new audi spotted
Some time after the wed. night meet. a hand full of us decided to go cruising on some twisty turns. on our way back one of our crew's cars had an exhaust problem so we pulled over to help him repair it. as we are working on the car, an unusual vehicle drove by followed closely by an SUV. judging from the distinctive tail lights we all at once shouted Audi Le Mans! yes. somewhere in the tampa bay area there is a test mule for the new 911 beater!

just go sit outside the warehouse....you'll get to see several of them coming and going, I'm sure. Audi/VW has used the same warehouse since the late 80's.

The Audi R8 has already been released to the public, and they are probably just doing last minute work.

The best engine in the world is the vagina, it takes any size piston, its self lubricating, starts with 1 finger, and every 4 weeks does its own oil change. It's just a pity the management system is so fucking temperamental.

The Audi R8 is going to run at about 100k. Its basiclly a lambo with less cylinders. It has the same engine as the RS4 with a few extra things and its a mid engine. The car is pretty nice and damn would I love one. But for a 100k I would buy the RS4 and mod it.
This is the RS4
This is the R8
Yea it is the 911 killer. Audi wants to make another one thats smaller. They were going to make a R6 but they scrapped that for now and are going with a R4. Its suposed to be faster then a Cayman but not as fast as a 911.
With Porsche owning most of the shares of VW/Audi it might not happen. Porsche isint happy with other cars with in the company starting to out run them.

They are all 911 killers - I guess it's good to aspire to something. now lets see if they have staying power -
