I8 is quicker to 60 and that's where it ends. The F8x holds the advantage on all other test results including grip.

C&D tested the I8 @ 3.8 to 60mph, a tenth faster than the M4. This is from the same August issue. Yes, it's only one test from one source but proven nonetheless.

M3/4 will demolish an i8 in any performance category IMHO. The looks of the i8 have grown on me, but the powerplant is too anemic for my taste. If it had another 100hp then we would be talking. I think the new NSX will blow it away. Call me a dinosaur, but as cool as the new tech is on the i8, I much prefer high revving V8 and V10 engines as the sound and feel is the benchmark. Not to mention they are a dyeing breed. I for one will keep my R8 V10 with the gated 6-speed manual forever as cars like these will not even be available within the next 5 years.

Dudes, let's just once again look at the cars we are trying to compare against each other.
Just. let's sleep.

You could compare them performance wise. They both have similar torque figures, the M4 has more horsepower but the I8 is lighter.

Don't get me wrong, it's hard not to like the i8, but I like reality. in mine, that car would not survive. I'll add English to this when my mother stops this idiotic phone call. Still, the point is, that i8 is a pretty and in many ways appealing creature, but in real world it doesn't hold the promise.

Minne should be in a boat now, AND if I don't fuck up anything more, I should have one helluva month with it soon. How are you liking yours? I don't believe I've read review written by you yet, and I tend to read everything.

The car is wonderful and from the time I spent with it in Europe I couldn't find anything I didn't like about it. I'll have a review with pictures when it gets to Miami. I'll look forward to reading yours as well, make sure you include a coffee cup in there somehow haha

I'm pretty sure coffee is the word most used in that write up, some things usually are a given with me.
