I'm going to start this again.  I really disagree with you guys over the VR6
vs. the Audi V6.  The VR6 is lots of fun and it has better initial
acceleration feel, probably due to the throttle linkage and induction
setup.  However, if you have your foot down into the Audi V6, past that
point where the linkage and induction makes it so nice for my wife to drive
smoothly, quietly, and unobtrusively, it feels and goes significantly
better than the VR6.  There are some mechanic/racers back in the Denver
area who don't even put the VR6 in the same class as the Audi V6.

Just an opinion, as I'm obviously not as enamored of the VR6 as the press
and you guys....Great packaging success, but not engineering and performance.
