My 2 pennies worth: I own a 20 v. 90 Q. and I definitely don`t blow away Camaros, Rx 7, etc. at traffic lights. In fact my first impression of the Audi was that it was surprisingly sluggish from 0-60! This car is a blast when you cruise at 140- 150 km. (so far I`ve been lucky...)and I feel generally very safe in it -but I avoid dragging at lights on purpose.
