I am planing on gettin an Audi R8.. (no i am not giving away my M5, i love it to death)...Should i go for the 2010 w/ the V10 motor or the older one w/ V8?..
Since this would be my first audi i need to know whether this car is even worth it? Any other options under 150K? and yes i plan to Buy it, i dun like leasing. And what color option should i go for?

If you have the finances... I'd probably go with the V10. From everything that I read and heard, the V8 just felt wayyy to underpowered for being a " super-car ".

just my .02

Under $150k there are several options: Nissan GT-R, Porsche GT3 (older) are just 2 of them

Heck, between Audi R8, GTR, or Porsches, I wouldn't even look at the GTR and Porches.

A big big piece of appeal of the R8 is style, and goddamn that car is simply sexy.

I am pretty sure Shezmon has his mind made about it already, but here's another two thumbs up for getting the R8

Hate the R8, how can you have fun with an AWD pig? I'm all about driving pleasure and the 997.2 GT3 RS is currently the best car for sale, this side of 150k

Have you driven the GT3 RS? It's a streetable race car. I'd much rather have a regular GT3 for "driving pleasure". Driving the RS for more than an hour or so especially on NY roads gets really old fast IMHO. If its a full time track car its amazing but I really don't see it as enjoyable for just a pleasure car. I love the look of the R8. It's basically a gallardo without the name and inherent price tag. If I were spending 150k on a car I'd get a used 2006-2007 ferrari 430 and never look back. There's no downside. Looks, prestige, craftsmanship, pedigree, sound, power, handling plus someone else already took the massive hit on the depreciation and a Ferrari will never go out of style I wouldn't throw the R8 out of bed though
