Just how he said it. I respect all cars, and love Pcars. It has nothing to do with the Audi, it has to do with the Audi owner.
After all, haven't you heard the one about the comparison between a BMW and a porcupine? Well, there are even more about the Audi guys. HAHA!!!

They are not very fast in a straight line, but in the right hands are very quick around the twisties. This one passed me after 5 laps but then he span around, as many do, without ESP, when they try too hard...

Both I came accross must have been in the wrong hands then, since I left one and was trying to pass the other all in the twisties.
