Naw, just cracked it open on the street... ridiculous amount of acceleration. Ridiculous. This is coming from a guy that rides sportbikes.

your friend must be pretty wealthy and must have some connections to get one. There is a 2 yr wait on R8s and I hear dealers are charging a hefty premium on these

i was expecting a quicker 0-60..... 4.2, i mean thats fast as shit no doubt, but my H22A powered Accord Coupe does it in 6 flat....

how much hp/tq does the R8 make?

You have to look past the 0-60 numbers...the handling of that machine with the magnetic suspension and the quattro has got to be amazing...I know I love my audi! :)

oh of course, im def. not trying to compare my car to a high end sports/super car.... i just figured it would get to 60 in like 3.5 secs or so.... especially with AWD....

Wow, that's pretty much my dream job. Awesome car too! It's pretty high on my list of 'cars I would buy if I could afford them'

Once they start making more Audi's going to lose a little of the 'wow' factor. I see Porsche 911 Turbos pretty often in the area (even a few GT2/GT3)--similar MSRP but there's a lot of steady demand and plenty to go around.

Oh and what's C&D?

i know that beauty is subjective and not everyone finds the R8 nice looking, but the R8 just screams supercar whereas the vette is a lot more plain looking

and R8 interior >>>>>>> vette interior

not saying the vette is a bad car. I like the vette too, but c'mon, if both were offered to you for free, you'd pick the Corvette?
