VIDEO: Web Rides TV pits the Audi R8 against the LS3 Corvette!

The R8 utilizes a high-revving 4.2L V8 and AWD to keep the rubber firmly planted on the pavement. Both vehicles have over 400 hp, weigh in at under 3,500 lbs and have similar 0-60 times, but for the price of one R8 you could by a LS3 and Z06 Corvette.
The car nuts over at Web Rides TV put the two vehicles through a "Super Lap" consisting of a slalom, a straightaway, and two sharp turns to see which vehicle would come out on top. The result produced an entertaining video, some great sounds and a very clear winner. Hit the jump to see it for yourself.

Lol...you could buy two vettes for that price, or a fully loaded Z06 and smoke the **** out of it in the straights and keep pace in the corners, or at least not get left behind.

****, I'd pay $40,00 per second to beat some lowly Corvette on some goofy assed course in the middle of no where, (couldn't afford to rent a real race track) driven
by some tard. Something about apples and oranges and media spin!
