In my case? Absolutely!  I went up Pikes Peak in Ingo Rautenberg's V8 lastyear,
and was totally impressed. Far more rigid than my car, better build quality,
and wonderful engine sounds. (His car had 170K+ on the clock at the time, and
mine
had 60K or so!)

IMHO, it's the only Audi I've been in that ranks with Mercedes
in build quality. (Now I've really gone and done it, haven't I?)
