Except that your results are all one offs. We all know that the C6 cant compete against the R8 around 98% of racetracks. The R8 has been beating the 911 time and time again, and we all know that the C6 cannot compete with similiar powered 911's.
Ohh. Touched a nerve there, I see.

Say no more. I completely understand... it was a FLUKE
I love how you mention price also, I could build a car in my shed that could spank each of those cars on that list. Put things into perspective price wise
You yourself asked if the R8 and M3 were competitors. I made of short list of qualities that any person could compare for themselves and see plain as day they aren't. Price is one. But so is size, chassis configuration, number of seats, etc.
But you already knew that before you posted. You know they aren't. So why the post? There is only one answer.
And btw, build a car in your shed that spanks an R8 or M3 or C6 on the track, has a full leather interior, starts and runs everyday, rides well, is comfortable, offers the same level of safety, entertainment and luxury equipment, has a full factory warranty and will run past 100,000 miles without breaking a sweat,
without costing a penny more and then you
might be in the position to teach me about perspective.
How does the results that I posted suit me?
Simple. If an Audi is slower, there's always an excuse with you. "It's a fluke" or "your results are one offs".
You have no interest in understanding why. You just discard the result because it doesn't please you. You'll notice that I made zero attempts at discrediting the M3 vs. R8 test you posted (but don't provide a link to) That's because I don't have a problem with the M3 being slower than the R8; it should be slower. But when I show an Audi losing to something else, you have nothing but excuses.
It also never occurred to you to say "what does the 335i and RS4 have to do with this? I was talking about the M3 and R8." That's because the only thing that's important to you is to be able to say Audi is faster, not to put a discussion into proper context. Context is not something you're interested in; only cheerleading.
I think it also speaks volumes that the first thing you replied to was the C6 beating the R8 around VIR, even though it was an obvious non-sequitur and not at all central to the discussion.
everyone knew anyway that the R8 is faster than the M3. Infact it is you who is posting results that suit you. Its liek you were offended to find out that even with racing tires the M3 cannot beat a audi R8.
The M3 is now a bloated, heavy GT car that will turn lackluster lap times compared with pure sports cars and hasn't been a focused track car since 1991. A 997S or C6 should beat one around most tracks. Its a good road car and probably does a decent job at reminding you of a real sports car, but stops far short of going all the way. It's primary saving graces is that it's good at what it does, and is slightly
less bloated and heavy compared with its primary competitors, which approach comedy status with their girth.
I know that you really want to believe this somehow bothers me. Sorry to disappoint you

What I dislike is someone trolling a thread thinking we're too stupid to see the obvious.
Now. Back to the topic. BMW M3 sedan. Why are we comparing it to the R8? Is it because if we compare it to the RS4 (like everyone does), you won't have a easy way to declare Audi superior? Fess up.
