If I were you I'd get the r8. Ignore the better exotica out there, exotica just means shoddy build and stupid stupid pricing and constant changing of fragile parts. The R8 is superb

Benjy said:I knew you'd come through for me Steve.... hope you are ok mate?
This is exactly my thoughts on it Steve and was the reason that Nigel bought his. It is an awesome thing and surprised the hell out of me on how subtle it is at normal driving speeds, plus you didnt feel like you were in a supercar until you looked in the side mirrors and could see the big arches sticking out on either side. Then stuck your foot down and that noise.... OMG!
Anyway I'm going to try and get up to one of your meets this year mate and maybe see if some of the AMG boys are up for it. I think the tempatation of some of those beautiful roads up there.
Speak soon.
I'm the opposite, I think the R8 is an expensive TT with a nice engine, but if i wanted a quality V10 i'd go for the BMW derivative. Just seems to me that it is the product of the permutation of Audi/VW/Lambo parts bin.
You only live once though... if its what you want, go for it!

If you are going to get one, get the R8 V10 - it's a masterpiece, in that it is the most practical supercar you can own, and a big step up from the V8 in terms of delivering the full potential of the platform. Plus it sounds so much better...
The downside is that you get all the "supercar" issues when driving around town. Whereas the C63 is reasonably anonymous, the R8 will always attract attention. You'll find that the only non-disabled parking spaces that are "big enough" for the R8 have a big painted line running through the middle and are normally used for parking 2 smaller cars in one space
To be fair, John, there are all sorts of problems with that film clip, interesting though it undoubtedly is.
It's the 'wussy' R8 V8 - not the V10 the OP is interested in. The timings shown at the end bear no resemblance to the separation between the cars witnessed in the run. And why only burn out the M-B? No great surprise that it shot off the line in comparison with the R8.
In summary - not really a fair fight - IMO of course.
Interesting... Man that SLS is fast in a straight line. Great engines those 6.2 AMG's

Benjy - If the R8 is what you have your heart set on then do it, you only live once.
If I had that kind of money it'd be a 911 Turbo for me
