Unless I'm reading your C&D post wrong, the RS7 is in fact faster in the quarter mile - or did I get that wrong? And from 5Mph (C&D rolling start) the advantages of AWD go away - however check out what happens from 50-70 with the RS7
Pick up a magazine - see what A8s, S7s, S6s are doing in terms of performance. I think you will be amazed and suspect like I do, that the S6/S7 engine is way underrated.

Alas, we have taken this conversation far enough off topic. I think I've proven my point and you think you have proven yours.
