has this 7.2 number been independently verified or is this just a
factory claim?  all the rags that i have that tested the 90Q20V
indicate that real world numbers are way off the factory numbers.

i've driven the various non turbo 20V audis and none of them felt
like they could do anything below 8.  i'm sure our track friends
can say more.... :)

it's also perfectly possible that the 30V a4 is also not as fast
as it is claimed.
