Did you guys see the 997.2 turbo vs Audi R8 twin turbo battle? The Porsche just killed the R8 in every test, including the handling course. My favorite episode so far.

this show is a huge disappointment to me! they have such great cars but ruin it with the pro wrestling banter. and why do they need to start and end each commercial break with a summary of what just happened? they never even tell us how the cars drive compared to each other either. only speed channel could make a comparison of gumpert apollo and gt malan boring

Thanks, I just got that issue - the turbo S pretty much killed everything. Is Porsche being very conservative on the HP/torque of this car? My turbo S arrives soon. I was thinking about getting the R8 V10, I just cancelled that idea.
