  | AMS: Audi R8 vs. Porsche 997 Mk.II Although the R8 is a terrific car I knew that it's edge in performance over the 911 wouldn't last very long. Like I said in the past, the order would be restored once the 911 is facelifted. And this is just the 911CS which is 20% cheaper than the R8, wait until the facelifted GT3 has landed. Full test will be posted tomorrow.      Audi R8(R-Tronic) against Porsche 997 Carrera S(PDK) 0-100 km/h 911 = 4,4s R8 = 4,5s 0-200 km/h 911 = 15,5s R8 = 16,1s  Last edited by ree; 08-07-2008 at 07:43 AM.

| Re: AMS: Audi R8 vs. Porsche 997 Mk.II Would still take the R8 over any 911 (turbo/GT2) it's just catches my attention much more than 911s and i love it's from the future design  I just hope the new FL Turbo/GT2 beats the GTR coz that is whipping Porsche's butt really hard on the track |

| Re: AMS: Audi R8 vs. Porsche 997 Mk.II I'd go for the 997 Carrera 2 S with a manual gearbox. Maybe in red or yellow?

| Re: AMS: Audi R8 vs. Porsche 997 Mk.II Even the present GT3 clearly out performs the R8, the next one will leave it way behind. I wouldn't be surprised if the next GT3 hangs with the GTR. R8's appeal is the packaging - mid-engine exotic looks with an interior to die for - not performance. |
