Yup, 6-dead is the right figure!

So what's that suppose to mean? You are yet to make an assumption even with the new, more realistic figures for the audi...

who do you think it would win? 1/4

I reckon the bmw will win it by a fraction if it gets a good start (grippy tarmac, warm tyres etc.)

Sapkan,

Thanks for posting that. I've lost my mag so it was fantastic to see it again. 0-60 in 5.8 and 0-100 in 14.6 that's outrageous for any family car let alone a diesel.
What a car I love it
