AUDI 100 V-6 ENGINE CAR INFORMATION.

[Danton J.A. Cardoso]

You know, its kind of interesting when we say that some of our cars are so
darned slow.  Isn't it true that Europeans are more concerned with the
top-end of the vehicle, and its ability to maintain triple-digits or at
least close enough to it, at a constant rate with out failure?  Also, aren't
they more concerned with a passing time of 80-100 mph as opposed to 0-60?
