r8 has more appeal, can get the girls, and still is fast. just not a sooped up rice tuner like the gt-r although i love the gt-r. u guys make fun of the r8 so much somebody has to defend it. even the gt-r owners aren't as dumb as some of you making these comments. they know what to respect regardless. in the end of the day it's just a nissan. the lf-a will still be a better car inside and out. its already proven with its better looks. its not always about speed but grace the lf-a has more than a nissan. people want quality sometimes and nissan hasnt had a good past of building quality cars. the 350z is crap. the 300zx is even better than the 350z. so what the heck is that? a reverse?

^^^^^If you need a car to get girls then you're pathetic. End of discussion. By the way, the GT-R has a long following that the R8 will never ever match.

its obvious that there are STILL lamers who think that cars getting girls is a good thing. they are jackasses and the girls that sucker them are nothing but skanks. there should be a virus that targets and kills stupid people like lexstupidass.

I don't think I paid too much. I paid good money for a well built quality product. No matter what you fan boys say I stand behind my purchase I don't care. Don't hate.

the nissan is overpriced. for that premium on a nissan i want a screaming engine and a design that will make others envy. it sounds like crap compared to a v10 lf-a and a v10 nsx. but as a car its good. as a collectors item and something to brag to friends, the mass will still view it was an expensive nissan. nothing will change peoples perception. everybody knew about the skyline before and some still think its just a datsun still.

OMG, that is too tragic to look at. Driver of the R8 must have been hypnotized by the GT-R, can't blame him, but still a tragedy!!

Hypnotized? probably not. Not with those looks. It's always the person driving the car that's at fault not the machine. You know that's how it goes down in the real world?. Have you seen the first crash of the GT-R?

these two are probably both the same car.

this is the second car known to have a ding on it.

What's your excuses for these ones? someone hit the GT-R? please. Save it.

I guess the GT-R is a touchy topic for some.

No matter what you folks say about the R8 no one had problems with it before what difference would it make now? Deboosting me because I'm defending a car I bought with my hard earned money. I've given the GT-R the respect it needs ever since the introduction of this car so I don't think I need to be head over heels over a GT-R or worship it like some of you do. Heck I don't even worship my R8. It's a machine and it does the job very well. Overpriced? depends what your standards are. I don't want to come off as arrogant but I've had countless Ferrari and Lamborghini owners locally give me props for my car and yes some Nissan drivers as well. That's the level of respect that can be given in the real world and not behind some computer screen.

gt-r doesnt need anyones respect. when the r8 or anything else competing with the gt-r can lap the 'ring' in 7.29.03 then you can talk. until then the r8 is for poseurs.

@ audirev,

Same reason why MichaelTaylor is still allowed to post: this agent isn't responsible for policing the site. I've given up on asking for some members to be removed and prefer to focus on insulting them -- it allows me to blow off some steam.

It looks like SuperGT is a bigger troll than MT could ever be. At least MT gives a reason. This dipsh*t SuperGT is just looking to pick a fight by flaming. Maybe we should call him "Todd" after the fat game designer on "Code Monkeys" that has sex with his dolls.

Of course if he's a mechaphiliac, an Audi R8 stood him up on a date and is just lashing out.

SuperGT has been warned and will be removed if he doesn't tone down his attacks.

Speaking of MT, where has he been the past couple of days, I haven't seen any comments from him.

Why can't people talk positive about a car without dissing some other car?

GT-R's awesomeness doesn't erase the fact that the R8 is sexy as hell.

I'm not dissing the GT-R. I'm just defending the car I purchased. I've given the Nissan credit time and time again and you guys put down the R8 like it's nothing. It costs another Nissan more but I don't even care about the pricing. I just think you should sit inside a cockpit of an R8 and drive it around for a week then judge. It'd be unfair to call me a badgewhore because I can afford one.

Your cult calls everyone names and talk down to an R8 but the fact of the matter is we own R8's and have experienced and you probably haven't. With that said, I'm almost sure none of us here has driven a GT-R and the fan boys are talking crap about the Audi because some of them envy.

Now for christ sake grow up. Some of you get too ahead of yourselves. I like both cars its just I happen to have the Audi. Cool? ok done.

It's like they don't realize that the Audi costs twice as much. The GT-R is faster. So what? If I wanted one, I would buy one.

Maybe I'll buy one and crash it into another one and post pictures here so that all the fanboys lose sleep and say how sad it is. LOL.

Well if the dick in the Audi had known he was going to go bumper to bumper with a GTR, he should have bought parking sensors. Or buy a Merc with that cruise control thing that slows you down. My theory is that he was too tight to afford the Top-gear magazine.

Regardless of who likes this car or not: I feel bad for the vehicles involved. If it isn't totaled out, it would make a perfect candidate for a project vehicle. I like both the R8 and the GT-R, and would love to be able to afford either.

lool, this means that the GT-R stopped WAY before the R8, and the R8 brakes decided to use the bumper as another stopping mechanism.
