Re: stock 4000Q faster than A4?

["Jon Linkov" <njconn@email.msn.com>]

Which run group were you in? Which day were you faster ( the first, second
or both)? I mean, I was in the novice (lowest) group, and there was so much
traffic it wasn't safe to pass at some points. If you are first out of the
pits, sure, you're faster than everyone else, plus if you have a slightly
inexperienced person behind you, no one else is passing them ... or you.

Not trying for a fight, but there are a lot of variables ... without
discussing weight of the car, physics, etc.
