Just wanted to confirm the fact that...
using your standards you agree that none of the non-chipped, non-modified Audi's (other than the RS4 and RS6) are "very fast".
Most of the people that like to denigrate the G35/TLs etc. as being "not very fast" are the same ones that say their 2.7t/4.2 "pulls like a freight train" which is being somewhat hypocritical in my opinion.
I personally think my unchipped 2.7t is "pretty fast", given that it is probably faster than at least 90% of the other cars out there on the road, but as long as you are consistent, you are entitled to your opinion as to what constitutes "fast".

what are 350's and the G35 running 1/4 mile?
A good driver will get 14.3-14.5 from a stock A6 6 speed. Stock Tip 2.7T runs 14.9-15.2
Chipped Tip runs 13.9-14.0
Chipped 6 speed 13.6-13.8's.
K04 6 speed 12.9's-13.1
K04 Tip 13.2-13.6
5 years ago the A6 was pretty competitive out there and a chipped one, was a real shock to people.
But the other brands have caught and in alot of cases passed the A6 .
At the track with regular drivers I might believe the A6 will run faster laps. It is more forgiving of mistakes.
With good drivers, the edge goes to the 350 and g35

No, but I would expect to lose. The Z has 300 hp at 3350 lbs., faster car.
But it has a very poorly built interior and rides like a 3/4 ton pickup. It's comparing a nice grand tourer to a stripped down sports car.

Oh yeah! There are single and twin turbo kits, super charger kits, chips and tons of other high
performance upgrades. They hit the market about the same time as the car did. That's why I can't wait to see what Gimp does with his. Now you need to get one so I can see what you'll do.

horsepower is only part of the equation. Torque very important too and the 2.7T w/chip is...
a veritable stump puller. The problem with hi-revving Japanese designs is that they get you HP at the very top end, but they aren't very "torquey" engines...which is what you need for schoolin' people at stop lights. 8-)
If you could find a way to stuff twin screws under the 350's hood and not melt the tops of the pistons off under boost, you'd have a seriously fast ride.
Cheers,
