Re: VIDEO: Web Rides TV pits the Audi R8 against the LS3 Corvette

Good video...yet the "test track" was kind of lame.


Reminded me of drivers education course ...

I am sure my 08 LS3 436hp Corvette would easily take out the mighty fine R8 on a real road course....

Equal it at the very least.

JMO and definitely biased.

Nathan is a Non-drivin' MF. I love the R8, but to me it looked like they were trying harder in the Audi than they did in the 'vette. I don't buy that you have to brake 71' farther away in the 'vette than in the R8, either.

To me, those two cars aren't really direct competitors anyway. If you can swing the cash, an R8 is a great car. The 'vette is the bang for the buck option like you said.

I like the video but as JBsZ06 had said, the "test track" was quite a bore. both were nice rides, but I find R8 much better than the other one.
