    Do I want to drive the R8 or the GTR tomorrow?



    Just signed up for this... Free tire testing in Fontana California tomorrow and wednesday, but you have to register on their site and select a morning or afternoon session.

    Was pleased to see the updates (see screenshot attached) and can't decide if I want to drive the GTR or the R8. What's your suggestion?

    I think the Lexus IS-F is another choice, but inferior to these two.

          The R8 is going to be easier to drive imo, it's more comfortable than the GTR but don't get me wrong its still a blast to drive. The GTR has monster acceleration and will rip your face off in corners, too. If I had to buy one of those two it would be the R8, but for a track day..I'd need to think about it.

          It's a tough call. I'd go with the Audi r8 (if its the v10 version)

            Having driven the GTR before, id say if the r8 is the v8 model go drive the GTR, otherwise v10 r8 FTW (stock vs. stock of course)

                The R8 sounds nice but isn't as much fun to drive as a GTR, nahmean? Don't get me wrong it's plenty quick, but the GTR just feels more like a car.

                I say R8 because you're less likely to get another chance any time soon.

                        R8 hands down.

                        The GTR is cool, but meh.

                              like said above...if the r8 v10 is the choice....r8 all day.

                              if not then go with the gtr and try to melt the clutch if you dare
