Ok, thought I should throw another opinion in.
As none of you will be surprised by, I would take the r8, and here is why.
First of all, exterior looks wise, as somebody noted, I don't want my care to be mistaken for a regular corvette. Sure, the r8 5.2 looks like the r8 4.2, but that's still a 100k+ car, not a 45k car.
Second of all, interior wise, there is no competition. The r8 is better hands down.
Performance wise, the r8 is awd, easier to drive, and while it is a little slower, it handles better.
The zr1 wins in straight line racing. Yet, as people have noted time and time again, if my sole purpose was straight line, there are cheaper and faster ways to get a 12 second car (with modding of course).
I think the two appeal to two different crowds. The zr1 appeals to the muscle car enthusiasts, the audi appeals to the european/exotic crowd.
