2. The V10. I for one, have fallen in love with every noise a V10 makes.

3. It's mid engined, which will make the steering more evenly weighted and should make the car feel more nimble.

4. It's AWD. You can drive it in the rain.

5. It's an Audi R8 and it's nice as shit. Have you ever sat in one of those things? Everything that isn't leather is suede (including the roof), and I for one happen to love their interiors.

That said, if I was big into racing (I'd like to be, but I haven't gotten into that much) or if I was a world class driver like some of the members here, I'd op for the ZR1.
They're not really close. I don't know what the UK prices are like but the US price has the R8 5.2 at an extra 40 grand before any options. The V8 on the other hand is about the same as a ZR1.
