Most people would think the V10 Audi R8 is pretty damn fast.
According the the Audi R8 Wiki:
Audi AG unveiled the Audi R8 V10 on 9 December 2008. It uses a 5.2 litre FSI engine, based on the unit in the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 (which in turn was based on the 5.2 FSI V10 as used in the Audi C6 S6 and Audi D3 S8), but is re-tuned to produce a power output of 525 metric horsepower (386 kW; 518 bhp), and generate 530 newton metres (391 ft·lbf) of torque. Compared to the V8 variant, the R8 V10′s performance numbers are enhanced. Audi states the new 0 to 100 kilometres per hour (0 to 62.1 mph) time as only 3.9 seconds, 60 to 124 miles per hour (97 to 200 km/h) in 8.1 seconds, and a top speed of 317 kilometres per hour (197.0 mph).
The folks from STaSIS, however, think “pretty damn” fast isn’t fast enough. With their top-of-the-line Challenge Extreme package, they have successfully turned the out-of-the-box beast into a legitimate monster on the asphalt.
They wanted “holy crap I think I peed in my pants” fast.

According to the official STaSIS website, the power has gone from 525 hp to 710 hp, torque has gone from 391 lb-ft to 523 lb-ft, 0 to 60 from 3.7 seconds to 3.1 seconds, lateral acceleration from 0.99 G to 1.01 G and brake acceleration from 1.02 G to 1.05 G.
What does this mean to you, the driver? It means you better hold on and get ready for the ride of your life.
You can almost feel the roar of the engine when you look at this picture. STaSIS V10 Audi R8 Challenge Extreme image from http://www.stasisengineering.com/signature/stasis-signature-series-r8-v10-52-2010.
That is, of course, assuming you can afford not only the v10 Audi R8 but also the $56k STaSIS Challenge Extreme Package.
