Who was talking about waiting for the "fast A4" Avant? Abt has a tuning package for just about all of them: 1.8 l/ 125 HP goes to 150 HP 2.6 l/150 HP goes to 180 HP 1.8T/150 HP goes up to TWO HUNDRED EIGHTY FIVE!!! The last mod only takes five days of labor and costs 16,900 DM ($13,000ish) but you get new 3d, 4th and 5th gears. Joe Yakubik
