So the Audi R8 is faster than a Ferrari F430?

[ferrari550]

Every stat shows that the F430 is faster than a R8 in acceleration, and i would imagine the F430 is faster around a track. Like i said earlier, The R8 is on pace with the porsche 911 C4S, i would hope a F430 would be faster than a 355hp porsche. If Kimi Raikkonen cannot keep to the R8 in a F430 then it must be a hell of a car and webber must be a hell of a driver. I think webber is not quite telling the whole truth about this.

Not trying to take anything away from the R8, i actually saw one for the 1st time last night and it looked stunning!!

I agree, there is something more to this story that was either conveniently or mistakenly left out.

May be he was refering to the fact that driving fast on the R8 is easier in the F430... and that's why Raikkonen almost went out at Paul Ricard trying to keep up with the Ferrari. That, or that the finn was drunk 8)

Kimi drunk, never! :shock:
