In straight comparison the S8 comes out ahead. It is underpowered for its weight. For general DD especially up north with snow the AWD is great to have.
I will say that all black B7 shown here is very nice. The B7 has very good torque.

Bottomline...S8

By that logic an 8 cyl is better than a 6. You have a 6 cylinder in your porsche so a regualar corvette is better than a 997TT? I dont get it.

There is no point discussing this over with you. It's not my responsibility to teach. I'll let you go figure that one out yourself.

I know you said it was fugly but at the end you said the take a V8's can not compare to V10's. My comparision I made was inaccurate because I compared a 6 syl to an 8 when you compared a V10 to a V8. With the logic in your last sentense a Corvette with a V8 cant compare with a the V10 in Viper. This is the better way of describing your logic in the last sentence because you said there is no comparison in a V8 to a V10. I am just pointing out this this is far from the case with all cars. Not trying to **** you off. I was really just making a joke with your logic.

I was purely referring to the B7's Supercharged V8 against the Normally Aspirated direct injection V10 of the S8. Much more technology has gone in to develop a high compression V10 than just slapping a charger on a 10 years old V8. No offense whatsoever intended. And just to point out another thing, the S8 has full aluminum body and chassis where as the B7 is steel. So for about the same price a S8 would be the wise choice for value, usability and beauty, maybe even speed but I haven't lined up with a B7 to confirm such an acquisition.

Go with the S8.

The S8 is so sexy compared to the B7. Also, the V10 would be preferable to SCV8 in my opinion. Good luck.
