so where are the burn out vids?

 

Confiscated by Hertz security when they came to repossess the car. ; )

 

comb, recorded every little stone chip, door ding, scratch, mark, curb rash, interior mark, inspected under the hood with most items having security wire on it to prevent theft, etc.... It was ridiculous. Only a manager could inspect the car and you couldn't just drop it off after you were done. You had to take it to a special area where the same manager came back for the post rental inspection.

Having said all that, I did very few burnouts with what seemed like an unusually high concentration of CHP's everywhere around the track and of course on the track premises but Stahlschmidt managed a few donuts as did Press. None recorded of course so they can post up and say I was lying about it!

The off-the-line acceleration wasn't too bad with a 3.55 rear end but the car did not seem all that fast all things considered. I'd say acceleration was on par with Press' 4.2, maybe a little quicker. The transmission did shift nicely with quick crisp shifts. I wish my old RS6 had the same shift habits. Fit and finish was ridiculously horrible with cheap materials and lousy ergonomics. The engine however sounded very nice with an open CAI and a decent exhaust note. It's clearly a one dimensional car with seating for two (although we hauled 5 people in it twice!). Boy do we get spoiled by Audi quality.

Had all sorts of people challenging me all weekend. I guess when you drive a car like that, everyone wants to race. Didn't take a single person up on a challenge.

 

Too funny on the post inspection but I guess I can understand their perspective.....

 

Totally.

 

... of them.

Fortunately, you're too mamture for that..... hehehhehehehee.

 

getting caught but there were cops absolutely everywhere and that car isn't exactly stealthy like an Audi.

 

lol....

 

lol.
