 tyres were semi racing.

 

[Zafiro]

The numbers are close because the M3 tyres were semi racing.

so is the R8, its the same tires RS4 used when tested in sportauto? Noone complained so why start now?

EDIT: or did the RS4 use Pirelli P Zero corsa ? Im confused.

EDIT2: RS4 did use Pirelli Corsa while it seems that the R8 is using normal tires.

 

[NarutoRamen]

I absolutely F__king love the R8. I pushed the sh!t out of it this past Sunday at Infineon raceway, but the thing is that as a daily driver I'd have to choose the M3.

The R8 is a weekend driver unless you live in a posh neighberhood where cars like that are parked on the streets. The M3 has the right performance and daily drivability that the R8 and C6 lack. I really do need my rear seats and out of those 3 only the M3 suits my needs.

R8
It's a car born of powerful ideas
The only car of these I've "tested" it's more than a sportscar it is a car with soul it really is.. It's not a RS4 that just rock like the M3.. it's a piece of engineering perfection. Audi nailed it with this machine..
and as I always finish with.. Audi is design masters: JUST LOOK AT IT

M3
It's a 3-serie with sport suspension and big engine
- Hot car and it drives like a dream (they said).. but it's the inside that really counts and it is fresh... but not like the R8 not eaven close (bring on the CS concept - then maybe)!

C6
American power and RWD
- If you want to go fast in a straitline and make burnouts.. sorry not today!
I want to make a turn up to my mansion.


R8 - You are the winner
It's a masterpiece and it can be used all days in the week.
