Are they really that big????? I always thought they were roughly the same
size as the 5000, and the 200 (10v), and the ur-s4 and s6......The A8 is a
bit bigger than those cars.

Woah that's heavier than I thought they were. I had a little.....shall we
say.....contest with an A4tq in my Alfa spider(stock '79), he couldn't keep
up, but he's got an extra 1000lbs on me and not too much more power.
