Pulled up next to an Audi R8! - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

A R8 V8 runs a 12.8 in the quarter mile. Stock LS3 territory. The V10 made by Lamborghini is another story.

There's a guy running around in a Scion tC in Annapolis with the sides painted like the panels on a R8 ... lol

Happened the same to me this afternoon.. We stop side by side on a traffic light... I've arrived faster to the next one.. The guy gave me a thumbs up.. I've rolled down my window and asked if it was a v10 or v8.. He answered v8.. So I guess camaro is faster.. But he could be just a bad pilot..

The Audi is nice but at that price range so many better performing and looking cars for less. ZR1, GTR Nismo, Viper ACR to name a few.

my dream car.

<===me when I see one.

I always see r8's and think to myself.... you could have a previous gen 911 turbo for alot less....atleast thats what I would have.

yep, doesn't take much to beat the v8 model. Probably takes less than a Zl1 to walk one

I absolutely love R8s. I think its awesome how they use an old school gated shifter. Looks so badass.

raptor5244 · 04-25-2015, 07:46 PM

It was probably a v8, you would know if it was the v10. The power delivery is very pesky in those cars. You would probably take it off the line with the gobs of torque we have down low but then once the v10 starts screaming it should just whiz on by.

Lets be honest a sane person would take an v8 R8 vs camaro any day.

SSeniorMoment · 04-25-2015, 08:21 PM

I lead a sheltered life out here in the country, never heard of the R8 'til this thread.

LOL @ last 2 posts ^

FusionX86 · 06-27-2015, 11:42 AM

I'd take a R8 over my ZL1 only if it was given to me. Then I'd sell it, get a ZL1 + mods or a Z06 and pocket the difference. Yes, I like that outcome and I consider myself sane...

SrtWtF · 06-27-2015, 10:30 PM

For the price of the R8 I'd finish paying off my house and buy another SS an mod the crap outa it :-)
