I've seen that video more than once :)  OK I filmed it.  Anyway, I'm sure if it was really racing instead of a stupidly fast "parade lap", the Ferrari's would have shown a decent speed advantage around the corners that may or may not have made up for their possible shortcoming in straightline acceleration over that wagon.

Still pretty awesome to come remotely close to keeping up with such cars, in a "station wagon"..

I'll admit theres a lot to be said for going fast in something that nobody expects to be fast!!

Cheers, Keith

Taka,
Have you seen the "Black Beast" video?  The one with a station wagon putting
the smack down on a red Ferrari?  At the track.  At speed?
I would supplant "none" with "very few".

IMHO, none of the "C" chassis or "D" chassis Audis are suitable for track
use when you get fast enough that it really matters. Taka
