Interesting news about the R8. For the bloody price it better outperform the M3. All test between the two in terms of raw numbers show them extremely close. Same as the 997S and M3. These are all so close it is simply a drivers race. My comments about M-DCT still hold. Margins or gaps between these three will clearly be narrowed by M-DCT.
