I entirely agree with you and Graydon. Horsepower is _very_ hard to
overcome,
especially when you already have a weight advantage (e.g. RX7TT vs.
A4Q). Dunno
offhand what the Sport Q weighs, though I'd bet it's alot closer to the
RX7TT
than to the A4Q. What I find significant about what I saw is that one
time was
done on a soaked and cold track.
