We finally got rid of M3dude, now this guy comes along. WHY be on a Audi-forum, if you hate these cars (not just don't like them, but hate them?).

look at your signature? Why write something like that? WHY? To piss of Audi-fans? I don't see any other purposes. :(

I have no issues with your opinion about the Audi R8 being "average" compared to the "awesome" CS (even though, we all know it should be the opposite way around :)). Also, there is nothing wrong about being a non-audi fan on this board.

The problem i see here, is the way you go about conversing with the other board members. There is no reason to imply that someone is a pervert or homosexual. Obviously there is some tension amongst yourself and some other board members, but please refrain from attacking a comment made by RXBG for the sake of invoking an argument.

You are obviously entitled to your opinion but being on a board where nearly 100% of the members are die hard Audi fans, do expect ciriticism. Just try to handle your replies in a more mature manner.

I am still unsure why he has returned?

I do understand why he is upset with me personally as I dislike to 360 and don't rate it as good as either the 996-997GT3 in either normal or RS form or even the R8. But to seriously verbally attack is very immature and not the sort of thing one expects from someone who is clearly quite intelligent to have the kind of job that provides the sort of money to afford the cars he owns.

I don't have a problem with him and after the discussion/debate with M3_dude I feel anything would be easier to deal with, but preferably without the abuse..........please.

My god, your more full of donkey turd than i though.

When have i EVER discussed with you the merits of a 360 to a GT3 of any sort. The answer you look for is never. So again, your making stuff up to try and support some pathetic argument you have whilst trying to dis-credit someone else. As expected from you. You may think verbally standing up against someone full of lies is immature, i consider someone who literally makes things up even more immature.

As for the 360 to the GT3, I personally think the 360 is a better car than a 996 GT3. Thats personal opinion. Add into that i find nearly al Porsche's dull, with no sense of occasion or passion (ike the R8) and im happy with my choice. The 997 GT3 is however a leap above the 360 and so it should be, its a brand new car while i have had my 360 for 7 years.

Oh, by the way, what experience do you have that qualify's you to discuss the merits of the 360 vs the GT3. Spent a decent amount of seat time in either, had ownership experience, ever even sat in either.
Again making comments and judgements based on f all - thats what your all about though, oh and your high powered make believe Audi contacts:lovl:

I am an Audi fan, im a big Audi fan which is why i bought an S5. I just don't like the R8 and the hype and crap spouted about it by most on here makes me like it even less. Its about as close to being a supercar as the Audi TT, it does not have serious performance (its handing helps its lap times), its over-priced, over -hyped, looks like a cut and shut TT and is devoid of any sense of occasion or passion.

Thats my opinion and im entitled to it. Doesn't mean im not an Audi fan, its just i judge a car on a car, not by the badge that appears on it.

I haven't a problem with you liking or disliking any car, but why are you so abusive when someone happens to disagree with you. I like many here happen to rate the R8 very highly indeed, is there something wrong with that.:brag:

You seem to prefer outright performance over fine handling as you yourself state that the R8's lap times are helped by it's handling. We all know that Audi chose to enter this sector with a car which wouldn't be priced to dear as to turn away customers and looking at it's sales and the premiums it use to command they got the price point on. We also know that when the R8v10 arrives it's performance will address one of the other complaints you have about the car which is performance, so all there is left is the passion. This is a very personal thing that is different to each person, I have driven the R8 only once (on the road), likewise the 360 and the 430 as well as the GT3 (on the track) and I felt it was every bit as special as any of the others. It might has been the most civilised of the bunch with the GT3 the most extreme and it's engine note couldn't compete with either of the Ferraris but that to me made it more appealing as an everyday car.

I just find your opinions very black and white with no compromises in between, but as this is your opinion you are welcome to have it as long as I and others as equally welcome to disagree with it.

I acknowledge your opinion ellstimpo, i see what you mean. I have never driven the Audi R8 but I am interested to know (assuming you have driven it) the differences between it and the 360 on the road and on the track.

To tell you the truth, i do not personally know anyone that owns an R8. However i know a number of people that own 360's and their progression after that was the 430 or even the Scagletti. From numerous online reviews and test drives, the R8 is surpassing expectations on the road and on the track and is being compared on the level of the Gallardo and 430.

So in all, if you have given the R8 a flogging, what are the similarities/differences between the 360CS and R8.

