How on earth is the R8 that much faster in a straight line, that much lighter, yet slower around the track while on Sport Cup 2 tyres compared to the M8 on PZeros. That makes no sense to me at all!
Phatcat I see they tested the 812 which I hadn't realized they had, any chance you could upload that test if you have it?

Yeah, yeah—I know I'm about to be berated and my experience is really but one car but, what can I say, I'm a sarcastic bastard. ![]() My sarcasm aside: the M8 and 911 are NOT in competition with one another IMnrHO. The rest of the pack are indeed competing against the 911. The fact that her fat arse beat the other two is so much more than an, "oh, really?" moment, it's downright amazing and a testament to the car's design and setup. // my license plate says it all As for the 911 winning and as I've mentioned in perhaps my total of 3 posts on the topic: the car is a sublime driver's machine and the PDK is literally defying physics... so I'd have bet my money on the 911 in this comparison every time. |

Impressive by Porsche. Mind you it's about 43K more than the M8 competition.
GTR is aging so I do not feel its fair comparison. Audi was always a 3rd place. It remains there despite having access to all the VAG technic.

Of these four I'd actually probably take the Audi. Always loved the R8, the first generation is still better, but its an awesome supercar with its NA V10 but still retains the "Audi-ness" that makes it "the daily-able supercar." Replace that 992 Turbo with a GT3 however and that would be my top pick.

0-200 km/hr 8.6 seconds insane with the Porsche
Track time very impressive for M8, granted it's a track with a couple long straights but very impressive nonetheless |

These big heavy M cars get around a track crazy fast. Reminded me of this:

8.6s in 0-200 is not insane at all for the 992. It's capable of low 8s under ideal condition.
