Re: 0-60 What??

If the A8 is anything like the V8 - It was slow off the line, but I dusted a
540i from 80-120mph, and a 7 series BMW also (unk if 8 or 12 cly...)... It
wouldnt beat a truck thru an intersectoin, but I found the V8 to run 150mph
for extended periods w/o any troubles.. It was a great car at high speeds.
It was damn quick... It was a blast in the rain also, all the soccer mom's
in their BMW's and Lexus's got to the soccer field later.. .;-)
