 been a screamer, and what a car it was. Too bad. They should still do it
 though. What an image leader. It'd make the Viper look like yesterday's
 news. How about a private contractor to build the chassis, use S8
 mechanicals and S8 17" Avus rims. Okay I'll wake up now. >>


Reality check.  Even when Audi toyed with the idea of building the AVUS, it
was with a $1,000,000 price tag.  Pretty small market.
