Anyone raced the new Audi R8

**jad628** · 06-30-2008, 07:33 AM

To each his own, but I am still more likely to own an GM/Ford/Mopar product and tweak it than to own an over-priced foreign job.

120K? Forget the Z06, I would BUY a new 'vette (standard) for a DD, build my F-body for outright speed, and STILL have enough money left over to buy gas for years!!!

Yea thos ZO6's are hella fast but with a few bolt-ons and some Nitrous ur T/A will do just fine against a ZO6

you need close to 600rwhp to mess with them...between 570-600rwhp..they are 1000 pounds lighter ..that equals 100hp more the t/a would need.

**shady milkman** · 07-09-2008, 05:30 AM

and we are not even talking about handling.

Indeed the C6 platform is superior to our beloved F-body. I think the R8 is the best Grand Touring car on the market today. It is everything a GT should be. While the C6Z and several F cars on this forum could smoke an R8, the Audi is a true exotic.

As outstanding as the 911 is, that Cayman S is like the little brother that watches and studies, just waiting for his older sibling to mess up so he could step forward and be daddy's favorite. I'm not much for Porsche' but the Cayman S just makes you want to spit in your hand and take care of business. What? Too far?

The Z06 officially weighs 3132 lb (1421 kg), giving it a power to weight ratio of 6.2 lb/hp Not bad at all but but its only about 380lb. lighter not 1000 But your rite we would need around 550+ rwhp

my ass.. it's around 350 pounds lighter Depending on what crap you've taken out of the F-Body.

Agreed you'd need more HP to beat it. but why throw up crazy numbers?

personally I haven't tried to get in a porsche lately. but unless they have grown I wouldn't fit. 6'2" with long legs.
