The R8 looks so sexy, but the Vette's value is hard to ignore.

Yeah, it's not much of a track as it's missing some high speed transitions and sweepers, but it still gives the general idea.

Yeah even though the C6 lost, you can't deny the bargain that it is compared to the R8.

the z06, a lot faster than the ls3, is still cheaper than the r8 by leaps and bounds.

it starts to beg the question... how fast is fast enough? then what do you want to do with your money after that?

why not compare R8 vs Z06 or ZR-1? More similar in price.

Why not compare the R8 to the Aston Vantage? Really cars are more than just 1/4 mile or lap times.

Some people in real world don't mind 380-420 hp in a car this size.

99 out of 100 people would prefer the looks of the R8 to a Vette and the 1 that doesn't is legally blind.
