I think that the LT-1 Audi is absolutely great.  These guys working on it
are quintessential Ammurican car guys and they oughta be bronzed.  Lookit:
An Audi 5K is a great car, but its not a Hispano-Suiza.  There are a lot of
them around, and they're perfect candidates for this kind of outrageous
experimentation.  Someday, if money and leisure permit, I'd like to do two
swaps:  a 3.0 liter Milano Verde drivetrain into a '69 Alfa GTV, and a ZR-1
drivetrain into an early '50's Chevy 3100 pickup.  Why?  I don't know, I'm
just smitten with the prospects.

Anybody can build an ersatz S2:  just order Audi factory parts and bolt them
on competently.  But the LT-1 project is... heroic.
