    LOL!

    I had an Alfa Romeo GT, full spec's. This was so luxury and with the 3.2 v6 had plenty of power. I replaced the Alfa to a Mitsubishi EVO X. Because of the harsh winters here the EVO was a great choice(rally car in the snow, safe and fun), but feature wise is a terrible car inside and Im sad to say this because I love EVO's but so low build quality for the interior. When your driving every day in a car, it was important for me.

    So looking at the GTR and R8 was looking back at the Alfa GT and EVO. Japanese and European. The Audi was just more nice inside for long trips, and going into the Scuderia after is still amazing.

    Late to this zakeen, we have an Evo X and a new 2014 GTR. I have to admit daily driving the GTR does diminish enjoyment in the Italians somewhat. Sure, I also appreciate the beauty and driving experience of the "weekend" cars but they do feel slow after 5 days in the GTR.

    Anyway, who cares about my opinion, I checked with someone who matters:

    Doesn't feel as big as 360, nicer interior, more fit like glove feeling. Not overwhelmingly more powerful than 360, but difference is noticeable. Better sounding in lower rpm and sound just as good in higher rpm.

    IMO 360 <Gallardo<F430

    I too have an r35 DD and a Strad for special occasions and echo these thoughts entirely

    What? r8 is almost by any definition a sporty DD. are you thinking S8? I'm confused. It not a scud or CS, but its a mid engine high rev v8 or v10 with 2 seats. That says sports car by any definition I've seen...it's got Audi luxury so it's a damn nice sports car, with some GT-like features and a downgrade of rawness from the extreme cars like scud and CS, but still...

    For some reason I think I like my gallardo better than my scud. Probably due to the low rpm sound of the v10..

    S63 gets all the DD action though