I have had my 360 for 7 years and i love it. Its far from perfect but it fits me. Add into that its never ever gone wrong (touch wood) not been that expensive to run and i deff have an attachment to my car. Part of the reason i dislike the R8 is for the same reason i dislike the way the Gallardo drives. I nearly bought a Gallardo when it first came out, but after a test drive at Millbrook, i was left feeing very dissappointed (although i did end up buying a Gallardo Spyder, but it didn't last long).

When i buy a car at this level, i want to actually drive the car, i want to have fun and feel the car on its limit. For me the 4 wheel drive system on a car like this removes nearly all the enjoyment and fun factor from the car and you do not feel like you are driving it. In a word, they are boring. Maybe even too good. The 360 is a car that needs to be controlled, its fun and interesting to drive and if you don't pay attention, it will bite you, quite hard - i love that and thats why i buy this kind of car. In the R8 you can switch off and almost any mistake wil be sorted for you by the car. I ask you, where is the fun, the excitment in that. Its dull dull dull and the opposite of what i look for in a car.

It looks unlike anything else on the road (except the 430 i guess), its incredably well made and turns heads like you wouldn't believe, plus the noise, well. Add into that a passion for Ferrari since i was a little boy, had a poster of one on my wall and the years of racing heritage and supercar manufacturering and for me, you have THE best car maker in the world. With my 360 i got the complete package and the realisation of a dream. The R8 cabin may be very nice, but its boring and dull to me, you do not feel like your in a sports car. You feel like your in an S5 or an A4 and it just doesn't hit the spot. Oh, and one more thing about the R8, its mass produced.

Over the years i have thought about getting something else an as i said i have had a Gallardo Spyder and a DB9 Volante and a 360 Spider, all didn't last long. I have rather put money into my business ventures recently than spend money on cars. I have an order down for something, but no idea when they will develop it and honestly, i think my 360 CS itch will have to be scratched soon, its such a raw stunning car that corrects the faults with the 360. The R8 is far better for everday road use, but again, not the point of cars like this and not what i buy one for. I have an S5 for that stuff.

430 i hate the look of, but its a great car. The 430 Scud is on a different planet to anything i have driven before, but its a £200k+ car, the 599 is again sublime, but £215k car -

I have never doubted the R8 is a good car, it is a good car. Its not for me and one thing is 100% certain, ITS NOT A SUPERCAR !!!

(i get annoyed when people make absolute verdicts on cars they have never experienced)

Good response. I have driven neither of the two so therefore I cannot comment. I do understand where you are going with the feel of the CS compared to the R8, they are quite different mechanically, asthetically and purposely. I now understand your demands when looking at a supercar and why the Audi R8 does not meet your expectations. I also agree with you on the F430, i dislike the sheetmetal but the performance is spectacular (I have been driven in one and lectured left and right about it's capabilities compared to its competition).

In all, i stand by my original statment, "The R8 is a sports car with supercar performance." It may not have the pedigree or edginess of the F430, or the sheer outwright power of the Galllardo, but it does capture everything inbetween and it does it so, on an impressive level. Considering all factors, I personally rank the R8 in the league of the Gallardo and F430.

I'd expect an F430 to be closer, and a Scuderia should beat a GTR (which it should at over 3 times the price). The V10 R8 should also be right in there.

The guy in the 360 may be a totally crap driver

Or, he may have had a heart attack after realizing that his car was slow after paying all that money.

So bad that he doesn't know how to go full throttle down a straight? Maybe he should go get lessons from a 12 year-old.



There may be a problem with the 360
There is. It's slow and overpriced.



The jap crap may simply be a faster car
Well done, you got there eventually. It's a faster car but it's crap because it doesn't have a prancing horse on it. I'm sure you could pick up the badge from a pawn shop and retro fit it, if you're that desperate.:hihi:



Please in future don't post videos showing 360s getting raped by other cars because I won't accept them as fact or evidence because they are not Ferraris, they are merely better cars and are also affordable.
Fixed.

I wouldn't think that a 996 Turbo is necessarily faster than a 360. I can understand why you wouldn't want an Ultima. It's a stripped-bare track car. No stereo etc. The GTR on the other hand comes with a Bose stereo, air con, fully-adjustable electric seats etc. etc. You say you like to put money into your business but I struggle to believe you. You'd rather pay an extra £50-60k for a badge - all money you could have invested.:nana:

There is. It's slow and overpriced.


Well done, you got there eventually. It's a faster car but it's crap because it doesn't have a prancing horse on it. I'm sure you could pick up the badge from a pawn shop and retro fit it, if you're that desperate.:hihi:


Fixed.


