Well, FWLIW I seem to have acquired an R8 (the manual tranny version) back
in May.  Without trying to take sides one way or another, except for the
troglodyte who's made at R&T for their articles not being up to Krasusky
standards :-), and if I'm recalling the publication correctly, a month or
two back they re-did their "Best Track Cars" issue, this time with Randy
Pobst at the wheel ~> ahhhh never mind the troglodyte competition, it was in
the August issue of MotorTrend, http://tinyurl.com/67853u

In any event, the article covered ten (10) cars, including both the Viper
ACR (if raw is what you really want, at least one or two steps up on the GTS
I believe) and the Audi R8.  If it's any conciliation to either of you, I
think you're both right, ..... except you know in Randy's opinion, with a
time of "only" 1:40.92 the R8 (page 3) won notwithstanding the Viper's
putting in a lap 5.5 seconds faster at 1:35.117

As Randy's (& I'm sure Paul's) first High School GF told him, "Hey Boys,
speed ain't everything."   :-)

That said, I have to agree there can be a certain "numbness" involved ....
probably those Altoids Paul's always going on about  :-)  That said, one
thing one can seem to do with almost impunity in the R8 is pile back on
power almost anywhere, anytime  It kind of makes you feel you should have
never slowed down for the corner that much in the first place ... Weird

Cheers, Mikee
