New R&T Issue Shootout: Audi Wins
Hi all. I just got the new Road & Track issue. It has 2 Ferraris on the
cover. In it is a shootout between the A4 1.8T, VW Jetta VR6, Subaru Legacy
GT Sedan, Acura Integra GS-R Sedan, and Nissan Maxima. The Audi seems to
have won points wise and did quite well keeping up with the VW Jetta in
quickness even theough it was only a 4cyl w/ Quattro as added weight.
I think you'll atleast be pleased, and seeing my Jetta keeping up with the
pack, makes me happy.
While checking out the issue there is an art section with what looks like
an old Auto Union racer in one of the pictures.
Also, did you hear Audi has commissioned an English firm to restore it's
Auto Union racer. While performing this job they will also be building a
one off replica from the ground up. Not an easy task, but rumor is the
original will go in the new Audi Museum being planned in Ingolstadt and the
replica will go on tour promoting Audi's Motorsport Heritage. I didn't read
that in R&T so you won't find it there. I saw it in some English Mag while
browsing in Barnes and Noble in Georgetown.
