Audi R8'is a cool ride but I prefer the c7. z51.

I believe the c7 z51 runs VIR faster than the R8

He's right. The RS6 will certainly best the new C7...

..in number of tail light bulbs needing be replaced, cruise control malfunctions, engine control issues and over-all electrical gremlins. That I can guarantee!

Audi's comment, in itself, is an indicator that they feel threatened by the new C7...

My sister in law will agree with you on that. She got rid of her Audi. My brother is having tons of issues with his 2009 BMW 328 as well. I will stick with my GM junk.

In general, German cars certainly don't get the high marks they once did for reliability. Still, comparing an Audi to a Corvette seems to be nearly impossible to me.

Audi seems to talk a lot of junk lately.

1. that billboard about chess with BMW M3. Checkmate.
2. said the new NSX is copy from R8. the R8 is copy from 1990 NSX!
3. now C7?

they can't even beat the new M135i with their RS3 which is about $15k more expensive.
they couldn't beat the M3 with their S4. so they bring RS4 and still gets spanked by good ol' M3.

why are you making fool out of yourself Audi???

I don't know about that. Last year was my first time at NJMP and I was running circles around the Audi R8 V10 in my stock S2000 by the middle of 2nd session of the day. I got the video to prove it if anyone wants.

Regardless, I can't stand Audi anymore. they are ruining their reputation by talking smack about other manufacturers and can't back it up. why start a fight that you can't win?

Driver mod! I have seen an older 4th gen RS6 on you tube pass a C6Z06 at VIR but I would always tack that up to driver. C6Z06 would smoke an older RS6 in anything.

Couldn't agree more. They're trying so hard to get noticed and recognized but would be better off avoiding such cheap tactics. Sick and tired of this company.