I wouldn't think that a 996 Turbo is necessarily faster than a 360. I can understand why you wouldn't want an Ultima. It's a stripped-bare track car. No stereo etc. The GTR on the other hand comes with a Bose stereo, air con, fully-adjustable electric seats etc. etc. You say you like to put money into your business but I struggle to believe you. You'd rather pay an extra £50-60k for a badge - all money you could have invested.:nana:

I suspect that the Scuderia and the R8v10 should be neck and neck with the GTR.

I'd expect the Scuderia to beat the cuirrent GTR in all fairness. With a decent driver it should at least equal the GT2's 'ring time. But then at £175,000 vs £55,000 (or £50,000 on import) it should be better.

The performance of the R8 V10 is dependent on what the weight comes out at but it's perceivable that a 500-520bhp R8 weighing 1600-1700kg, with a decent driver, should be competitive with a GTR. Time will tell.

From a standing start. That's called having better traction not being faster.:hihi:

The 360 is decisively faster from 60 onwards and 0-100 according to Evo and Autocar figures and it's also faster on track in Evo's Bedford Autodrome figures. Clutches don't hold out long launching like that with AWD either

I have owned a 360 for 7 years. My mate had his 996 Turbo for 4 years until recently sold for a 997 Turbo. I think i know better than most which is a faster car from EXPERIENCE, not looking what some magazine says or some motoring journalist.

Until you have experienced BOTH cars personally, then to me your opinion (thats all it can be) is totally and utterly irrelevant and more importantly totally WORTHLESS

Don't blame the car because you can't drive. Even in that video, you can see that the 360 is closer at the end then it is part way through the race - inference. You can actually see where the 360 starts to reel it in. I can guarantee you that if you start the two side by side at 70mph, the Ferrari will pull away. I've seen it happen.

I think I speak for a few on here when I say that your opinions are worthless, wrong and annoying. If you think a 996 is faster than a 360 from a roll then you need to re-sit Physics. From a standing start it's all about traction (and torque). Hell, I can beat a 360 on foot over the first 10m. Can I run faster than a 360?




Seriously guys, why do so many people on here give opinions and judgements on how fast cars are and how well they drive when you have never even been near the car in question. Its so so so stupid
You tell us. I've been near plenty of them. I've also driven a 993TT and a 355 at Snetterton. The Porsche was faster up to triple figures but after that the Ferrari pulled harder, which was truly suprising as the 355 never felt anywhere near as fast. I noticed this due to the fact that the Porsche lap times were faster with me driving (not pushing it on corners) but the Ferrari always hit higher peak speeds. If you'd raced the whole length of Elvington you'd have realised this with the 360, unless its engine is thrashed due to improper driving/driver.


Why don't you find me a video showing a roll race from 70mph.

Not doubting you but can you actually post any pictures of you and your car(s)? Raise your right leg in the picture as proof.

I don't like the 430, i don't want to spend £200k on a Scuderia (i'd by an F40 if i was to buy in that price range), the Gallardo i don't like (i have owned one, but i know you cant read), the Gallardo SL is no way better than a 360 CS. i have never bought a Porsche and will never buy a Porsche. Besides i have something on order and its not made by any company mentioned on this thread.

A true Ferrari enthusiast would buy a Scuderia??? Taking levels of dumbness to a new low.

Basically yes, that is the reason why both myself and others responded the way we did. I think there is a general consensus in the motoring world that the R8 is above average, regardless of loyalties. Only a cradle-bourne child who's daddy owns a Ferrari would refuse to recognise this. It's also a car that's manageable by lesser skilled individuals and on tracks/roads that aren't 5 cars wide.

Of course by your reckoning I'm not entitled to opinions on a car if I've never driven one, just as I'd have to shoot someone to know that guns kill.

You are twisting things around, that is totally different than looking down on someone because he/she drives an inferior car than you. I personally wouldn't spent that much on a car, but I wouldn't class someone else a dick for choosing to do so.

No matter what I or anyone else happen to say you as seem to argue for the sake of it. I give up. :doh:

P.S.

I didn't realise how cheap the 360s are down to now, I could have got one instead of the S5 but then again I wouldn't want the service bills as I reckon they must be murder.

I don't look down on people who drive an inferior car to me at all. I look down at people who slate my choice of car because i don't like the R8 and who drive a £5k Nissan. There is nothing left to do than look down at people like that.

