C'mon guys, we're being pissed off by a 10 year old (more)
who simply thinks that because of the faster accel numbers and the look of the GS400, that it is better than any other car he has ever seen. Simply judging from his writing/grammer, Pita is:
10-15 years of age
Indian (east asian)
Quadro? a dumb**** that takes his GS400 to the track? give me a f*cking break! and the just gun it and then go? sure but with the tiptronic shift and the tiptronic clone on the GS400, it matters where you shift (torque peaks. etc) and 'I just raced my friend's stock A4? BULL****? why only mention it after how long?
If he was really a GS400 owner, he wouldn't waste his time doing this ****. **** OFF KID!

What the #@&*!!!
All of this bickering makes me feel like I'm back on the Super Honda site before my acura got stolen and replaced with an a4. Everyone keeps talking about GS400's and A4's and S4's etc. They're all great cars. The GS400 kicks some serious *** for the type of car that it is. The A4 & S4 also kick *** for the type of car they are.
Point is enjoy what YOU drive. Don't **** and moan over what everyone else drives, be it out of jealousy, hatred, or ignorance.
Personally I've had all sorts of Japanese cars and this my first German car. I've been impressed with ALL of them in their own way.
Just my 2 cents. I'm really not trying to come across like a preacher, sorry if I do. I enjoy what Japanese and German cars do to each other in the performance market. The make each other raise the bar just a little bit further and that works out for our enjoyment. Just think the GS400 is in response to the success of the 540i and the Z3 is in response to the success of the miata.
Why start **** like this?

How I can stand to drive a 10 second 0-60 car:
I realize that str8 line acceleration isn't everything. What good is a 10 1/4 mile time when you drive residential roads 85% of the time? Even at low legal speeds you can enjoy a competent cars handling. Some cars feel incredibly dynamic at any speed and will put a smile on your face standing still. The name of the game is finesse and an earnest appreciation for engineering no matter what rock it came from.
Let's see, Previa. Oops. Just had a bowel movement. Sounds about the right reaction.
