any of us if we had the oporunity to drive both cars after taken both for a spin im almost positive that the R8 would be ur choice as its much more controlled and easier to drive + it looks soo much sexier than the vette.

Just did some research, not sure if the 2009 had anything like this butt...

The main upgrade is a new traction control system that uses what Chevy calls Performance Traction Management (PTM). Essentially this works like a typical traction control system, limiting power delivery, except that it can do so right up to the maximum amount of grip available and without the driver having to modulate the throttle. Instead the PTM system handles that. When exiting a corner, the driver just needs to mash his right foot on the throttle and the car takes care of the rest.

Sounds easy enough. The GM engineers were listening to the feedback from across the pond (and everywhere else) apparently.
