Defiantly the clubsport. A much sexier car... and the manuals in those are top of the class. Might be older, but lesser km's and a sunroof. I'd def go the clubbie

I know but It is ls2 that has crapy heads and intake manifold and l76/l98 has l92/ls3 heads and intake manifold that is much better

It doesn't take much for a R8 to turn plenty of heads, SS's are like assholes, everyone's got one... Plus manual, you can have lots more fun with a manual.

Oh and an R8 will hold its value more.

If you already have the 2010 SS, keep it. Save and buy a newer clubsport. IMO you'll be downgrading. Km's aren't everything, time takes its toll on components as well.

I'd keep your SS for a little longer and wait for the price of the late 2008+ HSVs to drop.

That way, you'll get the LS3

What unit said. Wait for a bit and then LS3 ftw!

Just make sure you stay away from the E2 and E3's... otherwise people will vomit on it as your drive by.
