I guess this has more to do with our age than everything else....I think
Mike Gough and I are among the youngest listers (he's 16 or 17 and I'm 22)
and I'd rather have a small, lighweight car like my coupe quattro (2400 lbs)
with 3 or 400 HP than a boat with even twice the HP!!! As for the
suspension, the one in my car is the same that it came with out of the
factory (at 180+ k miles) and it's pretty comfortable...2 weeks ago we drove
1200 miles in one day (at an average of +/- 100 mph) and I wasn't that
tired...I think I was less tired than I would have been if I had done the
same journey with my father's new Opel Astra Coupe (great looking car but an
actual sh** to drive, it's just too slow at 125 HP and 2400 lbs)
Definitely gimme a new A4 with a 2.6l 25vt 400 hp engine!!!! :-)))))


That's just my 0.02 Euro (hey the euro's coming pretty soon!) :)
