Exotic V8Sports Car Comparison
Audi R8, Ferrari F430, Chevrolet Corvette, Aston Martin V8 Vantage compete for top honors
By MIKE MONTICELLO AND PHOTOS BY JEFF ALLEN[/align][align=center]
[:-][/align][align=center][/align][align=center][/align][align=center][/align][align=center]See All V-8 Exotics[/align][align=center][/align][align=center][/align][align=center][/align][align=center]While the title might not be as catchy as "Three V-10s to Yuma," we didn't go to Yuma, and we didn't drive V-10s. We went to Creston, and we drove V-8s. So where the heck is Creston, you're probably asking? It's a little cowboy town in California's Central Valley, and it happens to be near one of the most challenging, tight and twisty roads known to man. This slithery stretch of blacktop offers everything from blind turns over rises to bumps, jumps and the occasional sand-strewn apex. What better road, then, to take four of the very best sports cars in the world on.[/align][align=center][/align][align=center][:-](Click on below link to continue)[:-]EnJoy [/align][align=center][/align][align=center]http://autos.aol.com/article/power/v...06122509990001

[align=center]Hi `Member's[/align][align=center]I think the test of the exotic's was a Super Test by Road &Track.[/align][align=center][/align][align=center]For the $ Money $, I think GM's Chevrolet Corvette,[/align][align=center]is the best Investment for your Dollar.[/align][align=center][/align][align=center]Kudo's to GMPerformance Division.[/align][align=center][/align][align=center]In Today's World, they are keeping a Dream Car in Reach[/align][align=center]of Hard Working People, that DeSire a Performance[/align][align=center]Awesome Sports Car. Maybe it's not a ZR-1 SuperCharged Vette[/align][align=center]@ over $100K, but a base 08 Corvette is $45K.[/align][align=center]I hope you enjoyed reading about the above super v-8 Sports[/align][align=center]Cars, as much as I have. EnJoy your Dreams.[/align][align=center][/align][align=center]"Dreams are where we want to `go, & work is how we get there"[/align][align=center]`Space 08 [:-]

How much are you willing to give `up to get `one ?
Wish `U a `Happy Day

Keegan, I also think the Audi R8 is a super exotic, but
it's way beyond my budget, and I don't
think you will find a used R8for the price of a Vette
for many, many years from now.
Since my grandfather got his Vette, I've been checking prices, and
you can find 04/05 Corvettes in the low $30K range, &
the prices are drop'in : )
I hope someday to be able to buy my g/p's Vette : )
(I dream a lot : )
Now, `if we won the lotto : ) WoW.
I would pay a month's pay to be able to test drive
all the above exotic's : ) That would be `sweet, or
Automotive Exotic Heaven 4-$ure .
`ok, back 2 reality..I got 2 go wash cars 2day: )
Wish the reader of this a `Happy,
from `Space

I voted for the corvette because it just reeks of american muscle. Plus, a person that makes a decent living could afford one. I would take the R8 second though.
