Handled, stopped and was kind of quick, but you cant beat german build quality.

IH8TOADS Silver Donating Members 3,618 Member For: 19y 11m 10d Gender: Male Location: OZ Posted 30/08/07 12:51 PM Share Posted 30/08/07 12:51 PM Didn't the audi engineers held design the BA. This is what my old man said who worked for ford. Chech out the rear of a BA and compare it to say an A4... definately some similarities. Also the manual gear shifter and surrounds are very similar to a mates TT. Audi's are mint, will never be able to afford a decent one though :( Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/37860-audi-r8/page/2/#findComment-569762 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Orion takes this even further. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/37860-audi-r8/page/2/#findComment-569769 Share on other sites More sharing options...
