R8 times a million, even if it was the base and not the V10 here. What i'd really like though is that diesel V12 in the TDI Le Mans concept!

Can't control the weather, they are in England for heaven's sake!!

They are one of the few automotive reporters that test every car they get on the same track with the same professional driver. That amounts to alot IMO.

For sure! If burning $180k on a factory stock car, I'm buying something Italian! Because at $180k, it's not about how fast it is. lol

I will take the R8. If I want to toss around a mean muscle car such as the ZR1, I'll slap a heads/cam+TVS2300 on my FRC.

The R8 V10 does sound nice, but it's too bland from behind.

I would like to point out that the "Volkswagen" has a Lamborghini Chassis and Engine.
It probably won't be long until boost logic or UR has a turbo on one.

I would go for the R8. If I'm going to drop over 100k on any new car, it better be pretty special though.
Frankly, one of the new 911 turbos would be even better. Apparently they're a hair slower than a ZR1 around a track and quicker in the 1/4.
Even Car and Driver managed to get an 11.0 at 128mph out of a stock one. It's also closer in price to the ZR1 than the R8 (130k starting).

Volkswagen owns Audi, Porsche, Lamborghini, and Bugatti, so there are plenty of $350,000+ VWs rolling around, and some $1.5MILLION+ VWs, according to your logic. Just because they built crappy golfs 10 years ago doesn't mean they don't know their way around a super car. I would drive anything they build today. Not buy, but drive.

underground racing also has one, 1500 horsepower.
