Re: Audi R8.....the new beast

i would take that audi over a corvette any day of the week

edit: All I can think when I see a corvette is there's a 50 year old guy having his midlife crisis

Does anyone here ever think about anything other than straight lines?

Re: Audi R8.....the new beast

the z06 does just fine in the curves.

Re: Audi R8.....the new beast

Yeah, the Z06 tears the Nurburgring a new *******. That's not the point. Yeah, the C6 Z06 is one hell of an impressive car, it brings supercar performance to a [slightly] lower market. But for some people it takes more than outstanding performance numbers to sell a car. It's a very good car, but it has it's flaws.

What flaws?? A Z06 is near perfect, besides the lack of a backseat and trunk, but most performance cars don't have trunks or backseats (FUNCTIONAL) anyway.

Hello,

Just have a look at this, it's an english program, the lap times are done on a track designed by Lotus, not just straight lines.

The Z06 direct opponent is the Lambo Gallardo, which is much faster than the R8 (in its 420hp version).

I saw R8 and Z06 on "côte d'azur", near Saint-Tropez, the Z06 looks so much cooler. :)

I don't know how you consider Audis on your side of the Atlantic but here, the Vette is much more exotic and exclusive ... and cheaper too !!! :tup:

The interior is complete crap. I haven't seen the updated interior on the 08s, but the older models were horrible for a 80k supercar killer.

That obviously wouldn't stop be from owning one if I had the chance. I love the car and still think it is an amazing car, not just an amazing car for the money.

I don't know anyone who would spend $80k on a cupholder and a 6-disc CD player. I can't think of interiors as being something worth *****ing about in a performance car. If it was a Caddy, then I could see, but a Vette, eh, what the **** do I care.

Yeah when the Z06 tromps the living sh!t out of the Audi in every performance catagory including price that's what people resort to as an argument. If the Z06 somehow had a nice interior for the same price they'd be b!tching that it only has two seats, or doesn't come with bluetooth capability standard.

There seems to be a lot of a$$hats out there that forget PERFORMANCE cars are about PERFORMANCE. There's no need to b!tch when your Formula 1 car doesn't have cupholders.

Re: Audi R8.....the new beast

maybe its just me, but i think the zo6's interior is fine.
