the camaro zl1 is a faster race car than that hideous looking thing.
my friend is an audi fanboy..he still hasn't answered back why no audi makes that list?
he has been trying to tell me for weeks how much faster audis are than any other cars.

wonder if a gt500 will make that list this year?

If you really want to get under an Audi owner's skin, just tell them that they're driving tarted-up Volkswagens.

I considered an RS3 a few years ago as the I5 Turbo intrigued me, and then I had an encounter with one on a highway in my SS Sedan (Holden Commodore SS in other countries) and my interest dropped considerably (he couldn't keep up past 60 MPH). Then as recent as a few days ago what appeared to be an A8 started trying to accelerate when I tried to maneuver around him to keep me from passing. It also did not end well for him. I'd like to think that what it's lacking in performance it makes up for in luxury and features, but the RS3 I looked at didn't even have a power driver's seat. At this point I'd say that Audis are for people that want the European flavor, but want to set themselves apart from BMW/Merc. They're not a bad brand, but they just seem to be ok with "almost as good" these days.

The best analogy for an Audi is that it's the Buick as compared to the Chevrolet (Volkswagen). I've driven Audi and VW. To each his own, but there's no doubt that VW and Audi share much.

Even then a Huracan is still just a tarted up Audi R8 V10. And this is coming from someone trying to buy one in the next 5 years.
