a bunch of friends and I went to the dragstrip tonite. we watched a bunch of cars take runs, nice muscle cars, then decided to walk around and check out some of the cars. we happen to see a brand new Audi sitting by itself near the beginning of the line, just off to the side, so we went to check it out. looked sorta like a normal A6, but I saw the wheels... the got closer and saw the carbon fiber engine cover with 'V8 Biturbo' on it... [img]images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img] jaw dropped. went around back to see the badge just to reassure myself. so amazingly beautiful.
after a bit of standing around it some guy sarcasticly asked us if he could keep it clean for at least one day (the owner). my guess is that it was BRAND new, as in that day. he said he had already run it once, a 13.2. [img]images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img] he went and ran it again, 13.1 so damn smoothly. I'm guessing that's all stock too, with a different turbo setup... wow. I'm outta words, holy shit.
the only one of us with a camera was being stubborn and didn't bring it [img]images/smiles/icon_sad.gif[/img] I damn well wish he wasn't being an ass. that and I could have gotten a video of the completely primered/kitted/winged out Civic Hatch that ran a 16.5.

M5 with sitck here, please. What's my discount? [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] Group Buy? [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
Although a stock RS6 would give the base 911 a run for it's money. [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] I think the M5 would be a bit more fun to drive.

I love the vw/audi don't get me wrong, but I really don't think the Euro-Spec M5 needs to be modded in the first place. [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]

They only have auto RS6's period. Neither VW nor Audi has a 6spd that'll handle the 450hp. Why they just don't steal one from Lamborginni (sp [img]images/smiles/icon_confused.gif[/img] ) is beyond me.
bimmers are a bitch to mod tho. I would definately go with the RS6. Actually, Id go with a s4, and then find a head from the rs6 to swap into it with the turbo system. then you could have a 450HP s-4 [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
