[s-cars] LAC: Bond, James Bond - JNR

I tend to look at it from bigger picture than any absolute factor - too much compromise in cheaper built stuff that's too hard to ignore, 'better' rawness can only make up for so much.

paul,

the R8 might be faster than the viper GTS on a track, but it's almost too refined.  it's almost like driving a very nice and fast audi instead of being in a sports car.  when you're driving a viper, there's absolutely no doubt that you're driving a sports car.  one man's refinement is another man's isolation.  you've got a 930 turbo, so you should know what i mean.

an R8 with six-speed might make me feel differently.

it's not that i didn't like the R8.  i loved the car.  but the R8 didn't invoke the kind of chest beating antics that the viper does.

-t.
