Default WS6 vs Audi R8

Sorry, no vid.


Let's just preface this by saying yes, I knew I was going to get my doors blown off. Lol.

Just got off work and was making my way too the freeway when I see a gorgeous White R8 V10. Black wheels, black accents, limo tint. Oh and the exhaust note sounded like sex.

He just happened to be going the same way as me so I started driving a little more spirited to let him know I was game. He was hauling *** already so I figured he was too. A silly Mazdaspeed 3 did a fly-by on him and he immediately chased so at that point I knew it was going down.

We hopped on the freeway and I did a little 2-3 pull to show him I was ready. He quickly caught up and I slowed down to get next to him. I put up 3 fingers to tell him 3 honks, he was already rolling down the window to confirm (God I love when people actually understand this).

I honked it off from about 50, I was in second gear. I stole the hit just a tad jut because I knew I was going to get raped in the first place. By the time I was shifting into 4th he was probably 4 cars out on me lol. I didn't care though. The car sounded INCREDIBLE and the transmission was hitting those shifts lightning fast.

We did one more run with similar results, then exchanged a thumbs up and went our ways. He was a cool younger guy, and I was surprised to be honest. Most R8's I've seen wouldn't even look my way.

Fun little experience that mad my day a little better...and made me want to mod up a bit. Just for reference my car is a 2001 WS6 M6 with Bolt-Ons, no tune. Traps 112ish.

Next time hopefully I'll get a vid!

Im guessing it was the 5.2 v10 not the 4.2 v8. I've seen glimpses of one on base before. I'd love to have one.

Def was. I'd like to see how a bolt on LS1 fairs in comparison to an R8 V8.

Nice death.

Guy on my street just bought one, no idea on the details I've only passed it a couple times while he was leaving in it. Really nice looking cars.

R8 V10 is the Lambo Gallardo V10 - and yes they sound awesome, especially at WOT. I wish the Vipers could sound like this instead of a labouring diesel truck, maybe I would want one...

**** man, they could have been pro drivers racing on cut Cup tires and you would have still beat them. Think I'm gonna buy you a set of oars shaped like shifters for your birthday.

I had the pleasure of running a V10 version of the R8 several months back and it was ugly for him. Car looked and sounded sick tho I can't lie.
