Aston Martin V8 VS 911 TURBO VS AUDI R8
Guess who wins
1st Place
Audi R8 - 220 Points
Base Price - $109,720
Tested Price - $120,970
0-60 - 4.3
0-100 - 10.7
1/4 Mile 12.8 @ 112 mph
5-60 - 4.8
70-0 - 160 feet
300 ft skidpad - .97
Willow Springs International Raceway Lap Time - 1:35.76/94.0 mph
Lane change (mph) - 66.7
Observed miles per gallon - 14
Highs
Ballet-dancer balance and grace, eager responses, telepathic steering, internal combustion rarely sounds better.
Lows
Proportions awkward from some angles, uncomfortable dead-pedal height, blind in the rear quarters.
Verdict
Sports-car perfection from an unexpected source.
2nd Place
Porsche 911 Turbo - 210 Points
Base Price - $123,760
Tested Price - $141,510
0-60 - 3.8
0-100 - 9.2
1/4 Mile 12.2 @ 117 mph
5-60 - 4.8
70-0 - 159 feet
300 ft skidpad - .98
Willow Springs International Raceway Lap Time - 1:38.53/91.3 mph
Lane change (mph) - 65.0
Observed miles per gallon - 14
Highs
Omigawd thrust, never-fade brakes, limpet grip, gorgeous interior treatment, maximum Porsche mystique.
Lows
Spooky at the limits of adhesion, high interior noise levels, Prussian ride quality, snoot scrapes on driveway ramps.
Verdict
For 911 addicts who have no wish to be cured, Porsche Sturm und Drang just doesn't get any better than this.
3rd Place
Aston Martin V8 Vantage - 191 Points
Base Price - $117,150
Tested Price - $129,110
0-60 - 5.1
0-100 - 12.3
1/4 Mile 13.5 @ 106 mph
5-60 - 5.8
70-0 - 165 feet
300 ft skidpad - .93
Willow Springs International Raceway Lap Time - 1:40.73/89.4 mph
Lane change (mph) - 64.1
Observed miles per gallon - 13
Highs
Appealingly edgy update on classic GT-coupe shape, smooth operator on rough payment, irresistible V8 growl.
Lows
A bit too much body roll, nervous under hard braking, short on muscle among these heavy lifters.
Verdict
A stylish GT sophisticate that's a little out of its depth among these thoroughbreds.

Apparently AL is 22 years old.
At that age I was writing a dissertation on Metal Matric Composites. Not writing the kind of stuff that would make a 7 year old look stupid.

AL likes his men to have a bit of a tyre to grab onto.
Sadly I lack such an addition.
AL, tell me, do any of your "men" get a but turned off by your profession of bog unblocker?
Must play havoc with your nails.

All Audi Lover (LordOfTheRings) slagging off here. I'm quite pleased to read all test drives regarding the R8.
I read with much interest the test in Evo Magazine that it's better than both the Prodrive AMV8, and C4S (with Power Kit). And now (although I can't read Audi Lovers original post attachments) it looks like it could be better than a Turbo, and according to Audi Lovers post it has lapped quicker than a Turbo too.
Why my interest ??? Old man has a Black (with Silver Fins) Manual R8 on order.
Only down side is that he thought about it for too long after being told (at the time) that he could have had one this year. After making his mind up to get one, he's now looking a November 2008 Bugger

All these trolls spamming up and ruining audi threads. If you dont like whats being said dont come in them
Next month we will officially hear from sportauto just how quick the R8 is.
The C6 Z06 posted a time of 7mins 49 secs last month, and I reckon the R8 will match that time
