Mike, come now, give the poor guy a break, Audis in general may not be
quarter-mile beasts, but doesn't mean you can't take your car out there all
day and have a good time in one.  Heck, Amurnican' iron isn't all that fast,
in fact you look at most of those muscle cars from the 60's with supposed
3-400hp, and most of them didn't do 0-60 in under 7 seconds, nothing wrong
with small displacement motors that aren't pulling a ton of car along with
them.

I say go out there and have a good time, no need to rent a truck to drag
race, learn how to release the clutch smoothly and find the best shift
points.
