Hey guys, you gotta check out this car. It's one of the slickest I've ever seen.

Yeah, the car's a beauty indeed. I had the pleasure to lust on it with my eyes last week when I spotted one parked on the mall lot.

I've seen one on the road already. It's definitely a beauty.

But I'd rather save some money, and buy this, and let the Audi driver have a good look at my taillights. Mr. Green

One of my long-term goals in life is to own my own supercar and I am going to do it. I am going for a Lamborghini though.

I'd have to see it in person to decide, but I think I would buy a Lotus Exige S before one of those. Or I'd go for a Porsche 911 GT3, despite:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audi_R8#Performance

Many publications were hailing it as the first car to truly be able to beat Porsche - considered by many to be one of the best supercars ever made and the leader in its class. Initial comparison tests have proven quite positive in this respect; Evo Magazine in its comparison test between the R8, 911 Carrera 4S, Aston Martin V8 Vantage and BMW M6 have claimed that the Audi is a better supercar saying that "Audi humbles Porsche. A new dawn starts today." Other publications have also made similar reviews of the Audi beating the Porsche in comparison tests.


The Exige S is much cheaper, with similar 0-60 mph, and it's more "green". The top speed difference between the two doesn't make a difference to me, since the Exige's 148 mph is fine. When would I ever fucking get up to 187?

As for my pro-argument for the R8-priced 911: class and sex appeal. I'd love to fuck it. The R8 on the other hand is an absolute slut, and I don't like sluts.

I'd love to have the up coming ZR1 blue devil from Chevy, but I will settle for a delorean and stuff something big in the back.

I will be too tall to drive these tiny supercars you guys are talking about.
@sniper: I heard about that car in 2006 NFS: Carbon.

The R8 is the freshest sports car I have seen in years. I have been following it with ernest interest.

Top Gear has a good review on it, you can find it on YouTube.

Recent confirmation that there is a V12 TDI Diesel in the works is particularily interesting. The car's DNA might be sports car but the engine output in terms of torque screams tactor...http://www.roadandtrack.com/article.asp?section_id=15&article_id=63 35

The R8 looks awesome, yet it's not as fast as the price may suggest. It only has 420 HP... It costs 150 Gs. You can get 500+ HP with a Shelby GT for almost a third of that.

Buy a ZR1 for 50K less go 200+

Buy a GT-500 for half of that (ZR1) go 170.

Bingo, horsepower doesn't mean shit if the car can't turn or stop properly.

I also think that some people forget that 400 horsepower is still a crap load of horsepower and will rock your socks when you floor it.

The base price in the US is $109,000.

The handling sucks on the GT500, according to Richard Hammond. Also, the horsepower isn't quite at 500: 447.

Check out the handling reviews on the Lotus Exige S.

I retract my statement about getting a Corvette ZR1 instead of the Audi R8.

Instead, I would rather have this. Mr. Green

I've driven a 10-second car, and currently own a 12 second one. Speed and torque are not everything, and despite what you see on movies like The Fast & The Furious, every streetlight is not a drag race.
