Audi's turbo engines have many affordable mods,

i don't like the way BMW is using the pussy slogan "JOY...."
we should petition to bring back "The Ultimate driving machine"

2.0t but performance figs - when tested
the 2.0t auto 0-100 was like 7.6secs and not under 7 as they claim.........
even a c250cgi was tested at 7secs and that is a 1.8turbo,
why the lack of acceleration?
