At $122,900 and up, it’s also one of the most expensive. Z06 :1:15.74 But when you consider the price, performance and practicality of the Z06, it truly is America’s everyday supercar. R8 :1:15.69 Still, even factoring in the Audi’s six-figure price tag, this was the one car we all wanted in our own garages. The Audi R8 may be the new supercar benchmark. Source |

Semi means they are better on wetconditions than 100% R-tires is. R-tires are for the track and very bad in wet conditions, semi-R-tires can be used on a track and on the street, not as much grip as R-tires but better than "normal" tires. | |

Very strong result from the Z06 if using standard road tires. | |
