Audi R8

Yeah, impressive, but what was the 30-50 time?
Does that car use a K24 or RS2 turbo?
Was the turbo "optimized" or not? :-)
I amuse myself,

While we're on the subject of Le Mans and Audi R8, the current
issue of Car & Driver has an article about it.  They tested the 2000
model (pre-FSI) which is owned by Champion Racing.  How about this:

0-60mph         3.3s
0-100mph        5.5s
0-160mph        13.0s
Standing 1/4 mi 10.3s @ 148mph
Top speed       205mph (engine rev limit @ 8050 rpm in 6th gear)
Braking 70-0mph 135ft

Wow.
