And who can spot the difference between a regular R8 and one with a V10? The visual clues on a ZR1 (exposed carbon fibre and polycarbonate hood window) are a tad more obvious than replacing flat black accents with glossy ones or oval shaped exhaust tips instead of round. There's more differences on each car, but I'm sure you get the point. Park a ZR1 next to a base coupe and more people could tell the difference (and that its something special) than if there were a pair of R8's sitting side by side.

From what I saw he wasn't losing control. Is it harder? Yes. But that makes for a more rewarding driving experience. Going around a corner with the tail hanging out requires a great deal of control and is quite different than losing it in the corner. Compare how the two did in their timed lap (on a wet course which heavily favours the less powerful AWD car) and the ZR1 was still faster.
