RE: k24/26 hybrid aka RS2

["Dave Eaton" <Dave.Eaton@clear.net.nz>]

actually the latest "audi driver" magazine makes an intersting point in it's
write-up on the rs2.  it says that the rs2 is unfairly slagged for turbo
lag, when the porblem is basically non-linear throttle response.

it uses 5th and 6th gear acceleration times to show that the rs2 is not
laggy compared to the s2, it is just that the on-boost shove is very very
compelling in comparison :-)

looking at the figures you can see their point.  having said that however,
2nd gear corners are much better in the 20v ur-q than in the rs2.

Hmmmmm. . .this makes no sense to me after hearing people complain about the
excessive lag linked with the rs2 turbo.  Certainly makes me rethink a few
future plans. . .or does it?
