I raced a 2005 RS6 about three months ago, and pulled on it. It definitely has more power than the ISF, but is heavier. Still, I was surprised at beating it, with its 450 BHP twin turbo V8.

Hey Rock, thanks for the info. I didn't know one guy's times were considered the benchmark there.
8:18 for the ISF huh...I bet it would do substantially better if Lexus hadn't equipped it with such narrow rubber. I mean, come on! 225 front and 255 rear is pretty narrow for a 3780 lb sports car...I run the same size rubber on my wife's S2000, and it weights a 1000 lbs less.
