What is the exact difference between a Clubsport and an R8?

[HSVluva]

I am about to buy a Clubsport and my price range allows me to get either a VX series 2 R8 or a VY Series Clubsport (can't afford the VY R8). Can anyone tell me the difference? I love the look of the VY, and if there is only small differences like the seats and sound gear, I will be changing that neways. Is there a major reason why i should buy a R8? Also have heard the VY is a much better car. Unsure if that is true.

I personally like the look of the VX HSVs better.

I know the R8 has HSV Performance Brake spec (Bigger brakes)

I know there are other extras on the R8. Just can't think of them. Check out the HSV site, click on 'CARS' and go to 'PREVIOUS HSV MODELS'. That will give you the full spec list and that.

i had a vx r8 and now have a hdt vz clubsport. so listen. the vx r8 was the last r8 that didn't get the upgraded brakes, so dont expect the four spot caliper unless it was optioned. the vx r8 seats are the best around. and if you like leather and the car your looking at has leather you really want this car.
as your looking at a series 1 vy the power only jumped to 260 from 255 (vy1 vs vx2) so this really doesnt count.
the vx r8 gets better suspention, better seats that you'd be a fool to change. better mags. there are quite a few things, mind has gone blank hope this helped

A hdt clubsport? Does it have a hdt compliance plate or is that a typo?

Mr Expert ay...

VX R8 has Bigger brakes than normal clubsport, heavier rear spoiler, coulsen seats, climate control and optional dual zone. Oh and $5k ontop of clubsport.

If you wait a few more weeks, you could afford a VY R8
