Default Audi R8 pulled to 150mph by 2012 GT

Had some fun at 4am in the middle of no where against a base Audi R8 with my new stock 2012 5.0. Kept up dead even until about 125? Haven't even looked at it but Im assuming it would have been a little faster lol.. A little fun before a horrible winter

*edit lol

I got drug easy by the r8 I ran. Might have been the older one... New ones are pretty stout up top. Good kill.

The R8 is the 'supercar' and the S8 is the performance sedan...

Good run OP.

I'm surprised at the outcome. I've raced and R8 from a 40 roll (my sweet spot) and he pulled about a car length on me when we let out at around 130... and I've pulled every 5.0 I've ran.

His post (though edited) does say R8... which is the 'supercar' not the sedan.

Must have been the V8 R8. Still, I'd think he'd pull you a little but not too surpised it was close.

Wow nice run OP. I was always under the impression those R8s were in exotic performance territory (lambos, and ferraris?).

That is pretty awesome though.

Boss beat r8 v8 around laguna seca by a second or so, theres a v10 version that didn't get much better then the boss.
