The Audi R8 MSRP in the US is: 109K for a manual... 118K for "tip"
The Porsche GT3 MSRP in the US is: 107,5K

So.. Lets assume similar amounts of dealer mark-up mean that yes, these cars are the same price.

Still want an Audi?

I am not saying the R8 is a bad car.. but it is HEAVY.. some 300lbs heavier than the GT3. That makes quite a difference at the track.

Yes, the 911 "may be harder" to drive.. but to many, like myself, it just makes the driving more rewarding.
