Yes I do feel like this when you going 60 MPH and you step on the gas it's not that impressive .
Sorry guys I'm not impress with the performance of this car since I own Maserati's, BMW and Mercedez which are much faster, this it's my 1st Audi and don't get me wrong it's a beautiful car with technology ahead of the competition so I think they should-it put at least 380 plus HP. Now!! the new S7 coming out it's something else.

The S7 will be worth the Wait: and imagine what a Tune could do to that V8!
I know a couple guys who bought A7s while they are waiting for S7, to the OP is not in an unusual situation. It will all work out in the end
Too bad the Dealer didn't share the S7 info with him though: could have earned a long term customer instead of 1 A7 sale

I like the juice I get out of the A7. However, my point of reference is a 1980 MGB with 105 HP, not a Maserati. LOL

OP also the S7 will be a beast and nice package but as others have said IF you keep low miles on your A7 then it will probably fetch you a good price on an S7 trade later on this year. I seriously doubt any Audi dealer will have any difficulty selling your car on a trade to a new owner. 
The A7 could use more HP sure but compared to others its hardly anemic. No its not an M5 or M6 but that's what the S7 is for. For those wanting a little more hp and torque..check out the ECU upgrades out there which raise the bar at least to 390+hp/375 torque in most cases. I am waiting for Stasis's ECU release in particular and likely will go that route to match their exhaust which I put on my car.

Till them am enjoying my car like everyone else as its a great car. Just got the wife a 2011 Panamera v6 and by comparison the A7 is its equal in many ways and in some ways better IMHO.

Thank you for your input, I think I'm going to wait for the Stasis ECU upgrade becouse I know I'm going to get killed on a trade-in and have over $83 on this car and I really like-it. (Let you know what I do after I see the S7 in person later this year.

Guess you'll have to settle for the Maseratis for speed until later this year! Just kidding. My guess is if you keep the miles low on the A7, you'll get a good trade in value. I had an '11 A6 for 10 months before getting the A7. I had no intention of getting the A7 when I bought the A6, but the trade in value/overall deal surprised me, especially with the A6 changeover in the 2012 model year.

I talk to my dealer today and there is a ECU tuning from Stasis that will not void your warranty and it will give the A7 up to 390 HP. Let you know when I get-it
