This contradicts what you said earlier when beating up on Michael
Williams...comparing tq's to a M3 WITH brake mods (with the stock brakes of an
M3 being among the best on a street car already). Michael specifically stated
"real world conditions" which does not really mean 10 or 11 tenths on a track.
BTW, the only person I know who owns an M3 is offing it to buy an A4q Avant
FWIW. I think Igor hit the nail on the head though. The vast majority of those
"tuned monsters" are not nice cars to drive daily. I'll bet that Igor's 200q
is very much that, in fact so much so that I wonder how much more he will like
the A4 (I'm sure your unbiased report on that is soon to come, TIA Igor
;-)...)
