    Why didn't they compare the turbo to it? Seems pretty strange especially since they noted the price gap and the fact that the Audi has another 2 cylinders . . . .

    Great video. I am assuming that was a 4S with an X-51 powerkit. Basically they fought to a draw. I think price wise they are pretty close. I think a 9974S with X-51 is pushing $115K with a decent list of options. I think the R8 is pretty and will be a waiting list car for some time to come. Gotta hand it to Audi - they certainly built a bona fide contender.

    I think I would still take a GT3 though.
