This is a car I am considering as my garage queen, (but also debate a 981 GT4 or a 991.1 GTS or 718 GTS 4.0). You obviously enjoy real driver's cars (the 458 and GT3 manual have to be 2 of the top) and so curious about your perspective on the R8 v10 6mt. I am drawn to the instant torque and amazing throttle response and sound of the v10, but having owned 2 981 Cayman s' I also know that there is an engagement with the porsche driving experience that is rare to achieve.

what formula said... the R8 is more of a street friendly car. the steering is not as direct and the car is set more for understeer. Both the 458 and R8 are comfier than the GT3 by far.
I've only driven a v10 convertible 1st gen with the e-gear trans though. My cousin has a v10 6mt coupe and loves it though.
just depends on how hardcore you want your street car to be. The gt3 is about the sweet spot for me.
if you can i'd try test driving a viper, r8 v10, and gallardo. dreamracing in vegas has the 1st gen r8 10 and gallado available to test drive on track.
