*strokkes Audi R8 picture*

I think the German beer if afecting my .descision
 
the R8 is an all around awesome car. just like the standard C6. that LS3 is still a potent engine tho. and is over all a very good car. what are the price differences ?
 
Vette is probably faster, but the R8 is probably better.
 
I'm guessing the Lambor... Audi R8 will win. Kinda in a different class.

The R8 is at least double the price of the Vette.
 
I had an issue of Car and Driver from last year and they match up the R8 against a Z06 and the Viper. They basically had the R8 losing to both in every category, including handling which I just couldn't believe.

Lamborraudi would be a sweet name for a supercar.

Or some kind of disease you would pick up from a Middle Eastern water pump.
 
R8 will win.

Bring the Z06 and then it's a different story. R8 will get poesklapped like there is no tomorrow by the Z06.
 
I have my money on the R8 for this one. Definately a big gap for price, but spec figures might show for a good match-up

We're using the LS3 Coupe, NOT the Z06, for a better match up.

Don't the upgraded C6 has more power than the R8?

I'd have the Vette and loads of tyres!
 
the R8 will win because it's Yuropean and doesn't have leafspringslol

*hides in flameproof suit*

btw I think "leafspringslol" should be a word.
 
Corvette LS3 Coupe - 430bhp, 428ft-lbs, Z51 performance package, 3,217lbs, $46,000 starting price
Audi R8 - 420bhp, 317ft-lbs, 3,439lbs, $109,000 starting price

Oh yes, it's going to be a pretty good fight.
 
I can has both now, please?

I just can't decide they are both awesome in their own way. Is the comparison going to be performance only? Because if you compare the cars on other points then the comparison is kind of like apples to oranges. They just have a completely different approach and market segments in mind.
