My thoughts exactly.

But I'll take the R8. That shouldn't even be hard choice, even on i-Club.

I would also take the R8, i'm trying to get out of the dick-magnet market.

The r8 would be something I'd want,... Then reality sinks in with insurance and maintenance cost. Wonder if this super car is better than others?

Well, I for one wanna know if that R8 was the 414hp 317tq V8, or the 525hp 391tq V10 version..... big difference in performance for sure.

and @ abakja1: nah, I would consider this car on the fringe of the "supercar" category. Sure it's priced around 100k, but there is no comparison in bad-assness when placed next to a Lambo or a Ferrari. After all, isn't the fun of driving an exotic car, that your clutch costs $10,000 and it only lasts 4k-10k miles? :PPP
