Bad Day for Audi A4's?????

[Ed Kellock <EKELLOCK@ECS-INC.com>]

This makes sense to me.

The nature of the power delivery of a V6 seems like it would be better
suited to autocross, than a turbo.  Even the 1.8t in the A4 has a littel
spool up time.  Sure, you can easily learn to adatp, but smooth consistent
power deliver seems like it would be better for a short, tight autocross.
(It's my impression that autocrosses are weighted on the side of short &
tight).
