I literally smoked an r8 with exhaust. My car only had AA pulleys and eisenmann race exhaust.

I don't see what your point is. My old Evo would eat a JB tuned 335i for breakfast... Of course if you modify cars it's a different comparison. This thread is about stock cars.

personally wouldn't spend the money on the V8 R8. The engine just doesn't match the looks. Now the V10, that's a diff story

I came from a 335 to a R8 V8 and now to a V10 Spyder. I'm sure that the M3 can keep a pretty close pace to the V10. It would keep pretty close to a lot of supercars. Though there's so much more to life than racing in a straight line. A properly tuned civic could beat anything.

That being said, yes the R8 will get you laid faster! It's a very big attention getter on the street. Pointing, smiling, honking, all kinds of attention every day you drive it. It's a joy on twisty roads, and the engine noise is wonderful.

And it has a normal warranty so you can actually drive the thing! All in all it's a great car, but let's not get started on the trunk space!

The M3 is an amazing vehicle as well. I love BMW's. They have great interiors, and are so nicely designed throughout.

Both are great cars.

If anyone is having a meet soon in LA, let me know!! I'll bring the R8 out.

What cars DONT smoke an R8?

But looks wise...r8 all the way. Pictures and videos just dont seem to do this car justice...plus its VERY wide if you look at it from the back. My problem with it looks wise is that its somewhat reminiscent of the tt roadster, of which i dont think it should be.
