Don’t measure all things automotive by comparing “off the line” stats. Not everyone is a boulevard racer. You may not believe this, but there are people that just like to drive the car like a normal human being, instead of burning rubber every time the light turns green. It’s great for 17 year olds who just got their license or 30 year olds whom haven’t grown up yet. But for most drivers, being the fastest car to the next stop light gets old fast.

Still Saves you in the bank. I’m definitely sure it would turn a few heads regardless of what it is underneath1!!

If I handed over a Mercury Cougar and got one of those in return… I’d sure as hell be happy with the results. Which would you prefer?

whoever did this has amazing talent no doubt. You have to give the person props on the craftsmanship alone. I would be embarrassed however getting smoked off the line by an econo box. It might give Audi a bad rep.

Its really not that bad of a replica, but a cougar? Come on now. All the good looks of an R8 with no power to back it up. I would have invested all the money he spent on this on something else, maybe a used 95′ 300zx then twin turbo the sucka. Just a thought.

saw this earlier….for a 7/8 scale car, its okay…loses something in the translation, not as muscular…makes it like a chinese rip-off
