Porsche has a long proven history in bulding great track and street cars.
Don't get me wrong, the R8 is a fantastic car....but the hype will diminish as time goes by.

Enjoy and Happy Holidays to all.
they both have a unique value to offer, i dont' understand why some of you always make this an either/or battle since it's likely you aren't on porsche's payroll or a family member.
i love the R8, and i love the gt3. audi should be applauded for their accomplishment.
It seems like you never like to take a positive spin on this forum...LOL
I'm sure some other members here will agree.
There has been is alot of hype about the R8 being a new and the first supercar that Audi has put on the streets. I thought us P car guys will get a kick out of this video clip.
Take a chill pill and MERRY Christmas to you.
Both great cars.....And Porsche fans are some of the most loyal in the world, if this were not the case we would be seeing this in an Audi Form.What did you think Benjamin Choi ,Why should I applaud them ?
the r8 has met and exceeded expectations
and it's got nothing to do with being positive - it has everything to do with being candid and keeping it real. your definition of positive is hype/fluff/myopic - take the red pill if it means it gets you back into a more honest reality.
cheers bud
Your right they don't ,however its not like the Porsche costs more. I will give them credit when credit is due, when the R8 costs less and beats the GT3.
Just for the record i like the R8.
Precisely the point...somehow BC doesn't get it...no one is bashing the R8 or kissing the GT3's ***.
It almost sounds like Audi paid BC a buck or 2 to come up with such an irrelevant comment.
i don't know what the hype is all about regrading the R8. aluminum chassis yet it is a freaking pig of a "sports car". 8 cylinders, 4.16L and only 420HP. the gt3 is 3k lbs, 6 cylinders w/ 3.6L and 415HP. the r8's performance specs are quite underwhelming. if you only consider looks then it's all about preference. the r8 has only ONE good view... front 3/4. HATE the side burns. the r8 is an above average car but it is NOT an awesome car.

I like the R8 and for daily driving would gladly take it but as you can see if the track is your game then go with the GT3. What I am waiting for is the test on the new Corvette, I am guessing it will smoke the GT3 - but time will tell! Anyway will stick with my C4 Cab as there is nothing that can touch it for the money in my book.
As usual, Riad cuts to the core of the matter, accurately describing the R8 as a kneepad-wearing groupie to the rock star GT3.
I enjoy Jeremy Clarkson's videos, but I don't understand his virulent antipathy (yeah, I got a dictionary for Xmas) towards all things Porsche. Maybe a german chick once schtuped him.
One of my favorite Clarkson moments was when he had a guy with a .50 caliber Browning open up a Prius like a can of discount cat food.
Wow, didn't know I needed to be on the payroll to have an opinion. Maybe you're right. We should love all cars and appreciate their significant value to our esteemed society. In fact, who's up for a campfire and a round of kumbaya?
I've never thought that JC was biased against Porsches at all. Indeed, he raved about the club coupe sport against the M6 and the Aston a while back.
As for the Audi, I like the shape, the interior, and the smoothness, but those "sideburns" are appropriately awful. I think that you can get them painted the color of the car, but I've not seen one dressed as so.
It seemed to me the Stig was pretty much allowing the R8 to keep it close. I think if he wanted he could have totally dusted that thing. I still love the R8, but it appears if they both went all out the GT3 at least on the track would be way ahead if both were going all out. Maybe I am wrong and he wasn't allowing it to be close, but it certainly appeared that way.
I agree with the observation/opinion voiced by Ben. Both cars are desirable and comparable in concept as high performance sports cars. I have a 911, but see the R8 as a car I'd like to own, too.
I'm with nycebo here...the contrasting blades/sideburns are not to my liking and if I were to order an R8, I'd have them painted to match the color of the car.
The R8 needs to be compared to the 997 C4S not to the GT3. Even in this comparison (see below link), the tester's conclusion is: "the disenchanting of the Legend is once more postponed".

IF the Audi R8 makes it to forty years and still around and some fellow in his fortys has been coveting one his whole life and buys the lastest 2048 Audi R8 then perhaps it can share the same hollowed ground that the 911 now owns.
Until then its a wanna be, like they all are.
Now having said that the Audi is one sweet ride, will never be a legend though.
Happy holidays folks.
Well, would she be faster if she, you know... stopped talking? Just asking.
Make mine a 911 GT3. Hell, make mine
any
911. That Audi is awesome, but it's a one-off design. Nothing timeless. No elan.
