Doesn't the quick time (6.5 seconds for the '91 200) have something to do with the very flat torque curve? > > I've often wondered about this .. there are many more 200+ HP cars running around today (than there were in '91), and most are lighter than the '91 200Q. And yet, not many match the Audi's performance (we can debate the 6.2s number, but I've actually *driven* many of the newer cars). >
