Audi Ur-Q vs. Mustang 308

[edkellock at juno.com]

I would agree that a 5 cylinder turbo quattro is
not exactly a shoe-in for drag racing, but a V8
Quattro 5 speed is about as close as you'll get.
I just had mine in LA and it was amazingly and
immediately fast off the line.  Might still not give
a Mustang a run... actually I believe it would.
