American Muscle vs German Engineering

Before I even start I have to say that I love the Audi R8. It's a sexy beast and goes like the clappers. That said, the Corvette LS3 is also a hot number with it's raw grunt but is starting to look a little dated. Of course the R8 is easily twice the price of the Corvette.

Anyway, what I like is irrelevant in this video from WebRides.tv where they take these two mean machines for a spin on their "Super Lap" course. Looking at the numbers the lighter, more powerful Corvette should be the obvious winner but then again, the R8 does have all wheel drive.

Also, don't worry about the progress bar on the video either as it's totally out of whack, the video finishes before it even gets half way. :)
