I was just talking to my friend about the Turbo.
The Audi R8 will be starting at $130k and it does 0-62 in 4.7 seconds. I'd rather buy the Turbo with starting price of $122k (waaay faster too).

But according to the mags the R8 handling is superior to that of the Porsche and it does 0-60 in the low 4s/4 flat. Also, a 130k estimate on the R8 is just that, I've also heard 100k quoted. Depends on the magazine.

Yeah, I'd stick to the coupe as well.

That car is so sick... But I agree I would def go with the hard top. Whats really sick is the amount of power can come out of these cars. Go over to 6speed forum and almost no one there has less than 650hp. SICK!!

it's kind of ironic to see spy shots of a convertible in the snow. hey, at least it's AWD

coupe for me as well, i like the idea of the covertable, but a 997t is mostly about performance

Yeah, I saw the same magazine last week. It actually said the R8 does 0-60 in 3.9 seconds.

Coupe for me too.
