It was a joke, since everyone was acting like they didn't understand sarcasm. So I acted like I didn't realized he didn't understand sarcasm...I guess if you have to explain it...nevermind.

I dont think its gonna happen. They're not going to be able to beat the ZR1 with a slight upgrade to the Gallardo. They are going to have to drop the 12Cylinder TDI into the R8 to beat the GTR and ZR1, unless they plan on gutting the car (which they wont).

Personally I dont think the TDI mill would get the job done.

Now the RS6's twin turbo V-10 on the other hand. They might have something there.

this shit is getting stupid.

so the v-spec can supposedly go around the ring 1 second faster than the ZR1.

i'm guessing the R8 with v10 or R10 or what the hell have you will run 1 second faster than the v-spec's claimed time and all the audi fanboys will circle jerk together and drive their R-whatever on the road like they're walking around with their fly open and their junk hanging out.

meh.

It's not about that at all. It's about engineers trying to be competitive and outdo the other manufacturers'. Simple as that!
