Just make sure you use a PTG. It might be thin in some areas.

That's like asking if it's necessary to get the flu. It's not like it was his intention to crash the Porsche.

Re: Top Gear: Audi R8 vs Porsche 997 GT3

I'd bet if equal drivers, that R8 would toast that GT3, it took it on nearly every corner. AWD really helps around a track.

BTW, I have a friend at a local Audi dealer I went to see the other day and I got to get up close and friendly with 3 R8's, a white, silver and black. Boy do they sound good too...
