He's referring to all the raves the car is getting in the recent issues of C&D and R&T.

It has been spotted on US soil, before. That's why I leased a 328. To save some money and be able to afford something like an ///M or equivalent.

You know very little about the R8 with a statement like that, this car is as much of an over achiever as the GTR is. And the rave reviews it has been getting have nothing to do with frills or appearance and everything it's ability of out perform and amaze.

Which one can hang with what and blah blah, is just useless bragging rights and nothing else.

There's a real world out there. 95% of peeps buy a street car to live with every day, and own and maintain, be comfortable with, enjoy driving, etc.. Not because it can "hang with a modded 335." If so, then you're an idiot. Oh, but I take it to the track. Oh, really? If you're doing real wheel-to-wheel you'd be doing it in your class and with restrictions. Otherwise you're on the track simply bettering your own personal times.

The RS5 will be a great choice for anybody that wants one because they like it.

Here, here.

I posted pics of the Audi early yesterday but the thread title here seems to have infringed on some testosterone levels.


The other thread is quite civil. :{)
