Hard to choose here, but considering the transmission choices in this test, I'd have to go with the Porsche. The R8 get the styling award, not necessarily "better" looking, but more attention getting/arresting on the road.

Well the R8 V10 is coming so if Audi manages to do it right,it'll smoke pretty much every 911

I've heard such info before as well. Will be interesting to see if it's fiction or not since that's a unrealistically fast laptime beating even the LP650 and GT2.
