Audi R8 VS Ferrari F430

Today I saw a Audi R8 race with a Ferrari F430. Though it just have few seconds, it is Amazing. Especially the engine sound, so great. It seems that the acceleration of the R8 is faster than F430.
Two monsters, two GTs, two of the most famous cars in the world. One German, one Italian. They are both two-seater coupes with a rear-centre mounted V8 engine. The F430 it is powered by a V8 engine delivering 490 hp while the R8 delivers 420 hp. The R8 has a top speed of 187 mph. The F430 has a top speed of 196 mph. The F430 makes 0 to 100km/h in 4 seconds, covering 1000m from a standing start in 21.6 seconds. The R8 takes an extra six tenths of a second to reach the 100km/h mark. Each has its own character, its own beauty. Again, they are hard to compare.

But I really saw the acceleration of R8 is better than F430, matbe it is related to the driver's operation skills.
