I've seen three so far, one guy had one at the glen in the intermediate group, sounded good, was having some sort of problem, slipping and sliding all over the track, everbody was passing him.
The other two I saw on the streets in Manhattan, nothing special, I'll kep the TT. The car prolly is a good match for a C4S.

Its NOTHING to do with DOT - its called product liability. Many of these cars are unserviceable in a normal garage.

Of more interest to some people is what happened to quattro GmbH's RS4 with the V-10 engine.

You may very well think so, I couldn't possibly comment.

Don't know about the other guy but I spent a week in a press car. I run a men's lifestyle mag in Canada.

the 'black' panel BTW is carbon. You can also have it painted any colour you want as well as body colour.
