SLS is such a great car, but take a look at that Lambo it's a different animal. Did you guys see what it did to the Ferrari 458.

Heh how about an answer, has that R8 got the Lambo engine.
Also my friends all agree that the R8 makes far too much noise.

I drove the SLS at Road Atlanta a few weeks ago. It seems to do everything well, that is: acceleration, cornering and braking. The damn thing will stop on a dime. The acceleration seemed more impressive on a roll.

By the way, the exhaust note is sweet and the rev match down shift is a pure symphony of V8 muscle.
