R8 gt3
Audi’s foray into the GT3-class has officially been forged in the form of the Audi R8 GT3 racecar. Internally referred to as ‘R16’, the R8 GT3 will be available for customers to buy in the fall of 2009, with the first races planned for later the same year.
According to Audi, the GT3 version of the R8 will pump out 500 horsepower, all of which will be sent through a sequential sport six-speed gearbox, exclusively to the rear wheels (GT3 regulations prohibit the use of four-wheel drive).
Other changes include a revised front fascia, racing-spec wheels and tires and a large rear wing to help keep the R8 GT3 glued to the tarmac. The R8 GT3 will use the majority of the R8’s stock suspension pieces.
The R8 GT3 will be build alongside the standard R8 by Audi Sport and the quattro GmbH.

hell yeah!
I'll sail with ya. My plan of buying a Ensenada 20 this summer and living on it on the weekends kinda fell thru. At this point, all I have is an old Scorpion that should probably be scrapped instead of fixed, like Im doing.

Sailboats: You're doing it wrong!
Wanted to see if I could find a pic with the black/orange scorpion sail like I have. Clicked on sail-boat-freak.com and this is what they tell me about the Scorpion Sailboat.
See Also Scorpion Sailboat:
Look for scorpion sailboats under objects, or go out with a flashlight at night when they are active; use jar or can with lid punctured for air; gently push or guide scorpion sailboat into container; if specimen is harmless, pick it up by its tail which renders it helpless at once scorpion sailboats are easily maintained in captivity when properly housed and fed.
POWERBOAT-SAILBOAT ENCOUNTERS The above situations involve encounters between two power-driven vessels.
Heh. WTF?!
