R35 Gtr Vs Audi R8

[malinmc]

Have a read of the TopGear comparison and laugh at the final conclusion where the result is handed to the Audi R8 even though the writer mentions, " I seriously doubt there is a car on the planet that can corner faster or more aggressively than this". It is faster, better engineered than the R8 but still the GTR lost. What more can the GTR do to get respect among European car journalists. I say to them " BLOW MY WHISTLE BIATCH".

I just read the last page.

They gave the award to the R8 because they say its a better driver's car. Given Top Gear's long-standing position on the more enjoyable car being better than the faster car, the decision isn't unusual for them. Having never driven either its hard to say if they're right, but having driven cars that were fast but remote vs cars that are slow but responsive, I know which I enjoy driving on the road more.

As for respect, the Europeans (especially the British) have plenty of respect for the GT-R. The R32 GT-R is one of Clarkson's best cars of all time (and Clarkson's one of the biggest douchebags in the car review world when it comes to brand snobbery). In Hot Metal he really liked that JUN 1000hp R33 he drove. I think if he was ever let at a Z-Tune, he'd adore it too. Tiff's felt the same about GT-Rs as well.
