I'm more of a mid-engine guy... F430, NSX, MR2
(already have two of these cars).

Coming out of a more balanced mid-engine car (remember, Clarkson
has a Ford GT), it's relatively easy to get the Porsche out of shape!

If you watch the Fifth Gear review of the C4 against the R8 they find the same thing, the R8 appears more ballanced and better at quick turns than the C4.

But a-la reading rainbow, dont take my word for it.

The GT3 is an awsome car and it should have won, that was my point. By putting the Stig in the GT3 Top Gear made it easier for the Stig. Sabine put up a great fight, but it was no match for the Porsche. I just personally feel that Sabine is probably a better driver than the Stig... Not by much, but she definetly worked that R8 to get it infront of the GT3.
