Holy Moly the R8 is simply gorgeous! I don't know what to say about this car. It just makes me happy. I have a crush on her.

Question, who hasn't the R8 beaten? I honestly don't see the point in a more powerful model considering the accomplishments of the measley 420HP 8 cylinder!

Popular Mechanics??? They know as much about cars as i know about Robosapian. Very Little! If they ran the test right the numbres would have put the Z06 ahead, the 911tt behind it, the R8 and finally the Viper. Obviously they didnt do this right-and Andreas your right in asking what kind of tires they were using-im sure these guys dont even understand that....

They ran a few laps at streets of wilow then decide to throw an article together???? Holy cow-thats weak. I think this isnt a great source to be honest. wait for R&T on this one.

Very strong result from the Z06 if using standard road tires.
Might I could do that, one of my friends have GT3, but its TechArt so I guess he will blow away R8, but maybe it will be interesting....
