Default RSKY R8 vs RSKY LP570

Both are mine, I wanted to see how they stack up..

2011 Audi R8 spyder V10 vs. a 2011 Lamborghini lp570.

Both are stock. The difference is HUGE! same motor basically but the R8 is so heavy and the transmission so slow, it just gets crushed over and over from different speeds..

I thought the R8 was a worthy alternative to the lambo.

And sweet garage!

Ya'll forget the major weight difference between the two. Wikipedia has it at nearly 1000lb difference

Crazy how the R8 is a TINY car as well but some how a 1000lbs heavier.

LOL @ people saying weight doesnt matter from a roll...

It's the difference between a high 120 trap car and a high teen/low 120 trap car.

The R8 has actually been fairly slow against all of the other super cars of that range. It wasnt until the 2010 $200k R8 that it finally exceeded the 2003 Gallardo in terms of horsepower(But still less than the LP-570).

In short. Want an R8 and actual performance? Buy a 911 Turbo (Torque and Double clutch vs useless revs and crummy single clutch trans).

Was worse than I expected. R8 just hit a new low in my books, which is sad because I really like them.

Any info on the R8 GT times/performance as a possible contender?

Living in Hawaii to boot. Not exactly the cheapest place in the world to live. He must be doing pretty well for himself

Nice cars!
