Re: 0-60 What??

[Albert Ng <alng@expert.cc.purdue.edu>]

I was just about to send the same question to the list.... I think on
audiusa.com, it says the A6 4.2 go from 0-60 in 6.7sec (A6 2.7t in
6.0/6.6sec). I mean the difference shouldn't be that far apart. Do you
guys think this is due to the engine hasn't fully broken-in in R&T's test
car??

OTOH, the Bimmer 540i(autobox) is the only V8 there that can go 0-60 in
less than 7sec; not even the GS400.... that's really strange.
