My S4tt IS slow...and A64.2

[Derek Daily]

This car is soooo slow....(waiting) 
"How slow is it?"

It's parked.  

But...for now I'm driving around an A6 V8 loaner. 
Wow.  This thing impresses me even more every day. 
IMHO, its the best all around car I've ever driven. 
4.2 is torquey, sport pkg is fair, handling is great,
luxury interior is tops and yet a don't feel like a
geezer driving what is basically an expensive luxury
car for the richer than I (ala E320, E430, lexus,
infiniti, 528, S80, etc).

The extra 40hp in the S6 will be nice, but this thing
is fine as is.  And when I put the foot down, it goes.
 But the Director if any company is comfortable in the
back for any length of time.  Awesome.

The S4tt may be faster on paper in draglight races,
but the V8 has power ready when you want it and the
extra size (track + whlbse) make me feel comfortable
at speed on the fwy.

I've even been told that this car feels like its
hardly pushing at 115 in 3rd. 80 is 2k rpm in 5th.
It's built for other countries...

If the A6 4.2 plummets in cost after 3 years ala A8 a
lot of us should be looking at them.  

By that time (if the mechs figure out my electrical
gremilins int he S4tt) I may have to throw some
goodies inside to make it 'compete.'
