Funny how it's not even an Audi anymore. Look at all that sheet metal and stuff they had to tack onto it, and who knows what the suspension is out of, all things they had to do to severely modify the car because it couldn't perform the way it was built from the factory.

That's like calling a tube chassis, carbon body, nitro burning, 6 second funny car a "Mustang" because it has a Ford logo and a horse painted on the fake body.

The GT-R is a bone stock off the showroom floor with interior, AC, stereo, etc. Ok maybe they changed the tires *wank wank*

Lolz

Why are you fapping?

Its obviously a race car, but if it was built to compete with the GT-R, a production street car, that's pretty funny.

perhaps they were just using it as a metric? i can't imagine that anyone would claim a full-blown race car to be as streetable as a production street car. i mean the closest you can get to street-legal and still be a race car is the Viper ACR, more or less.

It was more like a preemptive eyeroll and jerk off motion to anybody who tries to claim the GT-R is also modded like that Audi because it has non stock tires, a reference to people discrediting GT-R times because of different tires.

Like it's a bone stock GT-R, no wait those aren't factory tires, woopty phuckn doo wank wank.

Its more a testament to the GT-R that Audi had to build a full blown race car to compete ;)

I see your HSV GT-500 and raise you a BMW M3 E92 GTR

As much I like the M3 GT-R to win, I think the HSV may take this cake (that and if the crew at ALMS quit crashing the damn thing).

And guys, I think Audi built this thing to compete with the GT-R quoted here. It's in the same class ;)
