Default I would have to agree ...

If the problem was indeed as bad as you say it was, you should seek out a 4-wheel dyno shop in your area, and have the car analyzed under load.

There is something wrong with your S8.

A 6-ish second car can not be "whipped" by "almost anyone." That's just physics.

When your car is on a dyno, with the hood open you can run it at speed while monitoring important engine values and watching mechanical items supposedly do their jobs.

Default The Good, Bad, and the Ugly

After 70k miles, my first impressions haven't changed much, except that the brakes are much worse than I thought.

Default "with old price" -- wow, a whole $400 off.

j/k -- looks like a very nice car, but $32k is going to hard to get outside of a dealer.

I wish Audi would've done a grey interior with Al interior trim.
