I defined "around the town" car as having "some" practical abilities. At least with the 911 you have the option.

I knew this as I wrote it BUT like your track example, in day to day experience the driver wouldn't be able to tell the difference. I drove a Carrera 4S for a week last winter, in terrible Canadian winter conditions -- it was great.

Its all personal preference I guess.
Also, I would like to ask Kain, have you driven both cars? (on a track) to get a feel for them?
My guess is the average person, if they had to pick one car for their garage, and drove the two they would mostly pick the 911. The R8 just not as fast or as talented as the Porsche and it will force you to become a better driver.
