ever seen/heard of? >>

No doubt the R8 would be the one, but I'm not sure what the times are. It
probably wouldn't be too far off a CART Champ car with traction control and
pit lane speed limit programming. At the Laguna Seca CART race we
(photographers) were cautioned by CART that with the new traction
control/pit lane speed limit controls the cars went from zero to pit lane
speed limit (~55mph if I recall) the distance of only two pit boxes (about 3
car lengths. That equals 0-60 in about a blink of an eye, or a little more
;-) The R8 had problems getting off the marks in pit lane after stops at one
time--now they launch just like a CART car (except with a bit more weight
and less HP). I assume an R8 counts as an "Audi"?
