all depends on the model and year. Anything before 2010 I think they only run like mid 12's stock. The 2010 top model runs 11.70's.
It would be extremely close with the 2010 model depending on drivers. But you also have to understand reliability wise. My car is far less reliable in terms of consistency . They are also a way nicer car so it doesnt have to race me to win. The reason why I said only in the 1/4 is because they only have like high 300's torque. Anything after 1/4 id be smoked. |

Im not even sure what version or year he has though. Im guessing its the top one. You have an Audi so im sure you know a little more about them, did they ever made the V12 for it?

I'm sure he'd be devastated to lose to a neon in the 1/4 mile....
oh wait, no he wouldn't.....he'd still be in an R8 and you'd still be in a neon.

IF they make a V12 it will be a TDI and will have 750+ trq and 400+ horse. As for Bams R8; He stopped in a few weeks ago because his AC wasnt working. Didnt have time for US to check it out, but the car was a mess. Looked like someone slept in it, with a missing shiftknob for the Rtronic. Lol
Super Nice as always though |

Rista and I met him in New Hope when his GF (Tammy) grabbed my girls ass after we got off the bike... The next thing I knew I wound up drinking with him and his friends at john and pieters for an hour or so... He was an ok dude and he made a good single serving friend... Funny how many girls his gf makes out with too haha |

Just like the R8 facts that I found, I am going off the same with my car and other people who run with a 60-1 setup and the same mods. Only difference is their boost is at 25 and mine is at a safe 22. I dont run at the track because I dont have slicks. The first time I went to the track was to englishtown with some friends from another forum and they wouldnt let me run without purchasing a fire jacket so I pretty much said F that. I am also selling the car. |

It's not that it's just that V8 R8's really aren't that fast.
They are great cars don't get me wrong, my buddy has one and it's a fantastic daily driver/exotic but the speed isn't there. And yeah now they have a v10 version but I'd have a hard time justifying spending $150,000+ on the v10 when it's still an audi. I'd rather have an F430 for that price. Bam is an alright guy if you get to know him, but you would be an ass too if everyone you know came up to you telling you "to do jackass" I know the fans are what made him where he is but still.... Still though the nicest guy out of that group is Ryan Dunn, he races with us for Bimmerworks and is always involved with the BMW and racing community. Talk to him about cars and like a human being and he is one of the nicest guys around.
