I think you confused yourself with a moderator.

On topic: Will it have a 7 speed SMG or is BMW going to launch a dual clutch tranny?

Well perhaps that was overgeneralized, there are of course large changes, but it is accurate. The CSL can't be a parts bin car because CSL bits can not be found on any other BMW model.

What I have tried to show you is that actual owners, most of them, seem to have the commitment to drive the car every day. I am sure the same people that would be willing to drive an R8 every day...

I'm not sure if you got the sarcasm.

You know what, I have a headache. And I still have to stop by BMW later to pick up my check for all the BMW's I sold on the Audi boards today. MUAHAHAHA!

Of course motortrend isn't gospel but the point was to illustrate the car isn't exactly a track day special and that it is completely realistic to expect to drive it every day and so is a viable R8...

I don't see how they are anywhere near SL territory. There is nothing in common here with the SL.

This is from the review http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/coupes/112_0705_2007_porsche_911_gt3/index.html:

Whoa whoa whoa, when exactly did this GT3 drive take place? In between your posts of having to check one out since the other day and this one?

Dances all over the road? Are you sure it was a GT3?...

We went over the pricing. 108k for a 6 speed R8, 106k for a 997 GT3, base to base. R-tronic 118k vs. turbo 122k, in the US. So maybe they priced themselves too high in the US? Just because Audi...

The laws of physics would say that in the wet you would not want most of your weight in the front.

The CSL was built on the E46 chasis, which is a sedan chasis. The 3 series coupe still has 4 seats, and yes 2 doors.

He isn't saying a car is more luxurious because it has more doors. He is...

How exactly is BMW supposed to beat their M3 when their new M3 hasn't hit the streets yet? You better believe the new M3 is going to be even more impressive than the CSL. And if there is another CSL,...

Nothing really comes close to the interior of a Rolls, trust me ;)

The R8 is based on a the gallardo chasis. I don't see any performance compromises, other than AWD (take it how you will, some...

Nice post ;)

I was trying to figure out the luxury and smoothness as well.

It should kill it as a mid engine, but it won't. It will be interesting to see if BMW goes forward with the rumored Z10 mid engine car based around the M5 v10 and then we can have more of a direct...

Do you only read my posts?

What the f*ck are you on?

Who has recorded a 14.3 0-200? Audi themselves claimed a 14.9 and r8's haven't hit either figure. Once we start seeing some broken in cars I think 14.9 will probably be achieved but car and driver...

Basing a comment on a pervious model is not the way to go. Don't you think you should know for sure before making a comment like that the GT3 can not be a daily driver? Check out a 997 GT3, read...

You have your view, I have mine.

Mercedes and BMW are clearly favored more in the world's largest auto market, the US. That does not mean Audi does not build a good car, the RS4 will more than...

Did you miss this:

Well see it depends how you look at it. The RS4 has AWD unlike the other two and is probably the closest rival to the M3 from a perspective of drivers interaction.

There have been a couple tests...

I take it you do not know much about the current generation 997 GT3. Go on porsche's website, look it up, and look into PASM and then get back to me. Or read this thread on rennlist where many guys...

This statement is complete and utter BS. I want to make that very clear.

There are many different dynos in the world and all dynos are used by major tuners to create a baseline and then record the...
