Default ..wait till you see the results in EVO... tracks faster than F430 and Gallardo

..and yet the R8 is the slowest of them all to 100.. and doesn't seem to brake any better than them. But it is the fastest on the track!

They used the Bedford Autodrome.. the west circuit. Richard Meaden was the driver.

Default Hockenheim this time... in the corners its as fast as the Gallardo SL, and faster than the 997 Turbo

..in almost all corners (Turbo with Michelin Cup's!).

In the straight sections, the Gallardo SL and 997 Turbo were faster. This is similar to what they found when testing for EVO.

Default ..what I meant is brake better in a very significant manner as to explain beating the F430/Gallardo

'Guilty', are you still talking about the comparison to the 911? You need to move on and look at the R8 compared to the F430/Gallardo...I don't see the point of everyone getting hung up on always comparing against the 911.
