The 5K Audis aren't small, but this thing's as big as a *house*! You know how Rolls/Bentley would not quote horsepower ratings, saying merely that it was "adequate"? Well, it's pretty damn adequate, I'd say, because this monster just effortlessly pulled away from me. Yep, there's something impressive about a vehicle so large being able to accelerate like that ... -Arun '91 200TQ '85 5KTCSS (CSS: Charlie Smith Spring:-) PS: If you see a Bentley in the Bay Area with a license plate that says VOL NUTT, make sure you're driving your fastest Audi before you challenge him ! -- Arun Rao Scientist Pixar 1001 W.