Glad you have given up, your boring, repatative and a total hypocrite

I think to enjoy this forum you and the pet weasel will go on ignore

I've lost £60k in 7 years on depreciation on my 360. Would i go back and do it again, hell yes. I don't buy cars to worry about depreciation, i buy them to enjoy and use.

a £5k Nissan and your having a go at me. :lovl: :lovl: :lovl: Nice Nissan :lovl:
Cost effective, 0-125mph in 15s as bought. I never ever feel short-changed. I bet your last service cost nearly as much.:mech: :deal:



I don't like the 430, i don't want to spend £200k on a Scuderia (i'd by an F40 if i was to buy in that price range),
Oh come one, Mr. MoneyBags, I thought you had loads of money.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXuRvthgn4U

Out of curiosity, are you going for the F40 for an investment, or for track performance?




the Gallardo i don't like (i have owned one, but i know you cant read), the Gallardo SL is no way better than a 360 CS. i have never bought a Porsche and will never buy a Porsche.
Well, it looks like I was wrong, you're not obsessed by brand after all.



A true Ferrari enthusiast would buy a Scuderia??? Taking levels of dumbness to a new low. The most enthusiastic and knowledgeable person on Ferrari i have ever met, doesn't own one because he hasn't got the cash Does it make him less of an enthusiast because he cannot own one?? No and it would be a massive insult to him to say that .
But I thought you had money to burn? You seem to make plenty of inferences about me because I only paid £5k for a car, yet here you are, claiming you are an enthusiast, without being able to afford the very best that money can buy. Mr. I would never buy a Porsche.:noshake: Tut tut. Maybe if you're really nice to Santa next year.....



Old man, not really, 29 aint to old is it child. Im driving around in an S5 and a Ferrari and your driving around in shite box Nissan:lovl: And your having a go at me. Oh this is too funny.
You're right it is. Seen as the 996 beat you over a quarter, it seems likely that my car would too. Saving - £100k+rise&dividends. Maybe if you bought the one with paddle-shift you would do better butter-fingers.ROFL



Enjoy your Nissan* failure :lovl:
Enjoy your Fiat.



ps nice BS about the 6 figure investment, oh my tummy hurts from laughing so hard

* = taking the piss out of your Nissan ha ha ha ha

Your tummy? My rib-cage is killing me.:hihi: :hihi: :hihi: Nevermind, at least your stupidity with money is keeping the economy on the boil. Keep up the good work.

Ben, I think if we went on to a Ferrari forum and one of our first posts was:


The R8 is awesome but the F430 is simply average.

I think we know what we'd get.

Sorry for being successful enough to not drive a shite box Nissan:lovl:

I never said i was buying an F40, i said if i was spending around £200k on a car, it would be on an F40. An F40 is a pretty good investment at the moment. Generally prices have risen £40k in the past 18 months. But you knew that right :doh: :lovl:

Will never buy a Porsche because they do nothing for me, just like the R8, i certainly wont be taking advice from you on cars or i'll be driving around in a crap Nissan:lovl:

It's long been my belief that God's plan for me is that I should spend a little time with each of the most stupid people on this Earth. You are reinforcing it.

Your going on ignore now as i can't stop laughing at you and its really starting to hurt.

Awww, now you've hurt my feelings..... but actually you hate Gallardos too and 'would never drive a Porsche'. I feel better all of a sudden.

Just drive a slow Fiat with motorbike torque instead.

This is one of the few forums I do not have authorization to lock or delete (but believe me, I wish I did...).

Hopefully it will be closed soon...

Please, everyone stop posting here. Let's move on... If no fuel is added, the flames will die a natural death

Meet the actual elstimpo aka (too many to list). Note the half-mast trousers and boots that were of fashion in the mods and rockers era. Note also the Simon Cowell elevated waistline, which has never been in fashion. Moving now to the rolled up sleeves. Are these another poorly timed fashion statement, or just a cunning method of masking dribble stains? What class this individual exhibits. We should all take a bow in his presence.:noshake:

As an ex-HMG employee, 'elstimpo' made his money by selling a story to someone else who wrote a book for him - a bit like a David Beckham autobiography, but without the underlying footballing talent, which is hardly surprising given those exceptionally breakable sparrow legs. Also as an ex-HMG employee, you can't believe a word he says.:nana:

Elstimpo now trawls internet car forums to enlighten all car owners to the fact that their vehicle of choice is inferior, irrelevant of make and model. If it's an Audi forum, he wouldn't want an R8:noshake:, if it's a Porsche forum, he wouldn't drive a dull Porsche:noshake:, and yes, if this was a Ferrari forum you can be sure he'd be here telling us that the Scuderia was a pile of shite.:noshake: He thrives on response but unfortunately if you don't respond, he lingers like fish odour.
