Well, I think it is not only the Audi's, about a year ago when I was in
Texas I used to have a Sterling (made by Rover of england with colaboration
with Honda so it had the Acura legend engine in it). I was racing with a
friend and then there was this turn I had to take I was going about 110 mph
and slammed on the brakes but the car refused to stop I down shifted and
pressed the brakes as hard as I could but felt that the car was
accelerating. Anyways I made it across the turn and then it was OK. Point
being it was not only audi could have been other cars as well.
