2015 GT vs Audi R8 V8

[S550bluegt]

Hey guys, I had the chance a few months ago to line it up on a roll with an Audi R8 with the 4.2l V8, I was expecting to be beat badly but to my surprise I pulled away from him steady. We lined them up 3 times and I won it every time. The guy seemed pretty pissed when I told him my GT was bone stock.

Looked up the stats on the 4.2l audi r8 and it makes sense if you look at their hp/tq and weight compared to the 2015 mustang GT.

I was happy my mustang beat a car with double the sticker price. Best bang for buck out there. Love my mustang!

Find an S8 that has a V10 in it and try again. Of course, now we're talking about a $115,000 to compare to.

But seriously, nice win! Bang-for-the-buck factor cannot be marginalized.

From a roll we actually should be good on it even past 130. Yeah, the R8 V8's are definitely not as impressive as they were back in 2007.

Just don't pull up to a RS7. It would be embarrassing.

That's funny you post this. I have an ecoboost mustang and just bought an Audi R8 V10. It is just a different class of cars. The refinement in my Audi is worth the price tag.

Can't wait to get mine.

I'm sure the v10 would definitely walk the mustang but still is pretty impressive for a stock mustang these days. Yeah from a dig the awd would have the jump for sure. The v10 r8 I'd never say was a bad buy, but the v8 model just doesn't seem suited to that car. If you're buying an r8, just get the v10 lol.

They ditched the v8 in the new gen r8. Only comes in a v10 model

Excellent job man. Stay focused on growth. Always be moving forward and accelling whether it be economically or with cars. Never stop trying to improve yourself. I was given that piece of advice and I haven't ever looked back.

Trust me, my parents came to this country on a boat that ambition lives deep inside me to always do better.

Once you get your next 3 cars on deposit, do you plan on selling any of your current cars?

You might as well add 2 more cars and have one for everyday of the week
