Default We should start a therapy group for

all of the guys that post the same line. Maybe a class action lawsuit to get AOA to pay for your group. Does their post make them feel better about not wanting to upgrade? There must be a lot of them out there because we get one post almost once a week.

FYI it is said that the onboard software limits the engine until after 1000+ miles. I shouldn't but I will assume that the car is not broken in yet.

I would also like to commend them on their baseline study of the differences in the two cars and their thorough review.

If it makes you feel any better I am sure your A4 is really nice and fast and you are very happy with it. If you don't feel the need or have the means then your set.

and that he's posting this more to make fun of that B6A4 guy than you guys?

now you might want to call the horses back to the stable...

Default We can't be held accoutable for poorly delivered sarcasm, if it truly was that.

Either way, Evil Buddha is responding more to the typical post than this particular incident. It is funny to see all of the logical backflips that are required to explain away the desire to upgrade.

Yeah, but the B7 S4 owners have it really rough being beaten by a 2.0L A3 front driver!
