Audi R8 - Z06 - Porsche Turbo drag race on airport runway

This took place at Dekalb Peachtree Airport in Atlanta , GA on June 7th 2008 during the "Good Neighbor Day & Open House" airshow. The Atlanta car club Durty Dubs also held a car show. My self and several friends from the Southeast forum of Audiworld.com were present. This was a drag race that started at the end of a runway that was well out of sight from all of us spectators but what you see is the result. The drive in the Audi R8 was a Audi mechanic from Jim Ellis named John Cassara and the drivers of the other two cars were actually local radio DJ's, so what's that tell ya...

@TeamCanada027 lol when my dads back from italy? dude stop flaming, if your so rich you would just buy a new camera. you are poor and dont have any of these cars.

@Rebals2 Mercedes, seriously? Technically speaking they have already passed Mercedes. The R8 was never designed to compete with Ferrari or Lamborghini anyways, it is a competitor to the 911 porsche.

@Rebals2 the v10 r8 can

[Rebals2]

I love the R8, but it can't compte with makers like mercedes, Ferrari and lambo.

[TeamCanada027]

do u have either...sorry but no! i have an R8 and trust me it wont beat a Z06 in a straight line. The Z06 is a drag car..its up there with the best

[GeorgeOfDubai]

this is wierd the manufacturer claims for 0 to 100kmph times are 4.6, 3.7 and 3.9(manual) for the r8, z06, and 911turbo.....so this video doesnt make sense!!!
