guessing that with 4 wheel drive, its prob harder to drift it-
and also with a car that heavy!!

woulda been nice if they used a track with more curves rather than just a circle

IMO the new M3's exhaust note sounds nicer.

the porsche drifting was sad too, but if the point was the engine noise then it had a good point!

Doesn't sound exotic enough...

if i am lucky enough to pick one up, i will ask if they can remove the exhaust baffles-
most of these cars have 'em so that at low around town speeds the car is quieter. on wot, the sounds are completely different.

have a friend who did this on his aston martin vanquish and the sound of that car is amazing!

He's sitting to far back from the wheel.
he's right about the sound.
If the exhaust is anything like my S4 its Vacuum opperated. Actually CLOSES a portion of the exhaust above 1700RPMs. You can pull the vac line off the exhaust and it makes it alittle raspier.
I think for real supercar sound you need a new exhaust.

Although there are faster cars for the money, this R8 is so refined and looks like a great daily driver, I'd pick it over a 911. Not saying a 911 is not refined or a good driver, just this seems to be a cut above. Should have 50 more poines though. Sort of reminds me of a modern day NSX, little underpowered but so much better in other ways.

I'd rather a great athelete make these comments as opposed to "Jay Leno".

you mean "jay leno" a LONG TIME car enthusiast who has probably had the chance to drive more cars and has better experience in actually making a comparison then your "great athlete"

...oh, I forgot, he also knows has the ability to speak without studdering and sounding like an idiot; he can also get ideas and his thought across to the audience much better then most, considering he talks for a living

You don't need to break records to give feedback on cars, merely push them and also DRIVE them as they should be. If this was a Formula 1 comparison between Williams and Ferrari, then your "athlete" may be better suited then Jay.

what's wrong with jay leno making comments about the car? like the other guy said...he's probably got more experience with cars than any "great athlete" out there. Plus, he's a car enthusiast, not one of those car athletes looking for a ballin' car just to look good when they stand by it.
