Yeah, Superleggera's and SSR Comps.
Very fast, what engine mods does he have? K04s? What does he post as?
There was also a santorin sedan w/ blue tint w/ a 2000 badge (relocated to Euro placement), as well as a silver sedan w/ Superleggera's w/ his front fogs and grills removed. Anyone know them or what they post as?
We have some killer pics of the cars, especially as of the black avant.

Geez, Smurfette! Another new sig! Hey, you should have gone to the Gingerman deal...
it was $135 and there were a lot of nice people and cool cars there.
Also, guess what? Leslie and I are building a track car. We just bought a '91 Isuzu Impulse RS. 33K miles! One owner, a car nut (Z06, Cobra, 993) like us. Car is perfect. No rust, dings, ect. 800 were made over two years. Same 1.6L as the Lotus Elan. 1.6L 4 w/160hp. Car weighs 2670;lbs .87 G's, stock. We're gutting the interior, changing a few things here and there, putting in an 8pt cage, exhaust, larger turbo (that will have to wait until fall), some Falken Avenisis Sports, ect. Without the cage, car will weigh 2200lbs light weighted! Cage weighs roughly 100lbs.
With the exhaust and downpipes that will be on the car, it will put out 185hp on the stock turbo/ecu. With the larger turbo, you're looking at 240hp and 2400lbs. That's a 11% better power to weight ratio than an RS4, and it will weigh 33% less, WITH the cage. With 185hp, it should run 14.1-14.3 in the
1/4 at about 96mph. With 240hp, it should run 12.5's at aroung 106mph.
Cool, huh! We'll have it with most mods except the turbo at the next Chicago Area Audi Club auto-x.
On another note, that S4 Avant was fast at Gingerman. He seems to drive really well.
On a sad note, some guy rolled his E36 M3 HARD. 80mph off sideways at turn 9 and flipped at roughly the same speed. I have 12 frames of him from before he flipped, all the way through until when the car stopped. He was ok, but the car is WAY totalled. I will post the images later (off to the p's for easter).
