Gee, they haven't shot Bill Gates yet have they? :-O

Well, OK. I thought Scott really did mean a S4 Avant, not an RS2. Whatever
do all those names mean? I thought S4 was a I5t, what's an RS2?
So, I can understand not wanting to sacrifice one of these for the crash test,
but does that mean that no one could get the drivetrain put into a 
"normal" A6 Avant. Is it the body the feds are interested in or the
whole combination. So here's the deal. Wouldn't some rebuilder in the
US consider this? Does callaway crash one of its Vettes since all it
really does is replace the motor with a twin turbo monster? Couldn't
this be done on an imported car too? Or do domestics have an advantage
here?

Enquiring minds want to know.
