Many of you already may know of this project, those of you who are new to it, I hope you like it. Please feel free to opine, question, comment, flame etc.
Summary:
I picked up a 2003 Audi RS6 a few years ago that was being parted out. I picked it up to save it from that fate, with the intention of doing something fun with it much later. It got shoved in my storage unit for about six months and then one drunken evening I bought a GM LS1 from a 2004 Pontiac GTO as I had always wanted to mess with one. One thing led to another and 'judas' was born!
The project is called 'Judas' as in some purists opinion, what I did to a very rare car is sacrilegious, and that is just fine with me, I hate purists anyway so winding them up makes me happy
The goal was to create the same or more power (and power potential), with a fraction of the cost and complexity of the original RS6 V8TT powerplant, while retaining AWD and all the creature comforts of Audi's top of the line supercar of that era.
My main build thread is over on Motorgeek here http://www.motorgeek.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=39901 is you want to check out all the history so far.
