I guess it depends on the OP budget. They both are about 130K for a 2011. A few more grand and the 997.2 TT-S is maxed out but doing 135@9.7 (until a bigger turbo is put on it). The R8-V10 needs tens of thousands more to become reliably FI to surpass that.

The TT-S comes with carbon ceramics, the R8 comes with more bling. The TT-S comes with 2 child seats in the back, the R8 is strictly 2 seater. I actually use the back seats for my kids and I wanted LESS bling so for me, it was a no-brainer.

Why not a McLaren MP4-12C? That's ANOTHER 100 hp on top of the Turbo S and with 400 less pounds! You can get a gently used one for under 200 these days. That's a phenomenal car for a roll-on airport type race. Plus, those cars trap mid 130s stock!!! (so you keep the factory warrantee). What other cars trap mid 130s stock for under 200K?
