If you want a opinion on both, you need someone who has had both.
Otherwise their opinions are one sided.

its not a R8
whats the differance between a R8 and a clubsport?

If it is, as you wrote mike, a '08 VE it has to be a Clubsport R8.
There is no Clubsport in the VE range, they are all known as Clubsport R8.
go on I've taken the bait...

You should just toss a coin! I brought a 08 ve ss and just love it! Is a 6 speed auto with tiptronic so best of both worlds. ;D

If your're spending that sort of cash at least take the new FPV F6 out for a spin. You'd be close to a near new or demo car.

Craig who is this mike? my name is John Wilson thanks for your information, I do not know much about these cars thats why i have asked for information you recently asked about a rumour re a race car that was offered to a club to be raffled off & the club turned it down. This info was not known by anyone except the club it was offered to & the offerer (mike) himself (mike's a top race car driver & very good popular engineer, everyone talks about him) I thought it odd you knew about it, thats all. |

I had heard through my wife who works for the cancer society
she was told by someone in chch about this offer?
I dont know this mike and i to be honest think that a club that turns down an offer to help out such a deserving cause as the cancer society stinks.
Do you have anymore information on this?
