V8Q 0-60 times

[edkellock at juno.com]

I have in front of me the 1991 Audi V8 brochure.
The factory claims 0-60 in 8.7 for the auto, 7.1 for the stick.
Most likely conservative.  Auto mags generally better those
figures.  I believe I've also heard 6.7 for the stick .
Top speeds are 146 and 152, according to Audi.
