[s-cars] Re: No more Audis

[Frank Stadmeyer]

So, between myself, Taka and Pizzo, we have all 3 of the latest hot cars (I 
went for the R32 as PaulK's neighbors can attest to).
I suppose I can still claim to be in the Audi fold since it's a 3.2 TT 
underneath. And like Taka and Pizzo, I'm still hanging around.

The other 2 cars are quicker in a straight line but out of the dealership, 
I think the R32 is a better all-around package and something that is easier 
to live with on a day to day basis. At the rate I'm putting miles on the 
car though, I'll be ready for an RS3 when it's available.

One thing I will say is that my '91 200Q was much  better for high speed 
highway cruising.

And Bill, if you thought the stock R32 sounded good, listen to one with the 
"exhaust flapper mod".
