im sorry to kill your vibe but if you read the description that turbo s has a stage 2 ecu remap + capristo exhaust vs a stock R8. The one i posted is stock vs stock.

I don't know about calling it an '*** kicking' but the Audi was indeed faster at the top end 200 KPH +, which does not surprise me. I suspect the C of D is lower in an R8? The R8 is a nice car, but I think in most head to head tests the final nod usally goes to the PCar.

I enjoy both for different reasons. I love the top down sound of my R8 V10 and shifting it as well. Its a beast, but there is no doubt that TTS is faster and is just fierce if running hard.

Two chimps pressed an accelerator on a dead straight road. One chimp was faster. No skill required at all in driving either of those cars in that video. All you need is a bag of cash and a right foot to join that joke club.

Both are great cars. Both have strengths and weaknesses as compared to the other. Congratulations for finding one thing the R8 does better.

R8 is champ at: rolling start drag

TTS is champ at: 0-60, 0-100, 0-100-0, 1/8, 1/4, top speed, braking, lap times, slalom...

I have been DD my R8 V10 +, and it is truly a more refined car than the 991TTS. But yesterday i jump in my TTS with ungraded turbos @650 whp,
i forgot how F***ing brutally and scary fast the car is
