Or your thoughts about the new R8 you just driven. I know they are not really direct competition but since you just reviewed the R8 that would be interesting.

Hi guys,

I am still working on the review and I have not forgotten you guys. I just posted a new thread with a very short video of me dumping the clutch in the PDK just to show you a bit how it feels. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...9#post18514649

I will mention it more detailed in the full review.

Also, I would like to say that it's hard to compare this car to the R8 but overall the R8 of course felt more modern and the steering is better than in the GT3 in my opinion. It's a lot faster and more direct which I personally enjoy a lot. However, the screaming boxer 6 sounds a bit nicer to my ears and more brutal than the more refining sounding V10.

Overall the R8 is more comfortable and more of a daily car than the GT3 of course. I could own an R8 in the States for example but not a GT3. This car needs to be driven on open, top quality roads where you can go 125 mph + legally. Unless you go to the track regularly and can afford to have the GT3 as an extra weekend car of course.


Danke!
