The Audi RS4 is also AWD and around 440hp and it sell as a base model for $66k.
The R32 was the 1st car to do under 8min at the Nurburgring and now this one does it in 7:30's. Not even the 911's can do that and I don't see a Z06 doing that. Don't get me wrong I like the new C6 Z06 but I think the GTR can and will out do the vette. Would I buy it? No, I rather have an Evo or STI for cheaper or If I had the money I would get the RS4. But I beleive it will do well. Mainly cause of the hype of it being a Skyline you can buy in the states.
Umm Z06 and alot of other production cars are right there under 8 mins (7:40), I dont see a R32 and I didnt see the new proto on there either, maybe it actually has to be approved production before it makes the list.
