so with that argument you would say then that the S4 competes with the M3 but not the RS4?

yeah but I can guarantee you that lightning doesn't turn/handle worth a crap or brake for that matter...

Yes. It's Audi's fault they decide to limit the S4 and not just build the RS model into the S4.

word is 150+ but we won't know for sure so it's along the lines of GT3RS, Gt2, Scuderia, etc.

Well I'm sure there will be more the 150 GT-R's produced. Again, not bashing Vettes just saying there is a new breed of butt kicking competition under 80k, not even sure what the costs are for a Z07 or other varieties of Vette.

plenty of cars under 100K that can put up those numbers: Noble's, Catherham's, Ariel Atom's w/ the turbo'ed/supercharged motors and last but not least Radicals. The more important question is will YOU be able to buy a GTR for under 100K. We all know they will mark it up any chance they get.

Wagner 10-16-2007 08:52 PM
Granted they will definitely do that. Not many of the cars whooping up on 100+ plus cars will carry a Nissan motor though. ;)

I honestly think it's a sellout that they went away from the RB26DETT motor.. That straight 6 was a gem having driven both the R32 and R33's

The caterham is a kit car. Do they have any noble dealers in the usa and has the M15 been released yet? The radical is not that plentiful either, haven't they only made like 300 of those and again bit of a kit/track car...Again the atom is not very practical either

in the link below u will see the atom and also notice how the porsche and ferrari cars fail to break the 4 second 0-60 barrier and also the atom BREAKS DOWN.. to much wear on the clutch after just 4 runs

Whether the numbers on the nissan are reproduced remains to be seen. As far as price my prediction is rare and hard to find when introduced but heavily discounted when unsold at end of it's first year of production

o and sorry to thro out the viper again but my 08 is on order for only 83k
