The Audi is a very refined sports automobile. The Dodge Viper is a drivers sports car. Driver. Not computer. Viper is passion. Viper is knowing your personal capabilities. Viper means expanding on those abilities using a most capable sports car engineered for that purpose. I congratulate Dodge and, among many others, Herb Helbig for having the vision and courage to create the Dodge Viper. A true drivers sports car. www.viperclub.de and www.viperclub.ch I loved reading our good doctors input. Andrew This was a very fair comparison. The Audi is a very refined sports automobile.

Road and Track tested the ACR viper next to the 08 in the April issue . The ACR was the fasted around the track out of every other car tested there, (ZR1, Z06, 911, 911RS, Gallardo, Gallardo Superlegera, and 08 Viper). Not only was the ACR faster around the track, the second fastest was the 08 Viper. The 08 also beat everything else out there except the ACR The viper horsepower has the most quality of them all… Road and Track tested the ACR viper next to the 08 in the April issue .

That translates to qulity of power in the R8. Raw against refined ! I'll pick refined any day. On the track or the streets! Audi is all about qulity. That translates to qulity of power in the R8.

That's the impression that I get. I'm an amateur, and on the local track, I can pound out laps a second quicker than my pro driver friend when I'm piloting an '07 Z06 an he's in the aforementioned viper. But let's face it, the audi was destined to be slower. It's 200 horsepower short and it's made to be a comfy cruiser for dotors and lawyers. It was never mean to be a hairy chested racer.

Magically, the cars returned in one piece (well, two pieces, technically). Just to be safe, the boys had expert advice from some racing professionals and even ran a few practice rounds in Zerin's yellow TT. The results are, as always, entertaining and enlightening.
